Book of Mormom selling well already?

I'm not sure how much of a sign this is because obviously discounted seats are more limited, but I just bought $69 Broadway Box discounted seats for Book of Mormon.

Tried for March 4th, March 5th matinee, and March 3rd as a last option. March 4th and 5th had no discounted seats left, and the best 3 tickets together for March 3rd with the Broadway Box discount are in row F of the mezzanine.

Anyone figure how much it would make in a week if it sold out every performance?

If it went consistently like the four performances this week, wouldn't it be more around 900k?

Just looking at the grosses and doing some simple math will give you a potential weekly gross of $1,019,466 (this week's potential gross of $509,733 divided by 4 performances and then multiplied by

HBP, I had those seats last night. It's a great view of everything onstage.

"but I guess it wasn't completely sold-out as the guy in the box office said SRO wasn't being offered."

That doesn't mean anything. In fact, I'm quite surprised that they are offering standing while in previews. With members of the creative team, production staff and producers most likely roaming around, they usually need the standing room area for them. It's quite possible that they needed the area. Just saying.

Just curious as I've already bought my tickets to see it (coming to NY in June so bought to ensure good seats), but how do you get such cheap tickets? I paid just under $300 for 2 tickets....which is regular cost.

There are plenty of outlets for cheaper tix. Broadwaybox.com is my favorite

I like nytix.com better. Their codes always seem to last longer. It's worth the annual fee IMO

mmFan, the discount sites like Broadwaybox generally don't have discounts that far out. The discounts on new Broadway shows are generally for the few weeks of previews and possibly the first few weeks of the run, but seldom for more 6 or 7 weeks total for a new show. (The exception, of course, being Spiderman, which has never ending previews that may continue on until the second coming without ever a formal opening.) When you want to lock in your trip a few months out, particularly for new shows, you're almost always stuck paying full price. Those of us who live here have more flexibility, and the theaters entertain us not just with their productions, but with this ongoing game about how to get the best seats at the cheapest price. Should I do Broadwaybox, or will it show up at tdf it? Will the tdf seats be great (some times) or awful (other times)? Should I wait and do same day rush? How good are the rush seats? How early do I have to get there? Or, should I try to hit the jackpot and wait for it to show up on one of my comp ticket memberships? Ah, for want of the peace of mind of living in Kansas City or Atlanta and preplanning a trip, where one doesn't have to run the gauntlet every week of the cheap ticket obstacle course every week.

rgdave, I'll second Steve2's comments. Thanks for your thoughtful words and taking the time to explain. If you can't get tickets that far out, then I also prefer to have my seats booked and waiting for a planned trip. Haven't been to NY in 3 years and am sooo looking forweard to it...esp theatre. And I consider myself a "theatre snob" where I like to seat close and have great seats.

They are selling really well, but with the discount code from BroadwayBox I got a nice Balcony seat for $45. The lotto is usually crazy so if you like to be on the safe side like me it's a good way to go.

For those of you who have seen it, do you think it's good/no difference to see it now as opposed to waiting till it opens? The word of mouth is so strong that I don't see it changing by opening like some other shows do, but I could be wrong. let me know!
