Totally agree. If I'm not mistaken, the $39 Todaytix tickets are rear, side balcony, towards the very back of the theater. When you tack on the $12.50 service fee, you're paying $51.50. If you're OK sitting on the far sides, even if it's a few more seats to the side and may be slightly obstructed, it seems like a much better deal to sit in the orchestra for $4.50 less assuming stopping by the theater to buy the ticket is not a problem.

I'll be on the city in october. Should i buy the rear balcony or wait to can i risk buy a partial view on the week of my stay? thx
I can't really speak to how difficult they are to get as a general rule or what it will be like in October but based on all the comments people made about buying these seats in the very lengthy thread about Donna Murphy doing Tuesdays, they really don't sound too difficult to get. Worst case scenario, if they are all gone, you can probably still get the rear balcony seats as I think Donna is doing fine but I don't think her shows are selling out well in advance like Bette's shows are. I think your risk is minimal but there are obviously no guarantees. And if all that fails, you can try for SRO for one of Bette's shows..
