Discrepancy between show times on 'what's happening' vs. ticket sites?

I've been using the what's happening [https://www.broadwayworld.com/happening.cfm] feature here to semi-plan our show schedule, seeing what shows have performances when in order to fit in as many as possible.

I had tentatively written down show A for a 3pm Sunday, show B for a 7:30pm Sunday, and show C for an 8pm Monday, pleased that we were able to fit all three in :)

However, when I went to telecharge and ticketmaster to check seats and prices, I found that show B (ticketmaster) does not have a 7:30 Sunday, and show C (telecharge) doesn't have an 8pm Monday - but it *does* have a 2pm Monday which BWW hadn't mentioned! (This Monday being New Years Day)

So basically now I'm wondering, who has it right? Obviously I'll be buying tickets through ticketmaster and telecharge so that had *better* have it right, but already once I've had telecharge cancel a show on me so I'm a little uncertain - mostly about that extra Monday matinee, because that slot is pretty much the only time we can fit in show C.

If ticketmaster says it, it's right.

I believe ticketmaster, but I've already been burned once by telecharge, and a Monday matinee on New Years Day sounds a bit strange to me...oh well, chance it? (That show, by the way, is Spring Awakening)

That matinee makes up for a cancelled show that week.

Chance it.

Okay, thanks! Sorry for sounding like such a dork but once bitten, twice shy and all that

I don't blame you for being wary, shows change their schedules randomly during the holidays, but telecharge or ticketmaster and the like are at the mercy of the producers changing the schedule at their will. (You can blame them if they didn't tell you, however...)
