Make friends with the people next to you so they'll hold your spot while you run to the restroom or get food and whatnot! The Mariott next door always has restrooms open, and they also have a kiosk that rents out fully charged portable batteries if your phone dies. I'd say it's probably not necessary to get there at 8 AM, but then again it's a good way to ensure you get a seat! If you want to get food I'd suggest the pizza across the street from the Richard Rodgers, it's always pretty good.

Wednesday, my friend and I got in line at 3:45 and by 6:30 we had tickets. Row D center. I really think it just depends on the day! We were only like third in line too. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Even though Ben wasn't there, Michael Lee Brown was absolutely incredible!!!

I've been skimming through this thread but there's so much info so hoping someone can help me out! I'm desperate to see DEH and want to fly into NYC to see it. What are my options for getting tickets when it's sold out? And does anyone know how long Ben Platt will remain in the show? Thank you!!!

PROBABLY until mid'ish November 2017

It does - under the Find Tickets tab, you can look for a range of dates under Step # 2 - now until whatever end date you want.

Was just a single mezz ticket for Ben's first show back on 8/17 available...

On the mobile site and the app, you have to keep changing the date. On the full site, there's an option to search a specific date or a range of dates."

Weird, when I looked before I didn't see any option for all dates but I must have missed it. I'll check again when I'm on my laptop!

What are the reasons tickets suddenly become available? I thought once they're sold they're non refundable?

Well, if I were going now, I would obviously want to see Ben... so it's hard to say whether it means anything yet. If Ben is an option now, most people want to take that option... I mean, right now, when I see Hello Dolly, I want to see Bette. After January, it doesn't mean I won't go again, but if Bette calls out sick, I would get a refund. Same here, if he's still in the cast, that is the version most people want to see.

Is it guaranteed he is leaving by Nov 24th? And is he going to be in every show until then, besides this week and barring any unforseen circumstance/sickness? If I'm going to plan a whole (expensive) trip into NYC to see the show I really want to see it with Ben :)

ben's final date is not confirmed yet. we know it will be sometime in november. if you are planning a trip specifically to see ben, go in october or early november to play it safe.

How does one *start* a cancellation line? If by some miracle you show up first, how do you "do the thing right"? :)

There are like 7 orchestra seats open for 8/18 if anyone is looking for tickets!!! Pricey but they're there if you're desperate.

Ben will leave on November 19th.

I will be in town for the first week of October. Will it be much harder to get tix? what are my chances via the Telecharge thing? Stubhub will be even more expensive, right?

Not sure about DEH specifically, but most cancellation lines, you pay the face value of the ticket that is available. And there is no guarantee how many tickets they will have. Between the two, StubHub is a much better option.
