Posted: 4/22/07 at 5:55pmI'd agree - See tickets is the best - lower booking fees than ticket master...

I enjoy TicketMaster for the customer service aspect. I only ever had one problem with them, and they resolved it within two hours of my "I have a problem!" email. ^_^ LastMinute.com has proved an absolute winner for me at times. Front row centre at 'Bent' for a tenner! Second row of stalls at 'Cabaret' for half-price! If you can't find a discount and you're booking for a Delfont Mackintosh show, I looooove using their website (delfont-mackintosh.com). Whatever you do, do NOT use Theatre.com. Shocking service charges at times! I wish I could remember who my Mum booked our LOTR tickets through, because they charged a disgusting amount for the privilege of selling us tickets too...

Posted: 4/23/07 at 5:56amIf it's a show in a Delfont Mackintosh house (GIELGUD, NOEL COWARD, NOVELLO, PRINCE EDWARD, PRINCE OF WALES, QUEEN'S or WYNDHAM'S), use their website as the selection of seats is generally better. Otherwise, I add my voice to the praise for 'See'...

I like SEE too. The only problem I have had with them, however, is that they don't offer an option online to pick up the tickets at the box office. If you want this option, you have to e-mail Customer Service AFTER you place the order.
I have to agree with Eastwickian, though, about Delfont. When I was looking into a ticket for EQUUS for a Friday night in March, See could only offer me Row P; on a whim I checked Delfont, and got row E! Same with Mary Poppins when I saw that on April 13. Row E, right in the center.
