Steve C. said: "I saw "Shuffle" last week and offer this as, not so much as a criticism as info...they are selling SRO but they are selling too many. I can understand trying to accommodate as many people as they can however the house does not know how to handle it imo. For the no late seating policy, they are overselling so that people are standing along the wings down to the exit signs"
I seriously doubt that those people were holding SRO tickets. When I got an SRO ticket for my girlfriend last week, they only sold 10, and supposedly that's a fairly standard number for them to sell (though sometimes it's as high as 16, I was told). What you're talking about sounds less like SRO people, and more like people who just showed up late to the show and weren't allowed to sit down due to the no late seating policy. People who buy SR tickets have a specific SRO spot along with back, with a "seat" number and everything. I don't think they even COULD sell SR tickets that weren't in those designated spots if they wanted to.

I got there at about 4:45-ish on Friday (they began selling at 6). They were selling 10 tickets, and I got the last one. Well, technically there was one more since the person in front got randomly handed a free ticket by a woman whose friend cancelled, but if that random stroke of luck hadn't happened, my ticket would have been the last.
