Hi, this is a very, very long shot but I flew in yesterday from the UK in the hope of seeing Ben perform one more time (having seen DEH in previews at Second Stage), so if anyone has a spare single ticket for any of Ben's remaining performances bar Thursday night, please could you PM me? Unfortunately I can't go above $215 though....

Good luck to all those who are also looking for tickets and enjoy the show to the lucky ones who have managed to secure some. ??

Happy 4-days-til-November 19th!  I'm looking for one ticket to Ben's final show.  Premium or regular priced.  If you come across one, please please please let me know!  :)

I'd say your best bet if you do cancellation line is to be at least amongst the first 3 people on line (first 6 tickets).

As for stubhubbing, just have a budget (i.e. $300 or $400) and once the price falls below that threshold, quickly buy it. In the past few days even all the stubhub tix have been sold ten minutes before showtime.

hello all! long story short, my friends and i cannot make tomorrow night's show (Thursday), and am looking to give back to this thread. They are premium seats; a pair and a single which is 2 rows behind the pair. I paid $439 each, and would only ask that in return. Happy to accommodate all 3 at once, or a split! 

Please PM me if you're interested!

Alright, I'm going to try for 1 ticket for Sunday, fingers crossed. 

 

What's better - mobile or desktop site?

An infinitesimal amount of luck is more important than either. That said, many people have yielded better results with letting the site pick the seats for you, rather than you picking off the map.

anyone having problems with telecharge? it says the feature of the site is unvailable or something. I only ever use it on my phone and this has been going on since 9. is that the site thinking i’m a bot?

You've been IP blocked.  You searched too many times in a short period and sho they blocked your ip from further searches.  Are you using a phone or in-home internet  connection?

I’m using the mobile app and checking once in a while since around 8 and I’ve been fine! Could it be your IP address is blocked? I saw that many people experienced this problem in this thread before. Sorry that I don’t remember the solution to this problem... if you flip one or two pages before you should find it! Hope this helps :)

Does the fact that there doesn't seem to be any tickets available when I search for wheelchair seats mean it's likely that no companion seats will be released?

Hi all,

I too am a long-time lurker of this thread, and this is my first post! I am a PhD student in a desperate search for a single ticket to any DEH show in Ben's final week. Given my paltry student stipend I am unable to pay more than ~200.

I will try the box office today and cancellation line tomorrow but I know my chances. Please, please let me know if anything pops up. Desperation is high!

Also wanted to say that it has been so lovely to see so many people find tickets through this message board. Even if it doesn't work for me, I'm glad it exists.

Most likely. They don't hold them in any special manner, so if they aren't there now, they aren't likely to magically appear.

We have tickets to see the show on 1/17 (still not exactly sure of who we're seeing but I'm guessing it's Michael Lee Brown regardless since it's the matinee) but would obviously love to be able to catch Ben before he leaves since we've never seen the show before. My daughter is visually impaired so we'd need to be pretty close to the stage for her to be able to catch the action which is partly why we've had our tickets for so far out. Just not that many tickets available for visually impaired patrons, unfortunately, so they go pretty quickly. If by any chance anyone has 2 tickets for tonight's performance, please feel free to PM me. BTW, just wanted to say that this thread is amazing!

Well... it depends on how many companion seats each person bought when they buy the wheelchair seats. If a person bought a wheelchair seat they are offered three companion seats. For example, if they choose to only purchase one of them then the other two gets released by this 4 day method.

I'd assume you meant 11/18 since you have a matinee, but it sounds like as of now Ben should be in for that show.  He was going to do the whole week then they pulled the plug on the matinee today, but you should be good!

no one ever knows. it’s different every time. last sunday i got there at 2am, was fourth in line and they ended up releasing only 2 tickets, which was pretty disappointing. i’m thinking of doing it again for saturday, considering i don’t have much luck with telecharge. i’m thinking of getting there around 8/9pm on friday, that should be enough for being up to third.

I wish it was 11/18! It's 1/17, i.e. January.

thanks to you and the other person that spoke up! i tried unplugging and waiting but it didnt work. tried some other internet-found method but also no luck so i’m pretty sure telecharge is not happening for me. if anyone ends up with a ticket for ANY ben-show up to ~200 i would be delighted to buy it. if nothing works out i’ll probably try the line again for sat. would also love to speak up on how kind everyone in this thread is! i was pmed tickets for the wed matinee after i posted that the line for sunday didnt work and was pretty shocked on how people are just willing to help each other out of the kindness of their hearts. so general thanks to everyone who’s trying to let people who havent seen the show have a chance to see it!
