I have 2 free tickets to the opening tomorrow that I cannot use. Anyone that wants them, FOR FREE (obviously), can message me and I'll transfer them, yada yada yada. Upset I can't make it but don't want the seats to go empty. They are in the center front mezz.

Edit: they have been claimed!

If anyone else has tickets which will go unused, I'd gladly take them off your hands.

I'm going Saturday! Coming from Illinois and am super excited. Unfortunately I have four extra tickets, paid face value of $99.50 and now I am trying to sell for less. PM me or mail me at [e-mail] if anyone wants to make an offer. I'd love to get $75 each at this point, Unfortunately they are physical tickets, so I'd have to meet you somewhere after I arrive Friday afternoon or Saturday before the show.

They're currently holding the show due to technical difficulties. Stopped it right after the opening!

Still holding. Turntable issues.

 

They're giving free drinks at the bar now.

Are you serious?  It's the first preview and you've already condemned the show for having tech issues?

I wonder if they'll restart from the beginning.....and then stop due to technical difficulties....then start from the beginning...then stop due to technical difficulties...then start from the beginning.....

:)

(if they pull the show tonight & invite people to a future performance. maybe they can turn this bit of irony into some brilliant marketing?...)
