Does anyone know if a P2P code will be/has been released for Bells Are Ringing? I hope it isn't like what happened with Anyone Can Whistle, where they give you no heads up.

I'm hoping for one too. But it's looking less and less likely.
I was waiting for one, too, but decided to just go ahead and use one of the other discounts. I just got a P2P email about another show at City Center, so I'm guessing there isn't one at all for Bells.

I contacted them yesterday. (Whenever in doubt about this, just email P2P, they are great about responding.) They told me that the usual 10 dollar offer will not be available but they would be sending out a 20 dollar offer sometime today.
They are usually very nice about this. When they told met that Anyone can whistle wasn't going to be offering any P2P I ran to the box office and got a ticket (one of the last) before it sold out.
I just used the Playbill discount to ensure that I got a seat at all. I'm going Saturday evening and I'm very excited!
Just bough at ticket for tomorrow night using the P2P code. Last row of the gallery for $20.

FYI the P2P tickets are for the last 2 rows of the gallery only. You can get the rear gallery tickets from the Playbill.com discount for $20 and not be limited to the last two rows. Also, P2P has a $1.00 handling charge now. Yup...from $10 to $21. Sort of defeats the purpose of advertising a $10 NYC student ticket policy, but whatever. I'm glad the show is selling well enough for them to do that and open up the gallery.

Wonderful. Much better than the rear mezz. It's high, but the sightlines and acoustics are incredible.

Thanks Yero, was hesitant about buying up there but it is what I could afford, got row B side.
I think the rear gallery is absolutely atrocious. Front gallery is fine. I've sat in the rear twice, and they were definitely the worst seats I've had in any theater.
ljay- Then you've never sat in the rear mezz at City Center. I don't think it is possible to have sightlines worse than those!
I've sat in the rear mezz, and as awful as it is, it's no match for the rear gallery, which is far, far worse.
I sat in the rear mezz at City Center exactly once and never will again. It was like sitting in a cave. I'd much rather sit in either of the gallery sections.
Rear Gallery is bad, but the Rear Mezz is far worse. In the Rear Mezz you have heads in your way and the overhang above, so it's like you're looking out through a tunnel.

When I sat in the last row of the rear gallery last night with the P2P code - which ended up being the same price as the Playbill.com code that wasn't limiting to the last 2 rows - I felt that I had a terrific view of the overhead lighting fixtures. There was a guy who stood next to me the entire show. The rear gallery is too high up. Also, those seats up there are not very friendly. I know they did lots of renovations last summer, but they must have ignored the gallery.
^ Exactly. I've also seen people standing up there since the view is so terrible. I think they're still doing one more renovation. I hope they fix it up there.

All of the renovations (or most of them) were on the backstage area. They're not moving to the seats until the next phase of renovations.
