Last Friday, when the seats for Ben's last week were released, I looked through every available month, and the partial views were showing up for every performance. They didn't appear to be selling that well, so I was surprised that, when I looked again on Sunday or Monday, they were all gone. I suppose it's possible that they all sold, especially if ticket resellers started buying up most of them. Honestly, though, I would be less shocked if I found out that Telecharge was only supposed to sell those seats for Ben's final week, and, when their mistake was caught, they pulled them out of circulation."

Ah ok. I thought they only released it for November. Who knows, perhaps all those seats were taken by ticket resellers but then again, doesn't Telecharge have an 8 ticket limit per person/account/credit card or something like that? I also wonder if ticket resellers read this borad.

I probably shouldn't be but I am surprised to say yes- That seems to be the case for Noah Galvin's whole run! Absolutely nothing, wow. Anyway: for Trensch starting late jan there's plenty of rear mezz on various weekdays for $135-149, but there doesn't seem to be any partial view, although they may not of have been up? I'm not seeing any even all the way into some March shows with plenty of other cheaper options still available."

I think moreso that the Music Box Theatre box office got sick-and-tired of the ticket broker around the corner from them sending 20+ workers in person every morning in order to immediately buy just-released partial view seats."

This sounds unlikely considering there's a line every morning to purchase tickets, if they were released at the box office I'd think they'd sell to them, or people in this thread who had done the cancellation line would've noted the weird rush of people somehow buying tickets every morning lol. 

I think it's possible maybe that they just sell these in batches? Like, when I think about it I have only ever heard front row of Orchestra sides being lottery, and then center and the mezz being bought at face or through tkts early on? It's possible that CT2NYC is right and this batch was supposed to be just through a small period and pulled because it seems weird to me scalpers would pick up all the partial views for next July and leave the $109-135 Mezz seats.

The reason why they were put on Telecharge is, yes, not 100% known BUT the long lines of broker-workers buying partial-view seats weekly, if not daily, at the Music Box Theatre box office IS 100% known.

Those who are the "line every morning" as you name them are the cancellation line people trying to get tickets for that very day's/night's performance, not some partial-view seats a month or so in the future.

Regarding the partial view seats I just got off the phone with Telecharge who called the BO for me. They told  "there was a glitch in the system and them had to take the partial views off sale to fix it. They should be back online by Monday and they are not all sold out"

 

Hope that helps to clear some things up

They were $149. I searched for one and two popped up. Not next to each other but in the K row of Mezzanine.

I'm sorry! I was really hoping someone on here would see them in time.

Am I like an idiot - why am I missing all of these!? 

[Wired4Broadway]

Posted: 11/3/17 at 3:50pm

Do you have to release them? Or can you just sell them to other people? I typically DON"T use telecharge. I know they are gone but just curious. 

[MyLife]

Posted: 11/3/17 at 3:53pm

It means justjenny grabbed the tickets but then telecharge gives you a certain window of time to buy them. 

She chose not to buy them so they were released back into the pool for someone else to buy.

Makes sense! Are people having better luck looking on their phones or computer? Or not really making a difference?

I'm curious if anyone has an update on the line this month and if it's super long because of it being Ben's last few weeks? Also I'm looking for a ticket for Sunday matinee so if anyone has any tips that would be great! And how do I see the original message describing the "4 day trick"? Thanks everyone!

My orch seat for Tuesday popped up on my phone. I'm still locked out on my work computer.

Hi KristenAlley, the 4 day trick is basically checking Telecharge constantly 4 days before the show you are trying to see because they might release tickets during that time. I have had zero luck trying to find 2 orchestra tickets for Sunday's matinee and I have been trying for the last few days...I might have to bite the bullet and spend the money on StubHub or TickPick, which obviously was my last choice

There's currently a premium seat for Wednesday night, and several for Thursday night.

Anyone holding on to 2 orchestra seats for Sunday's matinee by chance?

I've used TickPick! No issues and smooth transaction. Picked up tickets right at the box office about 15 mins before show started. I will say though, often times sellers raise their prices on Tickpick to make the price similar to what they are selling for on StubHub, etc. so they can get more $$. But overall, I think you'd save a little bit of money on this site. I'm keeping tabs on all of them for next Wed/Thurs night. Good luck!

Thanks Kelly! I'm looking at TickPick now. Their prices are definitely better than SH, but their orchestra center seats available for Sunday are only in the last 2 rows. I'm debating whether to buy a pair of those or gamble and wait to see if SH lowers their prices tomorrow. They still have 30 tickets available in center orchestra. And of course I am still checking Telecharge constantly :)

Will happily listen to any suggestions or advice from you guys!
