Great Comet Discount#1

Posted: 5/27/16 at 3:40pm

Someone in a Facebook group I'm a member of posted something about a discount for Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 that included "onstage banquettes normally priced at $199 going for $79 until Saturday while other orchestra seats are discounted at $95 but are regularly $149" and later said it was "sent to [him] by ART Cambridge." He hasn't been forthcoming with any codes or anything, does anyone have any details or codes they could share? (if this is true, though I was doubtful to begin with.)

Not that I know of, and I've been a subscriber for a few years now.  But if it was a mailer, it might have slipped my attention, damnit!  I'll look when I get home!

If the offer for $79 onstage banquettes is expiring tomorrow, I really need to get my hands on that. That's an amazing deal.

I don't know how similar the stage setup is to ART, but I assume the onstage banquettes are pretty good seats to have a regular price of $199, right?

Anyone know if the Imperial is actually selling tickets for this? I'm assuming not, but I like to purchase tickets in person since Telecharge's fees are far too high for online purchases.

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

I can't seem to find a date they are available for. Has anyone seen a day with a lot of tickets left on stage?

I found them for a date in January. Availability seems more limited for October and November.

Actually I just grabbed an on-stage banquette for a Wednesday evening performance in October. Maybe you need to limit your search to a specific date since the telecharge system is godawfully slow and bugged.

I searched the onstage banquettes for all weekend performances and the first date that came up was Saturday evening, January 7th (although I'm sure weekdays have more availability). 

I bought my ticket and am excited to see this show again (and with an onstage seat). Thanks for the heads up!

Yeah, when I searched by range of dates, every date in October and November said no offer seats were available. Then when I tried searching by single dates, there were banquette tickets on one of the October dates.

Yup...on my way home, I found the info...y'all are too fast for me!

I was able to get 3 seats for February.  (I had already purchased orchestra seats for November!)   Gee, hope we still love it!

Thanks so much for this!  Bought 5 onstage tickets for Sunday January 8!  Guess I will sell my full price orchestra seats.  I hope I am able to get back what I paid!

Just wanted to thank everyone. I was able to snag two seats on stage for my husband and I for our anniversary in Oct.

So bummed that the $79 stage seats are sold out or unavailable for the dates I'll be in town in January 2017 (New Year for Matilda closing and the last weekend of January for BroadwayCon). I can't justify $199 a seat, but I also would really love to sit onstage; I saw the show when the tent was in the empty lot on 45th and I can't imagine sitting in orchestra or mezz when the immersive seating that the original staging offered is available.

Picked up an onstage seat for November 9th at 8! This is my most anticipated show of the fall and I cannot wait to see it.

I seriously doubt if that many people will be willing to pay $299 ea. for a show that is not Hamilton and it doesn't look like an easy job for the theater to find enough butts to fill the on-stage tables every night. Holding out hope that future discount will include this section.

Based on the seating chart, I'd guess the view would be pretty similar to ART. I was in a lower side banquette (it looks like those don't exist for this, only the rows) and my guess is depending on location, the main area that may not be visible is the hall when the doors are open upstage, but that would only affect the view as characters are in the process of entering or exiting the stage. I just grabbed a banquette seat at that price for the onstage experience again.

Thanks for sharing this discount! There were only a few dates left this evening but my schedule is flexible so I was able to grab an on stage banquette for Nov 1. That's a great price! Does anyone have experience with/insight into how the seating will be assigned? It said the banquettes are GA but then said seating would be assigned when your ticket is generated/delivered. Is it random? I can't complain because the price is great, but I don't know that I would want to be in the last row.

I like a good rhyme more than a good time
