Thank you for all the tips on this board. I just scored 3 tickets for this Saturday's matinee. Orchestra sides row L (two together) and orchestra side O. Thank you, thank you, thank you! My teen-age daughters will be pumped!

I just scored 3 tickets for this Saturday's matinee. I was searching for 1 and quickly nabbed it (thanks to all the tips on this board) and then two others appeared right after I completed that transaction. My teen-age daughters will be pumped! Thank you to everyone -- would not have been possible without all the shared knowledge!

Yes, just saw some singles for Saturday night, but they were gone in a flash.

Just call me "The Telecharge Whisperer." Seriously, though, it's all about timing. I've been really fortunate, though, and, as a result, I've been able to help a lot of people, both friends and strangers, get tickets to this show. So, I'm gonna keep searching and posting!

Mezzanine J 114 is an awesome seat, center, on the aisle, and is, at $169, a great deal!

when you search on telecharge do you search for single seats even thought you want 2 tickets? then how do you get two if you have the computer pick seats for you? or do you pick your own seats? do you only look for date 4 days out or a range of dates? I feel like I must be doing something wrong since I search constantly and have never had any success. thanks for any tips.

I waited in the cancellation line today from 11:30am-7pm and they gave the last 2 tickets to the person in front of me. 
at like 6:57pm. It was sooo disappointing. In total they gave out 9 tickets all regular price. 1 single obstructed view at $159 and 4 pairs at $199. Another couple in front of us had a person sell them theirs at face value. I was technically 7th in line and a few of the folks ahead of me wanted only 1. The time in the line was great. The group of us all looked out for each other’s things to go to the bathroom etc. we friended each other on Facebook etc. At least I have that. I also saw Ron Livingston (of Office Space) so that was a treat. I needed to get there earlier but had work in the morn. The security guys did tell us Tues, Wed, Thurs seems to be a little better in getting tix than the weekend.
Gonna stick to trying to getting a ticket on telecharge now. Let me know if you see any!!

My first recommendation is to use the app, not the full website on the computer. The app is faster, and it's much easier to do search after search on it. There is no option to pick your own seats on there, and I only search for the day that's 4 days away. Today, for instance, I only searched for Saturday at 8 p.m. I usually search for 1 ticket, then, if 1 shows up, I'll select "Modify Search," then go back and search for 2. I do this so that I know when seats have been released, instead of looking for 2 seats, which may or may not be available on any given day. Another good thing about the app is that, often, you can search over and over again without entering a new CAPTCHA each time. If it says that no tickets are available, just hit "Change Parts of My Order," which will bring you back to the search page. Your original information will still be there, so just hit "Search" again, and it will take you back to the screen where you first entered the code. More often than not, the box to enter the code will be gone, and you can just hit "Search" again. This is the method I've used just about every time that I've found tickets.

I wonder if you guys can offer any help. I am visiting NY from the UK the last week in November, would absolutely love to see this show if I can. I know probably not going to have much luck, but just wondered if you guys had any tips for me in being able to locate a ticket. I have left most of my show days free currently (just booked Dolly so far) to try and see if I can get something. I could go Saturday 25th November matinee, Tuesday 28th November and either shows on Wednesday 29th November.
Thanks so much for any advice "
Aside from the last-minute options outlined in this thread, have you considered a ticket reseller? Normally, I wouldn't recommend them, but, in this case, they might be a good option. Tickets for after Ben Platt leaves are plentiful, and the prices are somewhat reasonable. StubHub is completely legitimate, as is TickPick, which is basically StubHub without any fees. If you're thinking about going that route, I'd be happy to research what's available on there.

Hi there,
Thank you! I'm more than happy to go the reseller route, if you wouldn't mind researching that would be perfect.
Thank you again, very kind!

You're looking for 1 ticket, correct?
Posted: 10/18/17 at 12:34pm
Yes just the 1, thank you

Thanks for all the tips! You seem pretty experienced with this - I'm wondering if you've ever seen tickets come in closer than 4 days. For the show I'm targeting I've been trying since 5 days out and have had no luck yet and I'm wondering if it's still worth it to try less than 4 days out.

There have been rare instances where I've seen as close as 3 days, but that's it for the regularly-priced seats. I believe premium and mid-premium seats can pop up even closer to the show, but I don't usually search for those, so I can't confirm how often that happens.

If any of y'all see tickets for Sunday the 22nd and aren't grabbing them for yourselves, I would be so appreciative if you'd let me know! I'm all over the site as much as I can be, but I'm a librarian and occasionally I gotta get up and help the people print or something
