Grey Gardens Balcony#1

Posted: 1/19/07 at 6:31pm

Hey all. I am traveling to NYC over late March and wanted to pick up tickets to see GG on the 30th. I have a couple questions, however, and I figured this would be the best place to ask. Thanks in advance for the help!

Regarding balcony seats, can you only pick these up at the Box Office on day of performance? Similarly, are these seats good? Can you see clearly? Also, because I am going over the Spring Break time frame, what do you think my chances are of picking up seats for the balcony? At TKTS?

Thanks again all!

You should easily be able to obtain these seats from the box office. Although it is much better to get seats in the mezzanine via TKTS, the balcony is fine. You can see everything despite a few head cutoffs Act 2 (Entering Grey Gardens, Choose To Be Happy), but as long as you sit forward in your chair you will be able to see fine.

Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...

Great. You think I wouild have any trouble using TKTS even though it will be Spring Break? Obviously I would much prefer Orch or Mezz seats. Thanks!

How is the rear of the mezzanine for this show? I have a discount code for $35 mezzanine seats in rows G-J. Would I be better off taking those or getting the balcony for the same price?

rear mezz is better. keep in mind, the theatre is small so it has an intimate feel to it. TKTS for gg should be fine around spring break I think. I can't give you a direct answer but it HAS been up on the boards lately.

does anyone know how early we should get there for the balcony seats? i know they go on sale when the box office opens. are they limited quantity so we should arrive a few hours before the box office opens? if we rush another show and walk over after we get those tickets, do you think they'll still have balcony seats left? thanks!

I was at a Saturday matinee a few weeks ago.
The orchestra was about 2/3 full, the mezz was barely 1/4 full and the balcony was empty. I say, show up whenever. You'll get in.

Everytime I've bought balcony tickets, I've always been moved to the rear mezz. so I can't really say how the view is from there.

When I saw this, the ushers encouraged folks to move up into empty seats. I would recommend buying the cheapest seats available, then moving up.
