I had my laptop, iPad, phone, and my wife on her phone. We started right at 10. Sounds like the phone is the way to go. Ended up with center Orch Row M for May 12th.

Glad to hear someone mention Row M is a good seat!

the problem with Whoopi is she can't sing & really isn't a well know Broadway actress. So I doubt it's her.

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.

She is really not a great singer at all, but she managed to wrap her limited range around "Here Within These Walls" from Sister Act, what she managed here is probably enough to get her through Dolly's music.

Kept getting the same error message as everyone else. Ended up getting through on the phone at about 11:30 and got 4 orchestra seats center, row O. My telecharge websites aren't working at all anymore. It says "This website cannot be reached. Try checking the connection [which is fine] and the proxy and the firewall [don't even know what this means]." Anyone else having this issue.

Best to call. It took less than 10 minutes. Got 8th row center orchestra for Saturday, June 10 at 8. As for the price... don't ask. If I'm hurting for money come next May or June, they're going up for sale.

ETA: Yes, DramaTeach. Having the same problem since about 11 this morning. Can't access the Telecharge site at all. I've tried multiple browsers and phone app. Yet, when I asked the sales rep, he said the site hadn't crash and wasn't down. Just a lot of traffic. Yeah... right.

I got the tickets over the phone, but now all Telecharge sites, including Linctix won't work, and I don't know how to fix it.

The missing Tuesday shows are believed to belong to the alternate. They likely won't go on sale until she's announced.

Several dates I had been looking at had a disclaimer: "Premium seats are not available in this performance." I thought this was strange, thinking they'd want to make extra $$ at all shows. Any ideas why this might be the case?

I still contend that they released a very limited number of tickets for each performance. In the coming weeks and months, there will be plenty of tickets available, both regular and premium priced. They're holding back on a slew of tickets.

Any minute now, I'm expecting Bette to tweet that she crashed the ticket site.

Is this a limited run with Bette? I thought I read it somewhere but I cannot find it now.

It's not being advertised as a limited run. I can't imagine that she would have signed on for less than a year. But whether or not she'll be able to hang in there that long is a whole other story. I give her six months, tops.

I think the problem is that you can't choose your own seat (relatively) from a seating chart but they only offer you a few seats at different price like what they do with customers purchasing tickets through smart phones. That also means all those seats you see on the seating chart are reserved for you and on one else can buy any of them while you are making a purchase.

Strangely, I had no trouble, used telecharge around 1:30 CDT and got 3 tickets in the mezzanine right away. No one was more shocked than I. (me?)

Did Hello Dolly just become the new Hamilton??? Holy - was out today and just got home - logged in and all the shows for the week I'm there are all sold out??? Lucky I got a single ticket - can't wait!

Just wasn't expecting that!

I wish there was a way to see how they are going to do the stage and proscenium. From what I've learned and seen in photos, the Gower Champion choreography includes a runway out into the audience. I can't tell from the seating chart how they are moving/removing seats. We got pretty good seats, so I'm very excited. We also decided to grab some seats on Memorial Day weekend. I think this is going to be a lot more pricey after the official opening, ( just like "Hamilton" Even though "Hamilton" is a great show, and LMM is very aware of what's going, at least he has a program for children. But, sadly, with ticket prices so volatile, "Hamilton" has created a monster.

Agree! Did anyone end up getting row a or b? We splurged on the premium seats and got row c. On the website this shows as the 4th row but on the mobile site c is front row. Curious what the show set up will be.

Click on the Hello Dolly seating chart on Telecharge. Then click center orch, left, right etc... and you can see there aren't any gaps in the seating. I assume the seats on the chart are up for sale or they wouldn't be listed.

After trying online all day, I still haven't been able to get tickets. I was on hold with Telecharge for over a half hour, gave up, tried online again and it still didn't work. How annoying.

I now know how Diana Goodman felt through the entirety of Next to Normal. :P

How are the deep sides at the Shubert? I am in row C, three seats in from the outer aisle.

There are a lot of seats left for several performances I've been looking at but they're not showing me them all at once. They're only showing me 4 at a time (sold in pairs of 2) and I keep having to click "show me other seats on this date" and then it shows me 2 more pairs somewhere else in the theatre. Frustrating they aren't just showing me everything that's left but maybe it;s their way of controlling scalpers.

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. "

Thanks, that's very helpful information! Since Telecharge appears to be down more than up today, I wonder if you have the exact dates that she will not be playing in July?

I finally managed to get in. Looks like Midler will be on vacation June 26 through July 11.

I had had no trouble getting tickets for two dates, so plenty must still be left.

Anyone know why tickets aren't on sale from June 28-July 9? Is it a planned vacation for Bette??
