If you're on the website, you can usually get those "invisible"' seats like that to show up by letting the site pick for you instead of choosing your seat from the map. You can also switch to the 3D view and those seats tend to show up. This also works for Row K of the mezz that sells for $135 on the 4 day rule but never seems to be visible via the web.

How would they know if you have a revenue stream?

@CT2NYC, you are amazing at finding tickets! I didn't realize there might be tickets available only on the app/mobile site, so thanks for the info. My flight on Sunday back to the West Coast doesn't enable me to go on Sunday, but thank you for posting the premium and non-premium seats you find! I will keep watching for your comments.

A LOT of non-premium seats have been released on Telecharge for ALL of Ben's performances from 11/3-11/12. Get 'em while they're hot!

We'd like to go Saturday night or Sunday matinee, need 2 tickets, and would like to be close to the front of the line."
"close to the front" is not a number
I want to be the first in line for Saturday evening. When should I arrive?

Any idea why? Is it possible this means Ben is out those dates?
Posted: 9/21/17 at 9:49pm
Also the ones I'm seeing are $199... that's still premium pricing, no?

No, that’s regular pricing. No idea why they’re available. Rachel Bay Jones will be out on those dates, but Ben will be there, barring some disaster.

Some singles seats still available for most of these dates.

Please forgive me if this is a redundant question, but are your chances of purchasing tickets at the box office for future dates (as in not for that same night) the same or better than purchasing online from telecharge or stubhub?
Posted: 9/21/17 at 10:56pm
Do you have to show a credit card when you pick up tickets from the box office, or will a photo ID suffice? In a frenzy I bought one of the tickets that @CT2NYC posted about, and I'm realizing I probably won't have the credit card I used with me when I see the show.

Thanks for the heads up about those tickets! Also, do you know what date Rachel Bay Jones is back?

She’ll be on a Playbill cruise in Europe through 11/13, so, hopefully, she'll hurry back to NYC for Ben's last week, starting on 11/14.

Nice seat sightings! If you see any good seats for October 6 or October 10, I would love to grab one!

UPDATE: All of these non-premium seats are sold. There's still 1 $425 premium ticket for Sunday, 11/12. Hopefully, my alert helped you guys get some!

I know that this isn't the same, but I was across the street at Come From Away, and arrived around 7:45 AM and there were 3 people in line at DEH, the people ahead of me in line said they had been there a while -- the same people were still waiting at 6:45 PM. It is a long day of waiting!

Then get in line 10PM the night before ... good luck.

Are there normally at least like one or two cancellation line tickets per show? Like if someone was first in line for cancellation is it almost guaranteed to get a ticket or are there more instances than not of no cancellation tickets being given out?

I haven't heard of a #1 never being offered something but that doesn't mean it couldn't have been separate partial-view separate single seats.

Saturday 9/24 8:00 p.m. - Right orchestra seat F 8 $450

They have only ever asked for my credit card once, and that's because they had to pull the tickets up to print them. All the other times, they have only just asked for my name.

Back in the spring, the box office mysteriously stopped selling all seats from these dates for 2-3 weeks (hence why a few of us thought Ben's last day was Nov 12th.) Thereafter mezz seats were released but orch was still not available. Looks like they're slowly releasing them now. Someone on here said that perhaps Ben extended for a week to the 19th after being out for a week to film Will & Grace.

After some thought, this is the conclusion I came to, as well. Additionally, they didn't announce Rachel Bay Jones' participation in the Playbill cruise from 11/3-11/13 until the day before the announcement of Ben's last day as 11/19. This also leads me to believe that his original departure date was 11/12, so she wouldn't have been available for the cruise, as it would have conflicted with Ben's last week. Actually, in retrospect, the Rachel cruise announcement was pretty solid evidence that Ben's last day wasn't going to be the 12th.

Hi all, longtime lurker here. I'm going to be in NY from 9/28-10/02 and I'm trying to catch Ben on either the Friday or Saturday night. Any ideas what my best bet is to get a single or pair or tickets? This is my one chance to see the shoe and I really don't want to miss it!
