Is this site legit?

I spent $136.00 on a seat there listing for $95, which is a little annoying but I get the assurance of a real site, telecharge.

Many scalper sites sell the exact same tickets (there must be a common database somewhere) and most add an outrageous service charge of 20% percent like this one.

Are there any Orc or Front mezz seats for $45 or $60?
Can I buy these discounts at the box office?

Yes, coolkid. Just print out this thread and take it to the theater.

Coolkid, go to the site and look. No you cant use it at the box office because this site isn't related to the show.

Never buy from these scalper sites where they charge astronomical service fees. I'd rather spend more money and get it from a reputable site like Ticketmaster or Telecharge, where at least I know the price of the ticket is going to the show and the service fees aren't as bad.

Plus, as Wanna Be a Foster said, doesn't billynj run the site or something? Or somehow affiliated?

Wow, I am on their email list i go to more concerts than theater, and they send out an email blast for discounted tickets.They got me Madonna tickets for $40.00 less per ticket than the printed price Monday.The service charge seems to vary by event, but even with the 10% service fee on my Madonna tickets they were cheaper than ticketmaster.

Subtotal: $172.00

I would rather sit upstairs in a full view seat for $55 each than pay $133.0 per ticket partial view seating ... FOR SHOW IN PREVIEWS .....

The theater has real nerve to charge $133 per ticket for a show they are still working on

PS Madonna was great ....

Yeah, billynj is definitely a shill or is affiliated with the site. Thanks for the proof.
