So, I'm a little bit in love with this SOLD guy. And hey, if it's the same guy who is doing a stage door* line waiting (which I am still getting over that this is actually a thing now) in the tweet before this one, at least he's not gonna be disrupting anyone if he leaves standing room before the show is over.

*edit because 'stage door' and 'standing room' are different words.



Wondering how he managed this. Can you actually request one ticket plus one standing room?

Also the photo showed 2 orchestra seats plus SRO. One line sitter got 3 people, including himself, into the show? Or were there 2 line sitters?

Never had a problem with the line sitters until this past week. The demand was high enough that they essentially took over the Ham line, fair enough. It’s what the market will bear. But apparently someone high up at Nederlander and/or the RR had enough of a problem with the line situation that they instituted new rules. Again, fair enough. My problem began when the line dudes somehow became magically exempt from the very rules they caused to be implemented. Either hold everyone to the rules or no one. Regular people on the line have to go right into the theater with the tickets, but the line dudes get to leave and hand them over because they’re BFFs with the security guys? HELL NO.



I also think the attitude exhibited by whoever is running their Twitter account and the others who have created BWW accounts to come here and blast the rest of us is doing them no favors. The SOLD guys at least had a reputation for being good guys which someone is on their team is now ruining.



Great going.

Very well said.

I only see two tickets in that photo, one regular and one standing room? Where do you see three?



You're right! Stupid me, I didn't realise SRO was an actual ticket.

I've been trying to get into this show for a month already. I go there everyday and try to get tickets and I never get anywhere. I feel those homeless people ruined everything. I wish I knew of a line sitting service. Anyone know of one?

What do homeless people have to do with it? The sold sitters aren't homeless

I have been trying to get tickets everyday and I always see a long line. There are groups of people there with the same caps who are probably part of some college fraternity. I am referring to the 2 to 3 homeless people that I see way in the corner who appear unapproachable. I wasn't referring to the fraternity guys. I am strictly referring to the ones that appear to strung out and because I see people whom appear to be homeless is the reason I refuse to stand on that wait line.

steins, If that's what's really happening, I'd like to hear it from multiple people, not just one POV. I'd LIKE to believe that the rules are actually going to help. I don't want to rely on one person's take.

Can you send me their twitter link so I can contact them? I would like to use a line sitting service.

Honestly at this point, those who are interested in hiring 2 line sitters should really look into pairing up with people who want to wait in line and see the show, and pay for their tickets in exchange for their wait. So, if two people wait for four tickets, and then the two who didn't wait pay for all the tickets, it comes out to $354 per ticket for them - way cheaper than hiring two sitters, and the two fans who waited get to go for free!

I know this was already discussed, but I just wish there were a way to publicize it more because I feel that those considering hiring 2 sitters, or bringing a line sitter to the show with them if they just want one ticket, have probably not thought of this as an option.

"

How is that "circumventing" the rules, though? That appears to abide by all the of the rules: each person may buy up to two tickets. patrons may not swap out places on line. once a patron purchases tickets he/she must proceed directly into the theatre.

How do people proceed to the theater when the show doesn't start till the evening and the tickets were purchased earlier in the day?
