Second this!! I think I've seen that through StubHub people have gotten tickets priced under $100. Like much lower!"
Thanks. But, I don't know how long I can wait for StubHub prices to drop (lowest currently is 160). If it were just me, I'd wait, but D is pretty insistent. The only other times I've bought tickets way ahead of time were for Cats back in 2000 (for older D whom I had promised to take to see it thinking that Cats was forever, only it wasn't, so we had to take her to NYC). and then Matilda and Pippin in 2013 (again at younger D's insistence). I'm looking at the Mezzanine Rows G and H which on the official site are currently 119 (plus fees)."
The mezzanine at the Kerr is great -- $119 orG and H is not awful, especially if it's in the center. I would definitely choose that over the rear orchestra, which has a very low overhang (and probably costs more, anyway).
The other thing I'll note is that this production, like many of its peers in Jujamcyn theaters, uses theTicketmaster dynamic pricing algorithm. What that often meansis that unsold seats drop dramatically in price one or two weeks out. I just bought$79 seats for this weekthat are selling for $159 two weeks out, and $179 a month out. That, of course, also requires waiting, and for the show to not be selling terribly well on the night(s) you want to go. But in this day and age, you can always keep an eye on the seating charts for your desired performance(s) on the Ticketmaster website or app, and if it's starting to look tight, you can always pull the trigger at full price (though those $119 guys may be gone).
Judging by what those seating charts look like now, I imagine you'll be able to find some seats for less a week or two out, but perhaps not 5 together, and of course you won't have the peace of mind of knowing you're in. Soit really just depends what your priorities are."
Thanks, Pashcar! Yes, given the priority on seeing this show and travel, the "peace of mind" factor is larger than normal. I'll keep looking. From A View From My Seat, it looks like Hades' office is more stage right, so I think I'd prefer to be, if not center, than on the right side of auditorium (stage left). It also looks like light standards may block view on the extreme sides.
