Hi everyone,

Since BOM tickets seems to be sold out for forever and a day, I've started looking at third party sites,but I'm not completely sure which ones are legitimate. I've heard Stubhub has a pretty good reputation. I've also been recommended by a friend to check out theatermania.com. Can anyone confirm if this is a good site to use or not? Any other recommendations?

Thanks!

I've used Stubhub a couple of times and, though pricey got very good seats. Be very careful, you're going to spend an arm and a leg...why not just go for the Premium seats, or are they gone too?

I use Theatermania all the time. I am assuming you are not going to get anything any sooner on Theatermania than anywhere else. I say if you live in NY then go to the box office. At least you won't have to pay fees there. Just a suggestion. It isn't clear though when you want to see the show.

I second the suggestion of going to the box office

I looked for seats for the performance after the tonys and for weeks Telecharge was sold out, I went to the box office like 2 weeks before the show and got a $69 ticket that someone had cancelled,
I'd say go to the box office you might luck out with seats (and u save the Telecharge fees)

I third the box office...you never know.

My daughter and her friends got royally screwed on "Glee" concert tickets through a third party...she didn't specify which one. Ended up paying over $100 for nosebleed seats that were on the official site for less than $60.

You can always try for standing room. That's how I saw it. Was in line for a little over 3 hours but it was worth it. I got to see the hottest show on Broadway for 27 bucks.

I'm coming in from Wisconsin from July 31-August 3. If I get to the city with enough time on the 31, I'll try for that day; otherwise, August 2. Premium tickets are sold out, so that didn't work. If I go on the 31 and try for August 2, might I have a chance of lucking out and getting a ticket?

Also, I've never done the SRO option, so any details would be fantastic.

Thanks!
