Which day's line?
What is it that you would like to know?"
i just got in line and i’m the fourth (and last person)for saturday. the line is really confusing cause there’s already one person in line for sunday. we’re doing the signing in sheet thingie, which is pretty typical and stuff. there’s only me and a friend from this board also in line, all the others are line sitters. but again, there are people ONLY for the evening and people only for the matinee (bc they’re line sitters) and then there’s the girl and iwho dont care which show we get as long as we get in."
Take 2 for you in the line???
GOOD LUCK!!!
How many people NOW in the line? You and your "board-friend" still the ONLY non-pro's?
Just a heads up as there are now only three shows left for Ben's run. The family next to me at stage door discovered that two out of their four tickets from stubhub were fake. The scalper had sold that particular set of Row B tickets three times... they were physical tickets and they didn't find out until the tickets were scanned at the front. Luckily, they were able to run to the stubhub store and demanded whatever tickets were still available 20 mins before the show.

Ugh this is always a big fear of mine with SH! Do you know if they were the print out tickets or hard tickets? I always feel like it must be way easier to sell multiple of the same seat with the print outs because they are so easy to replicate/reprint. Glad they were able to get replacement tickets though, SH is good about that!
I have an extra ticket for tonight’s show—partial view, Orch Row B, Seat 12. Selling what I paid face value, plus fees: $173. I picked it up from the box office, so it is REAL (since there is some concern over fake ones right now).
Must be able to meet me at the Music Box around 7:15 tonight, with cash. If interested, PM me, don’t respond on the board please. I was going to sell to someone in the cancellation line but I’d rather it go to a fan over a line sitter.

SH is reputable for its money-back guarantee. With download or etickets, I trust them but if I use them, I make sure I'm one of the first people to enter the Music Box theater. You're right that the original seller can print out multiple copies and sell them again and again --- but only the first person who gets the ticket scanned will get in.
As for actual ticket copies that are pickup at SH last minute service center, those should be fine (or at least harder to duplicate)

dont know the current situation, but i got in line 8pm yesterday. they released 2 SRO and a partial view as soon as the BO opened - the girl in front of me claimed one SRO and i claimed the other and some other girl claimed the partial view. All tickets were for the evening show. from what i gather, we’re doing just one line for either show (there’s no apparent separation between matinee and evening).

They were actual hard physical tickets. The real ticket and the fakes looked and felt alike. However the barcodes were the same.

Pre-note: *I* am NOT in the line today.
As of my intermission during last night's Hello Dolly ( side comment: SEE THAT SHOW! ) there were 9 people on the combined Saturday matinee/evening DEH cancellation line. My GUESStimate is that of the 9 people, 3 were future-attendees and 6 were pro's.

I just went to pick up my ticket for tonight and there was somewhere between 15-20 people (I counted 16 but people clearly left their stuff) waiting on the combined line, as well as about ten hanging around the stage door.

Wow! Well, I'll just hope for the best and try to get there early to be closer to the front of the line. Thanks for posting the heads up though!

DEH definitely gets a bunch of fake tickets per performance but I sense it's not the 15-20 each like Hamilton used to get turned away every time they had a show performed.
Line up 60 minutes before curtain if you want to ensure enough time to check tickets and get to the StubHub location BUT if there are no more tickets for sale for that particular performance I am not sure what the SH workers do other than simply refund your money ... does anyone else know?

I'm thinking I should be fine, but I'll be paranoid until the moment it gets scanned! And yes, if there are no more tickets left I believe you simply get the full refund, which is definitely better than loosing out on both the performance and the money..but not ideal! Time will tell!
If anyone has any tickets for sunday under $250, or see any on telecharge PLEASE pm me or hold it! I will be checking this board and telecharge all day.
Super curious question... has any premium tickets popped up for 11/19 since the announcement of the final show? Because, for example, premiums popped up for today’s matinee and evening show yesterday, but I don’t think anyone on this board has seen any premiums for 11/19 yet?
i am now willing to pay for anything face value, even premium for sunday. please pm me if you’re selling, l will consider buying for alottt of money or if you see anything on telecharge please pm me as well!!!

On Thursday, I had bought Mezz Row A for 11/19 but Telecharge didn't confirm the purchase and someone else wound up getting it. It was labeled as premium ($313?) but not quite the $400 seats we've seen pop up in the orchestra.
If anyone is looking for a stubhub/tickpick buddy for tomorrow, send me a message. It’s typically easier to get a pair than a single. I’m willing to pay premium or more so someone who also is would be ideal!
I have one more premium ticket (flaky friend) for tonight at face value if someone can meet me at/near Times Square with cash in the next hour. Message me. $464, face value, Center orchestra.
