I'm kicking myself SO HARD for being away from my email for 30 minutes and missing your post to get 11/19 tickets 
I can't believe it. BUUUUUT thankfully I was able to get 2 tickets for my husband and I for 11/18!!!!! I am so excited! I'm out of town and didn't think I had any chance to get back to see the show again for Ben's final week but now we will! THANK YOU SO MUCH CT2NYC!!!
That being said, I glitched out and accidentally bought 3 tickets for 11/18 and don't need one of them -- Mezz Row B, Seat 26. My husband sat in this same seat in August and he hardly missed anything, just a couple entrances and exits. I will sell it face value plus fees (what I paid, $173) to anyone on this thread who needs it, but since I have to pick them up at at the box office you'll need to meet me there that day! :) Hit me up if you want it! Otherwise, I'll sell it to someone in the cancellation line that day, I'm sure there will be plenty of people waiting.

With all my glitching, I did wind up with a spare ticket on October 31 (a few rows from the back of the orchestra way on the side). If anyone here wants it and can meet at the theater to get it, I'll let it go at cost, $213). Otherwise one of the line people will be in luck.

I am literally like!!!!! now, thanks so much for this heads up I ended up getting a wednesday night ticket (my day off from work! so convenient lol) front row, not the sunday but it would've been a pain to get it off anyway lol. Oof, I am.... so much right now. You've been getting it a lot but truly thanks for keeping us all updated whenever these come up, I'm so glad you'll be getting to see the show on Ben's last day, a worthy reward for your great service to all the DEH fans on this board.

Aren't a lot of those seats usually set aside for lottery? It's strange that they would release them now, especially since they appear to start specifically that week.
Posted: 10/27/17 at 8:35pm
They probably stopped releasing them through the lottery because they knew if they sell them face value they would make more money knowing people would be willing to buy them.

Even if their reason was purely financial, I'm going to pretend they did it because they knew I would see it, and they wanted the seats to go to the fans who follow this thread!

I'm sad I missed this but I have tickets to his last show anyways (I got them on stub hub right before they jumped in price!) so I'll see y'all there from row M on the orchestra side!

Dammit I was at work when all these seats got released and I didn't get to this. I'll just be happy that I have tickets to see Ben this upcoming Friday a second time.
It's funny - I have bought 5 total tickets for DEH but ended up giving all but 2 tickets to friends who were dying to see the show.

Yeah, they're available for all shows going forward. Looks like the left and right side seats in row A are still reserved for the lottery, though.

The last seat on Row B Orchestra Left basically looks directly at a wall. $170 feels steep for that.
Anyway, this is a long shot, but I have a ticket for Saturday November 11 8 PM and would really prefer to go Sunday November 12 instead. It's just a single ticket, but if anyone is looking to swap, please let me know. Thanks!
Posted: 10/28/17 at 12:13am
HUH! Wildin. Well, get that money then, DEH! Clearly I am ready to benefit from it so how can I judge lol
Also, herewego, yea the center front row feels justifiable at that price, it's a unique "partial view" situation where you are getting something special from it(I can't not believe I will get to see these incredible performances up close!) and the cut off parts (from reports) are very insignificant. The mezz and those extreme side wall-facing orch seats kind of seem like... Not really worth that $160, but I have never sat in any of those, just the reports I have read don't sound very much like they're really worth $50 more than the back of the mezz (where I have sat).

Well deserved! Kudos to you CT2NYC!!!! Great karma and enjoy!!!

I would actually disagree that the far mezzanine sides aren't worth the $170 price. When I saw the show in August my husband and I sat in Mezz Row A 24 and 26 (I mistakenly said in my last post that we sat in row B, but it was row A, typo out of excitement!), which are the 2 far seats on the right, and we thought they were great. We paid FAR above the partial view face value off stubhub, at the time thinking that was our one and only shot to see Ben as we don't live in NYC, and I had zero regrets. I sat in 24 and my husband in 26, and while the sound board is blocking your view a tad, he said all he really missed in 26 were some entrances and exits that weren't really that big of a deal. I didn't feel like I missed much of anything in 24 except a couple projections far to the side. All this to say, if you get those seats for actual face value at $170 (incl fees), and it's really important to you to see Ben, it's definitely worth it! I can't attest to the far orchestra seats in B, but hoping it's decent enough because that's where my husband will be sitting come 11/18, lol!

I haven't actually sat in the seat, but I have sat in the aisle seat on Orchestra Left B (B1). My view was fine- a little neck strain because still very close to a high stage, but other than not being able to clearly see the projections (I'd seen the show many times before- I didn't mind that much), I didn't miss anything. However, I had read reports of B11, so I made a point to look at it while I was close. The man in the seat was basically face to face with a wall. I don't know how he could see anything at all.
If someone is really desperate to see Ben, fine. I can see paying that for that seat because at least you're in the theatre. Beyond that, though... I feel bad for anyone who spends $170 on that seat for some random Tuesday night in March.

Oh, I dont doubt it's worth it in general for the show. I way overpaid, in a sense, for my last row of the mezz tickets the first time around (I saw MLB as Evan who was INCREDIBLE and I hope he's staying on for matinees so I might be able to catch him again), and the $270 I paid definitely felt well spent! I just wonder if they're worth more than the $109 that the back of the mezz's unobstructed view goes for.

I accidentally purchased two tickets for 11/18 8pm show. I am really hoping to sell one to someone in this group vs StubHub to avoid upcharge (they charge sellers and buyers!), but will post it on StubHub on Monday if no one claims! I am really hoping not to do this - I hate the upcharge of a resell ticket, but I am only looking to recoup what I paid, and my listing will reflect just that (~$300). Again, I am NOT looking to make money off this! Just want it to go to someone in this group, if possible!
PM me for details!
Sincerely,
Me"
If no one on here wants it, Telecharge will probably give you a refund.

Congrats to everyone who got tickets today! So happy for you guys! I’m not giving up,though. I’m looking for any single ticket for 11/18 or 11/19. I’ve messaged those of you who posted about trying to sell, but feel free to message me if you have one you’re looking to sell. Thank you so much. I’ve been following this show since Arena Stage, and it would mean so much to me to be there that weekend. Thank you!!

This is probably highly unlikely but was anyone able to grab an extra ticket to Ben's performance that they're willing to part with at a normal price? I have no problem paying higher than face value but over $1000 on Stubhub is a bit too crazy for me... Thanks in advance..!
