I had called customer service and they told me traffic is not a problem

Apologies if this has been answered, but did anyone manage to find out where the different price points will be located in the theater?  I see the various prices on the website, but since there's no seating chart available, no way to know where the various seats will be based on the price point selected.  I'm on standby so sadly this probably won't even be relevant to me, but just in case I get a code, I would like to be as prepared as possible to purchase quickly!  I don't trust TM's seating chart purchase method (when TM gets overloaded, that seems to shut the whole process down - better off buying on the app or by price without picking your seat) so this is why I'm wondering if anyone has intel.  I'm guessing every second will count even if I'm lucky enough to get off standby, so I don't want to be clicking around.

Wondering if sitting up high it may obstruct something in some way with the top of the arch. I am thinking no since the Lyric is so big and it appears the balcony is farther back here than in Lomdon. Just a thought."

They're taking out seats at the Lyric and I don't think it's been said where from. However, the Palace in London has a small orchestra section but the levels seemed higher than the Lyric (Think how high up the balcony of the St James here).

If you don't mind "curtain" spoilers, you can look at the views at this website from different seats:

They're selling tickets for an 8-month block, and this is a huge theater, so there are a lot more tickets available for this than there were for Springsteen. Also, not everyone who got a code will end up using it, and not everyone who got a code will buy 6 tickets. These things make me optimistic that people on stand-by will get a chance to buy tickets. I have no idea if this will turn out to be true, but I think there's reason to be hopeful.

I just really want to skip to 48 hours from now and see if I’m ecstatic or devestated.

I haven't read through everything on the initial sale, so please excuse if this has already been covered. I recall in the entry for the Onsale, I was asked the number of tickets I wanted (I entered 2) and whether I wanted to see Parts 1 & 2 on the same day/consecutive nights (I entered yes). If I go in Wednesday and try to vary from this, e.g.,, try to buy 6, will it bounce me down to 2?  

Access code is going to be valid for 2-1/2 hours. Does this mean you have to log in between Start time and Start time+2-1/2 hours, Or does it mean that after you log in, after 2-1/2 hours, you're booted out.

Didn't get a Springsteen code,and hopeful I will be able to buy HP tix. Agree with other posters that the process should be limited to screening out the bots, then let ALL buyers who are not bots get a code for the sale and then let's have at it Wednesday, all at once at 11 am EST, no staggered entry. 

I'm super excited.

Please I need 2 for Memorial Day weekend.   I am willing to pay for your inconvenience and kindness.

I was lucky enough to get an access code.  I live in NYC, so I have more flexibility with dates, but April is a good month for me in terms of availability.  Is there any downside to going to previews instead of after April 25th?

I am in total SHOCK and overwhelmed! I totally forgot that these emails were going out today, cus you know I didn't expect to get a code. So when someone on my FB mentioned it and I looked. It ended up in my junk mail but there it was! I'm getting a code!

I have not even started to think about dates or price or if I would want a single day or a two day or how many tickets to get. I did NOT expect this and now I have less than 48 hours to figure it out. Thank goodness I am off work on Wednesday.

I am one of the lucky few that will be getting a code Wednesday, unfortunately I’ll be at work so I’m going to have to do it from my phone. The email says it’s preferred to use a laptop, so hopefully it won’t be too much of a hassle this way

I recall it saying on the site something along the lines of how you would be able to purchase more or less then the number you originally entered.

It means you have 2.5 from the start of your window. So if you are in the group that starts at 11am, you will have to have used the code by 1:30 or it will no longer work. If you were to log in at 1:25, you would have 5 minutes to use the code.

I was a bit worried about this also. I think it says laptop or desktop. I used my tablet so gonna stick with that sknce that is where my info is saved.

I read that over 400 seats are being/have been removed in the restructuring of the Lyric for Harry Potter. While that still makes the Lyric a large theater, it will be 400 seats smaller than usual.

Folks are buying and selling access codes and hooking up to get seats.  Like access code scalping!   This is really funny!  

These are desperate times Mrs Lovett and desperate measures must be taken. 

Lol

I mean, it would like any other show in previews. Things might happen, technically or timing-wise, as the cast and crew work things out, especially with the "magical" elements.

They start rehearsals mid-January, so they have two months to rehearse technically two different shows. Since the British cast members are the ones who do most of the "magical" elements they would be used to doing those since I honestly believe those would be the technically tricky part.

After previews, they'll probably get their groove down pat. :)

agh, i'm on standby super bummed about this but hopefully i'll be one of the random people who gets a code. i just need one ticket! (

Tomorrow's the big day! Good luck everybody.

 

Trying to figure out a couple underloved plays I should see instead if I can't get tickets for next March. Hahah. Children of a Lesser God? Travesties? 

[macnyc]

Posted: 10/17/17 at 10:01am

So I have a dumb question. If they say that tickets range from $20 to $199 (not considering premium), is that for one part of the play or for both?

Also, for anyone who doesn't get a code, the 40 for $40 might come in handy! Details are on the official site.

I had a problem with this for the initial Springsteen sale.   I couldn't get the code/link to work on my computer....only on my phone where the text was.    Anyone have thoughts on this?

[WhizzerMarvin]

Posted: 10/17/17 at 10:10am

Yes, and I assume the $20/part is the 40 for $40 deal, meaning there will not be $20 tickets for purchase tomorrow. It's like Hamilton says they have tickets starting at $10.

It says there will be 150 tickets per performance available at $20 and 300 tickets per performance for $40.

Ok that's for that info. So that's in addition to the 40 for $40? 

I don't like how little info they've given out about the pricing, pricing areas, new theater configuration, etc. I was lucky enough to receive a code, but it's been difficult planning with friends about which tickets to get.
