I've been hesitant to ask this question given the dislike some on this thread have for this show and/or ALW, but since the thread is back on the front page,...
I do plan on seeing this show. In looking for tickets, I've noticed something odd. The entire center orchesta, together with the first two to for seats from the aisle on the sides back to Row J or so seems to be consistenty "unavailable" , with the exception of an "island" of premium seats in row B. Even with my positive feelings for the show, I doubt all those seats are sold, particularly in such a consistent pattern. Is there a reason seats may be being held for sale?
My first thought was some rows, particularly near the front, may be held while they figure out what (if anything) they are going to do to replicate the London scenic design. However, they would not need to block off THAT many rows, and there is still the question of the seats available in Row B.
My guess is these seats are being held for group tours, or potentially have been sold to groups (they'd be marked unavailable either way). Could there be some other reason? If they are being held for groups, when are such seats typically realesed for general sale?
