I was able to get a refund today for December premium tickets.  Telecharge advised me I needed to write them an email asking for a refund which they would forward to the producers.  I complied and then they emailed me saying they forwarded my email to the producers. Telecharge then called indicating the producers wanted to know if I was flying in for the show from Illinois.  I explained I had purchased the tickets for my daughter after seeing the show off Broadway.  I also told the telecharge rep that I had tickets for 11/9 for my wife and a friend which he then found on their system and said, "Good that will help."  30 minutes later I received a call saying the refund had been approved.  Strange about the question they asked.  But glad it got resolved.

I attempted to get a refund from telecharge. Had purchased tickets for my mother to a show in early December due to that being the only time she could make it.

Gentleman on the phone was very rude and stated to me a refund can only be issued if Ben was out with a sickness for a current show. Told me that a refund can't be issued in this case, I asked at that point to speak to a supervisor and he tells me there is no one who can speak to me.

I pressed and he eventually got me to someone. This person now says he is sorry for the other guy being rude and to put it in writing now to telecharge for a refund. We will see what happens. Will update later for people interested in refunds

I sure hope so. I just bought tickets today for Saturday September 30th at 8pm.

I've also got tickets for 9/30 @ 8:00 (got them a few months ago) - I'm flying in from Wisconsin for the weekend just to see the show, so fingers crossed he's on!

 

Since Yom Kippur ends before the Saturday night curtain, I'd feel pretty secure with seeing him the night of Sept 30. It's Friday night and Sat afternoon I'd be concerned with "

This could right, but if he's observing Yom Kippur by fasting (not only no food but no drink, either) from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday there's a strong chance he would not be in the show Saturday night. I might be wrong - and many Jews observe the day in different ways - but I certainly wouldn't be up to performing after wolfing down one meal after a 24-hour fast. I hope for the audience's sake I'm wrong.

I bought tickets on the night of The Tony Awards knowing that they had gone up, but I didn't care. I bought two tickets for Saturday, November 18th hoping that Ben didn't have his last show on the 12th (which I figured would be my luck). Apparently my gamble paid off. I don't have a flight or hotel or anything else (including anyone for the other ticket), but I have tickets to the show! I'm off work for the entire week of Thanksgiving (I'm a teacher) so I'm hoping to catch a few other shows on the trip!

There's no way those dates would not have been announced yet.
