Yesterday I bought 4 tickets to "Hair" for this Sunday through Broadwaybox.com using their discount codes. I chose email delivery option. The confirmation email came right away, but as of now no tickets yet and I am getting nervous. How long does it take for them to send out e-tickets ?

Ugh... I just hope I get them before Sunday....

I just did this the other day as well and it took 3 days to get my tickets for me as well. Don't worry, they'll come :)

You'll get them before the show. Worse comes to worse you can call telecharge on Sunday and say "I order tickets but never received the email". They'll verify your purchase using your order number or phone. Then they'll have the tickets available at the box office for you.

I once had a friend forget her ticket and realize it once we were enroute and that's exactly what they did for us.

I don't trust myself when it comes to tickets and holding on to them before the show. That is always why I have them kept at the box office for me. Even if I go to the box office to buy the tickets for the show in advance they can still hold them for me there without at problem.

Most of the time when I am buying online I am using my parent's credit card and just paying them back and I just change the name of the order so I don't need their card to pick them up.

However, I don't understand why it would take telecharge 3 days just to send you e tickets while it would take someone like Ticketmaster no time at all in doing that. I also have trouble understanding some of the service fees that telecharge tacks on like charging you four bucks to change the name of the order.

See, that still doesn't persuade me in terms of why they charge four bucks for changing the name on the credit card. When being done on ticketmaster I was able to call in and say that I was using my dad's credit card and the name needed to be changed to mine and they do it without a problem. I am guessing that for me personally there isn't much of a head scratching going on since my father and I both have the same last name.

Meaning?

That's not the case at all. What I am saying is that I don't see the need to charge for something like that. I can see them calling you and asking for some sort of conformation or something like that. But, to have them charge you just to print a different name on the ticket when they would be doing it anyways seems like another excuse for another pointless service charge. And, I am not trying to be pro ticketmaster or pro telecharge. I feel that both of them are at fault for having service charges that are not needed at all.

Anytime you need to engage a human being requires a fee. Cant' you fix that as you are making the order? (I thought I remembered seeing that as an option....but I could be wrong.)

The real kicker with telecharge and ticketmaster is that they are the only game in town. If you don't live in the city to visit the box office, you are at their mercy. The fees in general are riduculous. It's not as if they don't make money on the sale of the ticket alone.
