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 thoseor 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 :)

Willhappily listen to any suggestions or advice from you guys!"

Rows O and P in the orchestra have awesome sightlines, because they're tiered above all the other rows. There's very little incline in rows A-N, so, there's always a chance that there'll be a really tall person/big head/big hair blocking your view. Row O is literally a step up from N, so you're looking above the heads of everyone else. Then, row P is a step from N. Here's a pic of the view from row O:

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."

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.

"

Oh, okay! I thought you were implying with "every morning" and "just released" that partial view was released daily for that day, my bad! Ill work on my reading comprehension lol

Thank you so much for this information CT2NYC!!! I had NO idea those 2 rows were raised. So. in your valuable opinion should I just go ahead and buy those Row O center seats and not bother with gambling to see if StubHub lowers their prices tomorrow, or if Telecharge magically releases orchestra center seats tomorrow? Part of me would like to have peace of mind and buy them today before we get on the plane at midnight...

I sat in O on the far side a few weeks ago and it was perfect  I’ve also sat a few rows further forward, and O was better.

I am looking at ticket that is a wheelchair accessible seat. If it’s visible on telecharge does that mean it’s available forsale even if you’re not in a wheelchair?

Thanks

It’s not an actual seat. It’s a space for a wheelchair. I made that mistake last week and they thankfully refunded me.

That is great to know, thank you annang!! So even the side orchestra was ok view-wise?

Ah, thanks for the info. so even though it’s showing wheelchair and companion seats available these are not really available to people who aren’t in a wheelchair?

do you know how it works when they decide to release those seats if they’re unclaimed by people needing a spot for their wheelchair? Because the companion seats are actually seats right?

I would add that the theater is really small, IMO. I recently saw Hamilton in LA and the Pentages seats 2,703. It was way too big. The Music Box is intimate. I sat in row O 28, all the way on the right, and enjoyed it very much. I'm happily sitting in K 24 on Tuesday.

Replying to agree with all comments above- I got O 28 (wheelchair) for this past Wednesday night and it was an incredible view- so much closer than I thought it'd be (again, music box is very small) and I did have a seat! (thankfully). While there was a mix up where they took out the wrong seat for wheelchair accessibility, they screwed in a seat for me a few minutes before the show started and it was all good :) There was no trouble seeing over anyone's head, as like a few other people have said the last two rows are elevated.

Great to hear! I agree it’s always surprising to see how small the theaters really are! Did you get that wheelchair seat from the cancellation line or was it released online at some point last minute? I see that there are a couple available online for a show this week but I don’t think I’m supposed to buy them at this point since no one in my party of 2 is in a wheelchair. Any advice would be great!

Those were 4-day out from Telecharge- I bought it as a single seat and didn't search specifically for wheelchair seats, it was just one that popped up. If they're the randomly released seats I think you're alright, but if you're searching through the handicap accessible option I think it'd probably be best to check with Telecharge before purchasing them as they're most likely still on hold to be wheelchair accessible. Best of luck!

Whenever they pop up as a regular seat then you are good, that's what the four day seats generally are, so it seems the wheelchair cut off point is four days then they become available to anyone. If you have to click on the wheelchair specific option to see them then they're only for parties including someone in a wheelchair

That was my thought, I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t just insanely lucky to get $199 seats offered. I had seen on here people getting accessible seating so I had searched for that but I was worried they were still held. Thanks to you both for the help!

As long as you leave the search on "Any Seating Section," whatever comes up is ok to purchase unless for some reason it specifically says wheelchair seating, which I've never seen.

It makes me so sad to see two of those front row seats for the 11/19 show that popped up last week now on Stubhub for $7,000 each. I would love to be at Ben's final show and will be frequently refreshing Telecharge for the next two weeks!

Those were supposed to be sad faces. It's terrible that scalpers do that.

That’s a real shame. Since Will Call was the only delivery option, I was hoping that would deter resellers. I didn’t think they were even available to be picked up yet.

Sorry, I was settling in at the movie theater earlier, so I couldn't reply to this. My recommendation would have been to buy those row O tickets, but, since I don't see them on StubHub, maybe you already did?

I completely agree and think it's such a bummer. I also just looked at the night of 11/18 and one seller has 6 front row orchestra seats listed now.

I am sitting in the front row on the night of 11/18 and did not buy more than one ticket in the hopes that someone in this group would be able to The resell of these seats is a real disappointment.

With that said, is anyone also seated there that night?

So sad to see so many front row seats on 11/18, too!

If anyone sees tickets pop up again for 11/19 please let me know! I can do regular or premium price.
