Book of Mormon completely SOLD OUT through August 17th. — Page 2

If you do SRO and get the opportunity, request spot numbers 108 or 109. That's where I was, and it was literally dead center (I was in line with the conductor). They tried to put me extreme side at first, but I asked for more center, and they gave it to me.

If I want to do the lotto, what time should I get there? I know it says 2.5 hours early, but I didn't know if I should arrive there earlier just in case?

I just logged onto telecharge.com, and 2 seats came up for tonight in the back Orchestra.

It's not completely sold out. There are several single seats available for most shows. I can't buy my ticket for July till Tuesday, but I've been checking availability every day.

^ how's the view from the back of the mezz?

I have no clue whatsoever how my mom and I managed to score tickets two days before we saw the show.

I've never been so addicted to a single show! My total song collective on my iPod is over 7000 because I just don't stop listening to it!! I would do so much in this world to go back to NY and see it again. I absolutely LOVED Andrew Rannells <3

I think the answer to both of your questions is: Early.

I tried the lotto all weekend with friends, and people were lined up for the standing room seats long before the lotto had started.

I would pay that price for a seat, coming from Australia I would rather have a confirmed seat than try my luck with SRO.

The thing I find interesting is Opera companies have been charging these type of prices for years, the ring cycle in San Fran a fee years ago was over 1500 for the four operas!

Saw the show tonight by SRO...so funny!!! Loved it!
But anyways...SRO didn't seem toooo bad today. Tried matinee lotto--didn't win of course! But probably could have done SRO for that show if we had been smart and got in standing room line right when we got there for lotto at 11:30. Cause we did get in line for a brief second after we lost the lotto and were people number 29 and 30. We knew we wouldn't get it being those numbers so we left but a lot of people jumped in the SRO line right after the lotto too and a think some of them probably got tickets. Although the first people in line got there at 6am!!! :0 CRAZY!!!
Anyways we came back at 3:40 for the evening SRO line. We were 15 and 16 in line. So that was no problem. We probably could have gotten there as late as 5:00 and still got tickets.

Can you count your advance sales toward your recoupment? For some reason, I thought not. I'm trying to remember how long it took "The Producers" and "Hairspray" to announce recoupment. I would imagine it will be around the same time as they did.

You're right, AEA. When a ticket is purchased, Telecharge (or Ticketmaster) holds that money in escrow. Once the performance takes place, all the money for every ticket sold for that date is transferred to the production. So even though Book of Mormon may have a large advance, they don't get to do anything with it until they hold up their end of the bargain (putting on the show).

Even though telecharge hold on to the money, which incidentally I didn't know, I guess if the tickets are selling very well, they will go to the producers and ask for more tickets, this in itself will be a good indication how well the show is doing.

I am going to New York the first week of August. I was originally planning to go the alst week of July, but Book of Mormon was sold out. Yesterday I looked online and they had a seat for Friday night. I went online to buy it today and it gone, and the whole week is sold out. I am going to keep checking telecharge. Do tickets sometimes open up? Also do people sell tickets outside the theatre? I know there have been scalping problems with the tickets, but if they do sell legitimate tickets how much are they usually for. I am so bummed this is sold out, and I really hope I can somehow get a ticket. This was my must see show! Any advice is greatly appreciated.
