That's crap. I tried to get tickets for this in early June but there was no rush then, I cried, it was a sad day. I want to try to see it before it closes but not if prices are going to be astronomical.

I start tech for a show I'm in over in Boston on BFO's last week and I am in rehearsals on weekdays right now so I have to see it on an upcoming Saturday or Sunday...I'm hoping for Sep 4th cheap seats but I doubt they'll be available this close to the show...

Telecharge doesn't do markups; they simply charge a set fee per ticket. The prices are what the theater/producers are charging. They're not the only show that sells premium tickets.

I can't blame them. People have been paying scalpers those prices all along, at least for some of the seats, and they know that tickets to the last show are in high demand.

Why should the scalpers (who have grabbed some of the best seats for some of the last performances) be the ones to get rich?

What other show closures , or shows where major stars were leaving the show, had charged premium prices for the last performance? Was that true when Nathan and Matthew left THE PRODUCERS and when Michael Crawford left PHANTOM OF THE OPERA? I guess in the case of THE BOY FROM OZ, it is because it is closing when the show is now selling out and has reached the million-dollar-sales-a-week club, and after of course Hugh Jackman swept all the awards of the past season.

Then you have a short memory, bronx. I distinctly remember the producers of The Producers doing the same thing. Unfortunately for them, they overstepped their bounds, charged too much, and didn't sell all their tickets. (I think the price was $1,000+ and included a post-show party with Broderick & Lane.)

That show is a pioneer of a lot of things, including charging $100 for most seats in the theater. So don't think that BFO has unusually greedy producers or anything. They're just trying to recoup before their time is up.

Remember you guys, I'm not like most of you. I'm only part-way in the BroadwayWorld instead of a resident like most of you. I have other lives on other message boards with nothing to do with theatre. I don't get ALL the news and follow every little detail closely. I did not know telecharged raised prices for THE PRODUCERS also. This really is the first time I've heard of it.

I've said it before, but I hope that any show that will charge that much for a ticket loses it's entire investment. I think it's disgusting the direction in which Broadway is heading. Hell, it's not even heading there anymore. It's there. No wonder people choose to just sit at home and watch a bootleg of a show for a few bucks. Yeah, there's no substitute for live theatre, but if they want to keep people going to live theatre they'd better rethink their strategies because they're losing people fast.

I think the show producers and Telecharge have just delivered a master stroke for the fans! By releasing tickets ( expectedly going to be limited because of demand from the show family itself) at such a date ( people were expecting them only on the last week) and with such timing ( while the Olympics opening was on most people's TVs)- they have caught the brokers unaware and the eBay sellers probably stuck with their inventory now ( until people clamor again for seats which will be sold out eventually). They have successfully undercut what's happening on eBay and with ticket brokers. I've just checked three major brokers' offerings for the last performance and all they've got at the moment were seats from Row R, of course at brokers' pricing. I have done much better than that re: Boy From Oz tickets for Sept 12 now available from Telecharge

Jo, before you get too excited about your seats for the 12th, I will assure you there will be prime seats coming up from the brokers shortly. They have just put in a little inventory just to get the ball rolling. You will be seeing first 10 center orchestra within the next week or so...they just want to see the show sell a little more before they can expect people to pay the prices they are planning on charging. This is coming right from their mouths so bank on it. It is a once in a lifetime event...I know there are orders out there into the thousands (yes thousands) for a front and center ticket for the 12th. Think about it, if you're coming from across the country or across the world as many people are, who cares what the ticket costs if it is the best? This will be the only time in our lives to do this...the sky will be the limit for upfront and center.

Bronxbound,

I am curious.... what else are you into? I am not trying to be funny or sarcastic at all !! I only ask, because as I type this, I am watching the Met game on TV, and listening to the Pittsburgh Steeler game on an internet radio feed. People that I know think its weird to be into sports and theater (dont know why....) My dad was the same way...

I am a theatre lover and a sports fan, too ( mainly Formula One racing - I have even gone to Monaco twice for the Grand Prix) and I think those are both healthy interests. I love the live atmosphere in both forms of entertainment ( sports becoming more so than just mere competition).
