Hello,
I think I waited to late to get avenue q tickets. Telecharge has a ticket for rear mez. I am going to NY March 15-19. Are there any other ticket places to go to like telecharge to purchase a reasonable priced ticket? Or can I stand in line at the ticket call or something (never done that before, so I don't know how that works.) Thanks for all the help.

I think at this point, your best chance is to try the last minute rush line. Show up outside the Golden Theater 2 1/2 hours prior to curtain and put your name in the bucket and wait for the drawing 2 hours prior to showtime. (Have cash on hand, they go for $26.25 each I think. You'll need ID as well.) Otherwise, go with the rear mezz tix on Telecharge. Everything else will be close to $100/ticket.

Good luck

Avenue Q isnt at TKTS, and it's a pretty popular show, so rear mezz is probably the cheapest you'll get or only seats without paying full price for front orchestra..
Rear Mezz are REALLY good seats..if you have any questions about them, PM me, cause I sat there and they were GREAT! You can also try for the Ave Q lotto, but its better to have your rear mezz seats and then you can sell them if you win the front row lotto ones :)

ditto to what GirlforTartaglia said. Buy the rear mezz tickets. You can always still try the lottery and if you win try to sell your rear mezz seats to someone else on line. The theatre is small (the smallest one housing a musical) so last row is still fine. A nice amount of people usually show up at the lottery on weekends and they only draw 12 seats (6 names) so I wouldn't rely on that

I also sat in the very last row of the rear mezz. The view was great! Totally worth the $45 if you are able to snag tix.

Ah, Rear mezz Avenue Q tickets...reminds me of my first Broadway show...which was Avenue Q on Sunday. I had 2nd to last row Rear-Mezz, and they weren't terrible. While I would have preferred closer seats, they really weren't as bad as I expected. The theater truly is tiny-and you won't believe it until you get there and see it for yourself. For half the price of what people sitting about 10 feet in front of you are paying-it's WELL worth it. Go for the rear mezz and do the lottery. I wish I had done the lottery..
