Hey all, had a friend visiting nyc who desperately wanted to see DEH at all costs and said that even a non-Ben performance was great. How the tides change. Picked her up a Wednesday Matinee on the 4 day rule in Orchestra Row K and now she simply can't see it without Ben.
Anyways if anyone wants it for the exact $213 that Telecharge charged for it it yours.....PM me if interested!
In the words of Mr. William Morris Barfee, "In my whole life I have only been able to breathe through one nostril and today is no exception!"
If anyone bought extra tickets or is willing to sell them, I have a few friends who would be willing to buy them off of Telecharge if you were to ask for a refund. Just a heads up :)
The tickets seem to be popping up a little bit randomly now. I just got a front row center (A107) for 11/21, which will be Noah Galvin’s first performance. If I’m successful at getting an 11/18 or 11/19 ticket, I will make that available here first, probably at below cost as a thank you to the universe and this board for all the amazing tickets.
I want to thank CT2NYC for all his kind help and advice. I was able to score a ticket to Tuesday's show because of him. I read this board often but don't post due to all the nastiness. It was really nice to see such a generous and thoughtful person for a change. I'm glad he got a ticket to Ben's last show - he deserved it!
Massive thank you to CT2NYC- were it not for all of your help and updates I wouldn't have kept trying! I managed to get a ticket to Wednesday night's show and still can't believe I'm going to be able to see Ben before he goes. It's an orchestra seat and was at face value ($213). I guess this means the times they're releasing seats are even more spread out now/someone returned it but I'm so excited!
Apologies if these are newbie questions, but since around noon today, whenever I search the Telecharge site for tickets, all I get is a message that reads "We’re sorry, we're having a problem with this feature of the site right now. Please try again." I'm only trying on the site b/c every time I try to hit "Find Tickets" on the Telecharge app, it works for about second then bumps me back to the "Find A Show" homepage. So I've got nowhere with either and it's maddening. It looks like some folks have been able to find tix, but has anyone else experienced these problems and/or found a workaround? I've been trying all day and am beginning to feel like the Broadway gods are trying to tell me something.
Try taking your phone off wifi. It sounds like you got temporarily locked out of Telecharge because you were using multiple devices on the same wifi connection.

Your IP address has been flagged by the ticketing system for excessive searches, which usually happens when you use more than 1 device to search at the same time on the same Wi-Fi network. It happened to me a few times. Telecharge says it's temporary, but I was blocked almost 2 weeks before I fixed it myself. I had to unplug my modem and router overnight, at least 8 hours, so my Internet provider would automatically assign me a new IP address. Until I did that, I could only search using the 4G on my cell phone, or on public Wi-Fi.

Yep, take it off WiFi or turn your phone off and on and start again. You may have to repeat this several times but it works.
There are now 3 premiums (Row G, Center Orchestra, 102, 103, and 104) available for tomorrow's matinee for $425 each. I'm holding one, but about to release it.
Thanks CT2NYC and the other folks above who tipped me off to the multiple device / WiFi issue. I was tearing my hair out! Just tried again and got so caught up in the excitement of seeing actual tickets available, I scooped up the 2 premium tix in Row H 5 & 7 for Weds. eve 11/1 for $399 each. At least $100/per than I wanted to pay, but after losing most of my Saturday trying, I was desperate. If my wife gives me too much grief about the price, I may offer them up and will def offer them here at face value before I post on any reseller sites. I just want to say one more time that I've been watching this board for a while, and I just can't get over how nice, supportive, and helpful you all are to each other. It's really awesome to see. Once again, THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Tell your wife that a stranger on the internet endorses your spending decision and says she won't regret it. Congratulations on getting the seats!

Thank you so so much for helping so many of us get tickets, all of the 3 times I got tickets to deh was through your 4 day trick! Just curious, was the transfer-arm and wheelchair companion seats realeased as well or only the lottery seats?

Just the partial view seats were released. I'm assuming the accessible seats will still follow the 4-day rule for Ben's last week. Whether or not there will be any unsold by that point is another question.
How much would the accessible seats be for Ben's final performance? I'd save up to get one when they're released since I have work off. It'll be quite an experience I'd love to have (even though I've already been to another iconic Ben performance 2 would be icing on the cake)
You can see how many wheelchair/transfer arm seats are still available for each date by searching for them. They are available for some shows during Ben's last week, but there are none for his last performance. That means that for his last performance, they are already all sold to people in wheelchairs and their companions. In other words, the four-day rule won't work for his last performance because all those seats are already sold.

This is true, but the Telecharge website doesn't list transfer arm seats in the mezzanine as an option when searching for accessible seating. This could explain why the same pairs of seats in the mezzanine, in row E, row J, and row K, keep popping up. If they can't be purchased through the website, they're more likely to go unsold. So, while all the accessible seating in the orchestra on 11/19 is sold out, there's a chance that those seats in the mezzanine are still available. Also, even if all the wheelchair seats are sold, there's no way of knowing how many of the 3 allowed companion seats each one has purchased.

Ah, interesting! I didn't know that! I sat in row J last time I went, and was wondering if it was a 4-day seat, even though it was in mezzanine. So even though Telecharge gives you the option to search for transfer arm seating, it won't let you search for those seats in the mezzanine? How do you know all this stuff?!!
