Can anyone tell me how Fences SRO has been lately? I was hoping to try it tomorrow and I'm interested as to how early people are getting there to make sure they get a spot. Thanks, hope you enjoy the weekend!

Hi, I did SRO for Fences on Friday June 4, I got there an 8:30 am and there was only 3 people waiting on line. I asked them 'how long had they been waiting for?' and they said they got there about 10 minutes before I did.

How did it turn out for you, BWayFanatic? I'm going to try next week and would love to hear.

I stupidly asked the box office guy yesterday evening (a Saturday no less!) at around 7 PM. I know, I know! I figured there was no harm in asking lol. But he told me that people get there at around 8-8:30 AM and they are gone pretty quickly. It's definitely picked up since previews. Wound up seeing 'Next Fall' instead. I got great seats at about 7:15 PM. Very good show. Hope the sales pick up.

I'm on the line right now. I got here at 7am and there are 5 people in front of me and like 3 people behind me right now so if you plan on trying today I suggest getting down here quick. I'm trying to get tickets for the night show so I think I will be ok.

I would get there before 7am, I also recognized about 10 people inside who were waiting on line outside for standing room tickets. I don't know the exact amount that they have though. Tickets were 36.50 I believe. Totally worth it, the play is amazing.

Did the price of the standing room tickets go up from $26.50? (that's the price listed on playbill)

#14

Yes they did go up. Still well worth it as the standing room tickets are a great view in the back of the mezz and a hell of a lot cheaper than a normal ticket.

Nope, they are still the same price as of a few days ago.

Bumping this...anyone have any line-up info from last weekend? What was the safe time of arrival

I'm answering my own question, but I thought this might be helpful:

I arrived at 7am today (Saturday June 26) and was roughly 10th in line (first people in line arrived at 5:30). I was able to get two tickets for the evening performance, however, I don't believe more than 6 or 7 people after me were so lucky. Translation: there were roughly 30 very unhappy people outside the Cort theater this morning.

Moral of the story: if you want to secure tickets, arrive before 7, if you want to play it safe. And yes, tickets were indeed $36.50 each.

Hope this helps!

My friend and I arrived at about 6:50 today, and the person in front of us was the last person to get a ticket. She said she had gotten there at about 6:30.

I got there Wed at 5:45am and there were already 5 people in front of me, they had 15 spots for the mat and eve shows.
It was $36.50 and the view was good from the back of the mezz and the play was great!! However after standing on line for over 4 hours and then standing during the show and at stage door for another 3 hours, was a bit much.

Did you mean the show and stage door time combined was 3 hours or the stage door time was 3 hours? And has Denzel started signing?

That would suck, the earliest bus gets me in at 6:30... Hopefully most will try for the night show.
