Broadway Flea Market 2015 Celebrity Photo Booth/Autograph Table! — Page 3

Prices definitely vary. If you see something early in the day & it's the only one, grab it if you really want it. Because there is a big chance it won't be there later. If there are a lot of some items, you may be able to wait. I got a cast autographed invitation from Cinderella for $5 at one later in the day. But, they had a pile of them. On the otherhand, I got some big items while passing through later in the day because whoever had them were just interested in getting rid of them. You also may be able to get small items for free or practically free that way too.

Thank you so much Diva!

It wasn't listed on last years map, but I'm hoping to get some things from Lincoln Center shows. Would they be likely to have a booth? What about closed shows from several seasons ago? How do you find merch from shows that are no longer running and therefore don't have their own booths?

Interestingly enough, Newsies is having a table again. They had one last year (after it just closed) and they were 2nd, IIRC, on amount of money earned. I wonder if they'll do that good again this year...

Does anyone know if there will be a map of the tables released beforehand?

Wow, I had to go back three pages to respond to this thread. The Flea Market is this weekend,but it doesn't seem to have the eager anticipation among "Broadwayworlders" like in previous years. I went last year for the first time and almost made plans for this year. I decided against it and for me was the right decision. It may have been a weekend of disappointments for me. (The Hamilton matinee on Sunday would have had the understudy, Kelsey would not have returned to Netherland, a student rush for Fool For Love which I don't qualify and Old Times may have been something i wouldn't have enjoyed. Furthermore, I'm not that excited about the autograph booth this year.) However, I am still excited to read about everybody's day. Who they met and their great finds. So good luck for great weather and report back as soon as able. Have fun.

They may move it to the following Sunday then. (If you mean Monday is a better day for the Flea Market, it's not...because most of the people doing the buying are at work.)

They have had it when there are occasional showers. They held it indoors one year. (I doubt they have that option now.) Whatever happens, happens. I think the worst case scenario is that they have it 10/4 instead.

We don't know if they may be looking at other places. Since it's such a big moneymaker, I don't think they'll cancel it entirely. Right now, it's still only Tuesday, and the forecast can also change. "Showers" is what comes up, which can mean occasional showers.

Postponing a week isn't ideal either. The thing is, they already had to get permission to close down 44th street for Sunday. Plus some of the people for the autograph tables may not be able to make it. I know there is always a chance at last minute changes. But, those are probably easier to deal with than changing an entire date. We'll just have to see what happens.

Wasn't there a threat of rain a couple years ago too, and that was also what they said? I seem to remember it ended up drizzling in the morning or the night before, but not during.

Weather forecast is back to a 10% chance of rain. Oddly, I only saw the rain forecast on weather.com and my weather kitty app. Weather.gov never was anything but sunny.

How strategic does one have to be at the Flea Market, anyway? Are you following someone? In a windowless van?
