Talking Broadway Yields only SRO "if" the show sells out:

Playbill doesn't even mention it:

Broadway Box doesn't go cheaper than $70:

And it seems I missed it on TDF and it's not coming back!
Anybody know of any other cheap ways to see Sweeney? Or should I just buy the $36.25 back row seats? (Likely)

I got the 36.25 seats for last night's performance and the seats seem to be pretty good. However at 7:45 the ushers invited everyone in the back row to move forward and basically sit anywhere within the rear mezzanine. From row F I could see fine and I think the same would be true of row J.

Exactly the advice I'm looking for; thanks. :)

I saw it at TKTS on Monday night. Thought about going...but didn't for some reason. You think it wont be back up there?

As the rear mezzanine was essentially empty last night I would think it will still be on TKTS for now. They just may not put it back on TDF and every time it's been on there the tickets have disappeared within the hour

Check out the link below for more on TDF. If you qualify, live in New York, and like to see everything, it is a very good deal.

I just saw Sweeney Todd today and got my tickets from TDF. It's a good deal. I sat in the front Mezzanine.
