Hadestown tickets (Seatgeek)

I am trying to find tickets for Hadestown and does anyone know why ticket prices veer so wildly between seats in similar sections?

For the dates I am looking at orchestra seats range from $99 - $249 in the same row.

Same thing with mezzanine seats.

What gives?

Not sure if this is what you mean, but pricing the seats closest to center as premium, while the far side seats in the same row are much cheaper is a pretty standard practice. I wouldn't look into it too much. Also, wheelchair accessible and their companion seats are generally priced much lower.

Seatgeek is the worst experience I have ever had regarding purchasing anything in the entertainment industry. Just please make sure you don't have to exchange because they don't understand how and the organization that hired them is just as useless in regards to helping you. Good luck.

Here's what you need to do to look at face value tickets only:

1. Clickon a date.

2. Next, above the list of available tickets you will see "Official Box Office + Verified Resale" with a downward pointing arrow. Click on that, and you'll see just "Official Box Office." Click on that, and you'll see only face value tickets.

The fact that SeatGeek makes the Box office + resale tickets the default choice is beyond deceptive."

Ok thank you! I'm going to do that. What a counterintuitive website.

I am now looking at November dates.Much more affordable.

Are you using the app? I don’t see it in there either but on my mobile web browser it pops up right away (official box office + verified resale, select this and a drop down appears) before you select a quantity. Try using SeatGeek from the web browser or a computer

As far as I can recall, Hadestown tickets have always beenheavily variable in price. I've seen the same seats on the same nights fluctuate from $90-$400 just depending on how close to the show it was"

Interesting, I didn't know that. I saw it on 9/11/19 and prices were much less expensive that day. I get why but I didn't know aboutthe "varies greatly in general"thing.

"

They do vary but I’ve never seen seats with that range sold through Ticketmaster with that difference and I’ve seen Hadestown 10+ times. I will say though a few times I’ve waited until day before to buy my seat from Ticketmaster. Once even on the train to NYC. The price did drop from when I first checked the seat to purchase. Cheaper the day before vs a week before? Sure. But never hundreds of dollars.


Unless they’re talking about resale? If that’s the case, yes. Resale jacks up the price to hopefully make a profit. But closer to show, the price drops to almost nothing.

100% ^

It's HIS role.

Excellent. The men seem to have great attendance in that show.

Jordan, my Post #6 above offered instructions on how to select "box office only" when using a computer. You can also use the same procedure to see the option when using your browser on a mobile device. (I can see it on my iPhone using Safari.) However, I've searched all over the mobile app and can not find that option. To me, this is a big flaw in their app.

Yes they are the worst. Telecharge employees always knew what they were doing and what was going on. Telecharge has great customer service. Ticketmaster suck too.
