Frozen Tickets

Drea5 said: "I booked as trip to New York City for my daughter's birthday to see Frozen. When I looked at tickets for February 15 and 16 a few weeks ago, the seats I wanted were $109.50. I decided to wait, since I had seen some good discounts for closer dates. Now when I check, it appears that pretty much all of the most expensive orchestra seats have been purchased and, as a result, the seats I want are now $129.50. This happened for all four performances that weekend, but when I looked at every other weekend near that date (including over Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend in January), there are lots of seats available, and the same seats as the ones I want only cost $109.50. Is there something going on in New York City that weekend that would drive up ticket prices or that would make it so most of the center front orchestra seats are completely booked? I'm just trying to decide if I should purchase the seats at $129.50, or if the ticket prices might come back down. Thank you for your advice. This will be my first time purchasing tickets for a non-touring Broadway show."

No idea what would be driving that, but as others mentioned in other threads, Front Mezz are really excellent seats for this show which has more action on the stage floor with the graphics than other shows.

Probably depends on the age of your daughter, if she is on the really young side, front orchestra is probably better to keep her engaged, if shes a bit older and you don't think she will have attention issues, perhaps take a look at front mezz as an alternative.

This is most likely due to Feb 16, 2020 being the last show for the two female leads: (Straight from Patti Murin's Twitter account): "After almost 3 years, we'll be leaving Arendelle. Words cannot express how grateful we are to Disney, Jujamcyn & all of the exceptional people we get to work w/every single day. Strangers became friends, friends have become family & we will leave with full hearts Feb 16th, 2020"

Disagree emphatically re front orchestra. Even with a booster seat, if someone tall is in front of her, she ain't gonna see much. There is little to no rake in the St James orchestra. Mezzanine is the way to go with a child (assuming the child is young, even if not. The St. James has a great front mezzanine.

I agree, I don’t think the fact that it’s a holiday is affecting the prices/availability nearly as much as the fact that February 16th is the last show for the 2 faces of Frozen, Caissie Levy and Patti Murin, as well Joe Carroll’s last show, who plays Hans.
