I was buttering them up so they would give me the inside scoop. Also he said 3 standing room only were released today. And stubhub went down 15 minutes before the show. but don't take my ticket :)

Is face value typically $199 + tax?"

face value for full-view orchestra is $199; with taxes and fees on TElecharge, total would be $213. If you get it from box office though, it's only $199.

Wow if they only released 3 SRO, those are normally unclaimed lottery (which tells me they really had zero cancellation tickets for last night.)

Hello, I am a single person willing to camp out in the cancelation line on Thursday night for Friday cancelation ticket.  If you are interested in being my plus one, you would need to pay for my ticket as well as your own.  Sorry if this seems unethical to some, but people used to do it all the time for Hamilton and I'm guessing this method is cheaper than hiring a line sitter.  Please PM if interested

Hello, everyone!  I'm from Indiana, but am traveling to NYC with my sister this week.  We had been planning on camping out Tuesday night, in hopes of getting tickets for one of the shows on Wednesday. I even bought a new coat and packed a sleeping bag for our night out :)

I've been following this feed for weeks though, reading all of your success stories, and saw information about the four day rule.  My sister and I diligently checked telecharge for tickets all day yesterday, and came so close to getting them a few times but kept missing them.  Yesterday afternoon, however, we were able to get two tickets in the orchestra second row center!

I have never posted on here before, but I wanted to thank everyone for all of the advice you have provided us with.  I think not standing in line overnight will make our viewing experience, and probably my entire trip, more enjoyable.  I am literally crying from excitement right now.  I've been wanting to see this show for almost a year and a half now.  Thanks again, and good luck to everyone else!

no they said people got other seats too. Not just SRO. Who knows though.

Hi all, I wanted to first and foremost thank the people in this thread, as I was able to score two front row center tickets to see Ben's last Saturday matinee with my Grandmother. She used to perform on Broadway in the late 40s/50s and had only dreamed of seeing it.

That being said, I am now getting progressively anxious about the seats, she is 95 years old and short, and the more I read the more I worry she will only be listening and not seeing anything.

Could anyone offer tips/experiences from the front row, center orchestra? Does the Music Box provide boosters we could use, or should I bring something for her?

Thanks all!

pnewelljr , congrats on getting tickets! I'm 5'2" and I won front Row through the lottery. Yes, the theatre has cushions and I unabashedly used one. The only thing I missed was people's feet, no biggie. 

Everyone behind you is looking up as well, so you will not block anyone's view with a booster or two. 

 

Enjoy!

Site timed out for me on the computer. By the time I checked on my phone, only premiums were left. The desktop site is yet to respond, says "We’re sorry, we're having a problem with this feature of the site right now. Please try again." Do scalpers bot these things or something?"

I'm no longer able to access the website.. I suspect my ip address was picked up by the spam filter and the website assumes I'm a bot...... How fortunate that the moment I was no longer unable to access the site, all those Wed matinee tickets came back. I contacted telecharge's support email to see if there's anything they can do.

 

Was I wrong in constantly refreshing the ticket search page throughout the day? I thought that's how people were learning of new tickets being available again?

Ah, good to know it's not just limited to me then. That sounds like a good idea, thank you.

I just scooped up two tickets in orchestra row N (opposite sides of the theatre, but I do have two) for Thursday night. Haven't seen any others. I actually can't go Thursday night, but I figured I'd take them and see if anyone here wants them, rather than let the bots and scalpers get them. My first choice would be to swap for a ticket any time Friday, Saturday, or Sunday of this week, if anyone is willing to make that trade. PM me if interested.

"Who knows though"?

They weren't believable?

Just as an update on the line: I got on the line today at 2:45am and I was the fourth in line, ticket #6. The first guy got there before 8pm and he was the only one that got tickets. 

I was told that for yesterday’s evening performance they released 6 reg tickets + 3 SRO. 

I’ll try to keep an eye for any $199 tickets on telecharge, cause it’s my only hope to see Ben

Thanks to this group I was offered a ticket (that I could sort of afford) 2 hours before today's show in Orchestra. This group is amazing and I appreciate everyone who was helpful. Side note - all six seats next to me were empty. So weird.

I'm really looking for one ticket for Sunday Nov. 19th at somewhat of a reasonable price! I have two orchestra tickets for a later date that I will give up for this if someone can help out!!

ONLY 11/19 is what you'd want, nothing beforehand?

What price range is "reasonable" to you?

Offered where?  Outside the theatre or via StubHub/TickPick?

Which exact seat were you sitting in that there were 6 empty seats right next to you?

What time did the first guy get his tickets?

When were you told that there were no more?

Did we ever find out if and when Rachel Bay Jones is returning for the final week?

Did we ever get confirmation if/when Rachel Bay Jones is returning this week?

Her understudy tweeted that yesterday was the last day she would perform with Ben so I assume she’s back tomorrow.
