Any word yet (official or rumor) on when Classic Stage Company's ASSASSINS revival tickets will go on sale to the general public? Their website just says subscribers and former ticket holders will be notified first. Thanks!

Incorrect.  It begins performances in November -- tickets go on sale much sooner.

Current ticket holder here. I haven't received any emails from CSC since my April 2020 "we were supposed to welcome you this week" email. No information on ticket holder rebooking yet.

CSC sent an e-mail to ticket holders a few weeks ago with a season announcement and confirming ticket holders will get early access to tickets. No word on concrete dates (beyond "November" but it does say you can reach out to the Box Office with questions? So you might. try that.

Really looking forward to this one. I've been holding on to my tickets throughout the entire pandemic, and I'm very excited that I'll finally get to see it this November - and with the entire cast intact!

The rebooking process for current ticket holders sounds, awful, though:

"The official rebooking process for Assassins ticket holders will commence next week. On Tuesday, September 14, we will email directions for rebooking your tickets via an easy-to-use online form, where you will send us your preferred performance dates. Because the CSC staff is still working remotely, we cannot rebook tickets directly over the phone or in person. You’ll receive further information about the process next week, but in the meantime, feel free to consult this performance calendar to start planning your preferred dates to attend the show."

I hope it extends even one week in January.

Makes me wonder how they will handle seat locations for rebookings. I, for one, was very happy with the seat that I chose!

I'm sure they're under a lot of pressure. Still. This is lame and not at all patron-friendly. 

Tho. It's a little bit like mailing away for tickets like old times.

Excited they finally have a starting date!!! I will be in NYC to see the Thanksgiving parade, and I was really hoping to catch this show because it means a lot to me. Hopefully I can snag some tickets for that weekend.

Has anyone got the link to rebook their tickets yet or know when that might be coming out today?

Not yet. I’d typically figure noon, but CSC tends to be a little wonky — for instance, they sent out the email announcing this around 5 PM.

(And not for nothing, KJisgroovy, I’d encourage you to look into the ableist connotations of the word lame and think about choosing another word in the future.)

JFC -- PLEASE tell me you are joking.  Now excuse me while I head out to attend a gypsy run-thru of Wicked..

No, I’m not joking. There’s a reason they changed the name of that robe and there’s a reason you don’t hear certain offensive words used as much anymore. It’s a shame to hear you’re insensitive to the harm that such words can cause.

KJisgroovy, just take the L. And learn something without being all affronted.

KJ didn’t even respond.

Wow, yikes. Read something before pointing fingers. 

It's definitely not my intention to offend and I'm sorry if I did. Pashacar your point is well taken and I'll work on it. I definitely don't have any reason to stand by the usage of that word. 

In a little bit of irony, my husband is disabled and that's why I'm frustrated by this rebooking process. Being able to select our seats that accommodate his disability is something I'd rather do on my own. It seems like I'm going to be at the mercy of whoever is assigning these seats and that's pretty disappointing. 

[Pashacar]

Posted: 9/14/21 at 2:23pm

Yes, two different posters. Hoping KJ used the word in ignorance and has the consideration to make the small vocabulary adjustment to make disabled folks like myself feel more comfortable on this board.

ANYHOW, still no email in my inbox. I keep refreshing. And really only have one top-choice performance so hoping they don’t make us fill out many backup options. Nobody else has received it yet, right?

This seems like it's going to be a messy, confusing, slow roll out. This was a bad choice for them.

Just got the form, you pick your top 3 dates and verify vaccination status

Yep same. Luckily I’m there for 4 days and was waiting to set other shows around this one, but I could see how the two backup dates could cause issues 

[Pashacar]

Posted: 9/14/21 at 4:13pm

Yes, finally! Also, they noted that they will try to rebook you as close to your original seats as possible, which I appreciated.

Has anyone heard back since submitting the form?
