Yeah I just joined. I have a friend that works on the show and that’s what he told me. I didn’t know the strike was over though. Just reporting what I heard. He said it wasn’t all the airlines just one in particular which would explain why some made it and some didn’t. Idk. Can you post a link to what you read about the strike? I’d be interested to read it.

I was able to get a rush ticket about 25 minutes before curtain for $42 at the box office for tonight's show. I wasn't optimistic because when I checked Telecharge this morning, there were only 5 seats available in the whole theatre. Theatre was mostly full with a few clusters of empty seats near me in the orchestra. I enjoyed myself and am glad I went having not known anything about him prior.

Thanks, great to know, especially that close to curtain.

My 2x free tickets scanned successfully at yesterday's (Tuesday 8/22) matinee.

I was trying to peek at other people's tickets and it looked like a lot of people had comps - their tickets were the same weird Google Wallet type screenshot instead of the normal Telecharge ticket pdf. And I do mean a LOT of people, like literally almost everyone I saw had the same type of ticket. So for the people who had trouble with their tix, if I had to guess this show might be papering so hard that there was some miscommunication between which seats were to be sold vs which seats were to be comped.

Here's the weird thing though, I just took a look at last week's grosses for this show and they look...decent? Like from the grosses it doesn't look like they papered too hard. Which is in direct contrast to what I (think) I saw today.

I have more questions than answers now lol

I also got a notice that I won 2 tickets on 8/15 and a confirmation that they got my request on the same day, clicked the link to fill out the form and was told that I would get my tickets "a few days before the show."  I emailed each address associated with this prize and have received no response.I am supposed to see the show this afternoon.  Going to the box office to see if anyone can help or if this is a lost cause. Wish me luck!

Did you get your tickets? I signed up for tomorrow's show and also haven't heard anything yet.

My tickets are for Friday and so far I have not received tickets. I have sent numerous messages to ask about tickets and got no reply

I finally got my tickets after posting on El Mago Pop's Instagram page.  Got a DM and received the tickets.  I did go to the box office and was told that the box office knew of the free tickets, but did not know who was giving the tickets.  They said if I waited, that house management would try to help with tickets depending on there being available seats.  Shortly after I was told that, I got the message via Instagram about the tickets.  Got mezz seats, row B.  Show was fun to see.

When I saw the show the other day, the person he picked with the drivers license was a female sitting in orchestra and she had a license from Colorado. I’m not sure if she is a plant or not but she looked like a complete stranger to me.

I’m in awe by what he did on the Today show.
"

What he did in the today show was force the wheel to pick black and then had a set of twins already in the floor of the second compartment. This is why this guy is a hack. Lying to the audience while using low skill props is lame as hell. Magicians like Asi wind who spend years perfecting skills probably hate this guy. It would be like you using a hidden camera or mic to learn what card someone picked instead of using misdirection, sleight of hand, precision shuffles, etc.

Anytime you're asked for payment information for something that's supposed to be free, that's a red flag. I had a similar experience once and it turned out to be a scam. Speaking of payments, when I play online I always use https://duxcasino.ca/ and check reliable payment methods. It's very important to stay safe online, whether you're buying tickets or playing games."

Sounds like you got a great deal! It’s always a win when you enjoy a show you didn’t expect to see! Thanks for sharing!
