Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Seating/Pricing Thread — Page 13

I got J 31 which I'm assuming is on the end, but I'm hopeful that they're not obstructing. I'm thinking they probably removed the center section to make sure most if not all seats were not obstructed. I'm just happy to be seeing the show! All will be well with everything! :)

I was scrolling through dates for the next year, skipping June and July, and found quite a few dates with availability, but none in my price range (everything was $165+ per part). I was only looking for singles though. If anyone is interested and is willing to comb through dates, you could probably grab a single for both parts for around $350. CT2NYC is right that there isn't much til the fall. Prior to September, I found that $600 one in April, and a few in August.

Heather, I asked the Lyric's Facebook page and they responded saying it went up to 35.

2 tickets available on Ticketmaster for Sunday, August 19. Dress circle center row L, seats 108-109, $165 per part. Will hold for a few minutes in case anyone on here is interested. If you are, let me know.

Well, this ticket order process was a disaster. On the initial Thursday ticket release, I waited through the queue, selected my date, put in the CVV code on the site, and got the message "Something went wrong. Try again." Which I did for four other dates, receiving this same message, and gave up. I then checked my debit card account only to find all five of these tries DID GO THROUGH. So I was charged about $1700 for tickets to five pairs of performances. WTF - no email notification or receipt was sent for these purchases

I do think this happened to lots of people, because Ticketmaster customer support (which of course was difficult to get to a REAL person) was very accommodating and is going to fully refund the four purchases I did not really want. However, it takes 3-5 business days to get a refund.

Lesson learned - probably don't use your checking account to make a purchase like this!

However, I am going to see the plays on Saturday, August 18. My ticket was regular price - Balcony Left, Row A, Seat 21. Like others, I have no idea how far to the left this seat really is . . . but I am in Row A and should hopefully have a great view of the proceedings.

Good lord I hate Ticketmaster so much.

Can someone who has seen this in London explain why it was necessary to remove 400 seats from the orchestra section of the Lyric? From the stage pictures I've seen, there doesn't appear to be any physical aspect of the set that intrudes into the orchestra area.

Danielle49 said: "I'm not familiar with the London system, but I'd assume that there won't even be a resale option for this show. With the ability to return tickets to TM for a full refund, there's no valid reason to allow buyers to resell."

The London system was WAY more hardcore - once you bought tickets, you could not transfer them, and you had to present a valid ID and the credit card you used to buy the tickets to get the physical tickets. There was a queue day-of the show to pick the tickets up. No electronic tickets whatsoever. I'm trying to remember whether or not you also had to show ID to get in the door with the ticket - if anyone else was in London, do you recall?

So.... as far as I can tell, the American system is pretty soft by just not allowing resale

I messaged the Lyric Theatre on Facebook asking where my seat in Orchestra Y 37 is and if the view would be obstructed either from the dress circle overhang or from being too far to the side. They said that my seat is on the aisle but the view isn't obstructed at all.

So now we know row Y goes up to 37.

LesWickedly said: "The "no obstruction at all" response just seems to be protocol for now, but we shall see how true that is."

Yes, I have a feeling they're just saying that since it isn't labeled as an obstructed view seat in their system yet. I can't imagine that the view wouldn't be somewhat obstructed at least from the dress circle overhang. Can't wait until people start posting views from their seats.
