It took a few attempts but finally got best seats for the sat 29 August evening show! I got really worried no tickets would ever show up and those Hamilton bots had got everything but suddenly some seats appeared. This is gonna be sold out in a matter of minutes.

Bette will only be doing 7 (sometimes 6) shows a week - depending on the week. They are not currently putting any performances for sale in which she will not be performing. You'll also notice a chunk of missing dates in July that aren't for sale, as she's planning a vacation. The other dates will go on sale once her (very exciting) alternate finishes contract negotiations.

I'm having trouble with the website, but not the mobile. The website was telling me there are "no open ticketing sessions." But I got two center mezz seats for Friday, 3/24.

The website is currently only showing "website recommended seats" so if you do a target search for mezzanine or balcony those seats will show up, just FYI.

Ended up with Row N for Saturday night, April 1.
Not ideal but whatever, I got pissy and just bought whatever that wasn't a premium seat.
Nothing whatsoever was showing in the Mezzanine which I don't believe - I may call Telecharge later to see if I can exchange them if their inventory is showing differently.

Was able to get 2 balcony for Friday June 9th! The website never worked for me, i had to go through the mobile site and let it pick seats for me FYI, pricier than what I wanted but at least I can go on with the rest of my day :)

You couldn't pick your own seats on the web, either. Just gave you 4 pre-selected choices. The entire front orchestra, and first four seats of the side orchestra, until row M or N didn't seem to be on sale in any large way, Just a scattered premium here or there.

Is Row S really bad in this theater in the orchestra center?
#460Hello Dolly... no Bette on Tuesdays!

Ended up with row M, center, two off the aisle (which I assume will be premium later) for June 10.

Kad is correct, the mobile is the way to go...
It's much faster and gives you more seating options

Managed to get a premium seat for the day after opening! (Friday night). Got a really poor seat side orchestra (Row O) for a preview on a Saturday night too.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

So Tuesdays are guaranteed to have her alternate & possibly another day(Saturday matinees?).
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

It took 20 minutes (no session available messages) but I finally got in. For Friday 5/12, there were only 2 pairs available in orchestra. Grabbed 2 on the aisle (O 1,3) for $250 - ouch.

This was very frustrating, eventually got Row C Orchestra for a Saturday in April at non-premium prices. Very limited seats were showing for any of the dates I looked for even if I selected premium seats. I am wondering if they are holding back a ton of seats or this is selling out already.

When can tickets be purchased at the Shubert box office?
