They exist, I have a pair that were $165 per part in Row U

I guess I meant center-ish. I know there is only a right & left section, but my understanding was that the $199 seats were the few seats to the farthest sides of the house, and that center-ish (center overall) seats were all in the higher range.



Your $199 row U seats might end up being better than my $199 row E seats then if the extreme right/left seats near the front miss action on the sides of the stage.

I have a feeling that your row E seats will be great. In the pics of the theatre before the renovation, the extreme side seats in the front orchestra didn't extend beyond the sides of the proscenium, as they do at many other theatres. I can't imagine that they will after the renovation, either, considering that there appear to be fewer seats.

Actually I haven't seen many posters with even premium seats in the orchestrawith low numbers. I realize we are a small microcosm of total ticket buyers, but I'm noticing most of us with orchestra seats in the first 15 or so rows all have high-ish numbered tickets. I have $299 tickets in M, seats 22 and 24, and I know that 26 in that row is $199 (which will make me nuts, but whatever). Most posters have even higher seat numbers, and even the $299s seem to be around 20-24 or in dress circle.

Does anyone have orchestra seats that are closer to the center aisles but not super far back in the orchestra? I'm wondering if there are still seats they haven't released. Where are all the seats numbered between 1-20?"

I have a $299 per part orchestra K19 seat for May. It conflicts with some other shows I already have tickets for, so I will have to do some juggling and pay more to reschedule those shows if I want to keep that seat. I also have two far side orchestra row J seats for $199 per part for October. It’s been frustrating to try to find a seat for my narrow date ranges (coming from California) for a good price. But I’m happy to have some options.

I have Row F, Seat 5 for the show in August. In addition to the Friday 40 (which is 40 seats per performance), I have no doubt they are holding back some additional seats closer to the stage (perhaps as house seats for sale to celebrities and officials and so on), which may be released if gone unused."

Well done - great seat! I agree it seems some of the seats closer to stage and center weren't offered for sale But coming from out of state I don't get the luxury of hoping for late release so I'll take my side-ish seats and just be happy I'm there! I was just curious if many others had better luck especially at the $299 price point.

I’m just really happy that I’ll be close enough to see their faces. That being said, I will be returning my 6/16 seat Row V 31. Not the most desireable, but giving everyone a heads up. It was $165 per part. "

I too have row F for June 6, and I have seats 25-27. I posted earlier that I had messaged the theatre and they told me I had aisle seats at the end of the section, and that they were NOT obstructed. They proceeded to tell me that I had “Great seats”.

But I’m with you. I’m a bit worried as well I thought about paying for premium seats, but I couldn’t justify spending $1200+ for this. Hopefully the seats aren’t too bad. By my calculation I have the 13th and 14th seat in the row. Depending on the width of the aisle, I think the seats will be fine.

Wick, I love you! Thanks for this sorta confirmation and the seats should even be better with the remodel. Even more excited now.

I'm buying tickets all the way out in December (just worked better for my schedule, and no reason to think it won't still be original cast, given usual year long contracts), and there still aren't any aisle seats on the central aisle of orchestra, even at premium prices (when I can find them).

In ticket return and limits news, Ticketmaster responded to my request to explain where it says that a returned ticket still counts toward your limit of 6 (for those who don't want to go back, the basics are: purchased two tickets during initial public sale - the one with the "waiting room" and queue lottery, then purchased 4 more tickets one at a time - attempting to get better seats, and returned one in hopes of purchasing a different ticket, only to be told that a returned ticket would not allow me to "renew my code" )

The response email to me, which is still taking less than 24 hours, so good on them, said that the email in which my "code" came said it was only good for one time use. Well... I never had a code, I bought all tickets after tickets went public. I honestly don't even know how they're tracking it, unless just with name/address. I tried different email/credit card, and then on a whim tried clearing all my cookies and trying again, and it still didn't work.

I responded and told them I didn't have a code, I never had a code, and asked what exactly they were referring to. Will keep this thread updated if they reverse my ticket-buying prohibition!!!
