Awesome! You can't tell from the seating chart, but that seat juts out beyond all the rows in front of it, so you're basically looking straight down the aisle, with no obstructions. It's a great view. Enjoy!

I thought it was becoming more infrequent, but it's been every day this week, so who knows? Also, recently, they've released not just $199 orchestra seats, but great $135 and $169 mezzanine seats, as well. Take a look at my release schedule above.

I haven't noticed a solid pattern, but they've definitely been releasing last-minute tickets, sometimes as late the day before, and, in the case of this past Friday, the day of. If these seats are wheelchair companion, transfer arm, and transfer arm companion seats, I'm thinking they might hold them longer because of Dolly!'s older demographic.

Also, what are wheelchair companion seats?

Thanks!!!

From what I've seen over the past few months, generally, tickets have been released in the afternoon, between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. Of course, this isn't definitive, but a pretty good estimation. When someone buys a wheelchair or transfer arm (aisle seat with an armrest that lifts up) seat, there are seats set aside for people that accompany them. As it gets closer to the date of the performance, any of these seats that remain unsold are released for purchase by anyone.

This thread is great. I just sold my Oct 7 ticket (gotten by the tip off in this thread) to my friend who has been dying to see this show. He was so happy. Maybe we should change the title of this thread to "DEH tickets -- You Will Be Found?"

CT2NYC: That makes sense. Thank you. One more question since you see to know these things. How do these shows get cancellations? They make such a big deal about no refunds or cancelations when you buy the tickets.. How does it happen?

That's a good question, and one for which I don't had a good answer. From what I've gathered, though, it seems like they will do a refund if they're certain that they'll be able to resell the ticket, which is a safe assumption with shows like DEH and Dolly! Maybe someone else can add some insight on this?



Maybe they are released house seats or seats guaranteed for the creators that are released at certain times? But those seats would all be prime locations. And with these shows cancelations always tend to be the odd row R on the extreme side.

Yes, Ivy, I love it! I'm sure you've seen the unnecessary negativity on other threads hurled at people asking about getting DEH tickets for under $200. It's my goal to show that it's entirely possible, and, in the process, prove the naysayers wrong.

This thread has given me hope that I'll be able to see DEH lol. I'm seeing some fantastic shows during my visit but being able to see DEH would be the cherry on top.

This morning I was searching and happened to get front [but side] orchestra for the Wednesday Matinee for this week. It may average 4 or 5 days and in the afternoon, but they do seem to occasionally have seats appear almost at random.

Got two tickets for Friday thanks to all your advice!

There's a non premium seat for this Saturday's Hello Dolly! (7/22) on telecharge right now. Orchestra S23.

I only saw matinee seats. Too bad I'm going to Waitress this Saturday. Oh well.

It's great to see them releasing those mezzanine seats. They've all been great choices.
