I've returned 3 sets of tickets in my similar quest to choose the best seats - no problems at all and my credit card was credited quickly (fees and all). They've made that process quite easy. Used chat each time.

Dont know if you decided yet but I’ve sat in both Orchestra C 1 and Orchestra J 2.

It really depends on your preference. I loved seating up close because I felt a part of the show. Whereas Row J was better to see the whole production not just small intricate details.

Just returned a ticket for April 14, DRESSC, Row L, Seat 128. $155 a part.

I'd go with StubHub or Seatgeek over this, if they have tickets. This seems to be an overpriced scalper.

Or perhaps call Ticketmaster?!

I said this because it always said ERROR, but when I VPN to the States it worked --- until the last step when I tried to pay , it just didn't accept my country'scredit card (Taiwan). I can only travel to NYC in July. I guess it'll be too late to secure any ticket after I arrive.

Have you tried using the website on data? Ticketmaster has advised me to not use Wi-Fi connection and it might work. Otherwise, you should try to call the International Sales Line (949 333 4001) to attempt your putchase.

Do you know anyone in the U.S.? If you do, they should be able to purchase tickets for you, then transfer them to your Ticketmaster account.

Knox Lee said: "Dear Tito3, thank you very much for your reply. Guess what? I have tried both ways as well. See why I said I was frustrated?
Wifi or direct connection, I kept getting the following:

We apologize, something went wrong. So that you do not have to start over, please only refresh this page by using the Try Again button below.

GO BACK

TRY AGAIN

#10000"

I'm frustrated because as I had mentioned, once I tried to VPN my location as in the States, the error message was gone --- except in the last stage the "something went wrong" message popped up again when I tried to pay.

And I had called --- Harry Potter tickets cannot be purchased through phone. Only through their website. "

They will help you over the phone if you are having problems with payment. I was having problems once with the final payment page throwing me an error and the agent helped me with the ticket in my cart. If you get an unhelpful agent, just try calling again.

I tried going through a lot of the threads but I didn’t really find an answer yet so wondering if anyone can comment on the Dress cir L and R seats that are all the way to the side. People are saying “no bad seats in the theatre” but the Dress circle looks curved so I would assume some action might be missed by the seats closer to the edge? But Ticketmaster sold them as prime seats at $199 and so I would appreciate any intel from people that seen the show already and had similar seats. Ticketmaster also just recently release premium dress circle center seat for my day in Row B, but I don’t know if I really want to spend an extra $200 if the side seats are already decent. Like some people are saying.. the return ticket policy can be a blessing and a curse."

Can you clarify what Row in the Dress Circle currently have?

I just sat in this row on Saturday - Dress Circle Right Row A. These are the seats that I was given after winning the Friday Forty. Only Row A is curved around to the sides. I thought the seats were fine. From the right side, I didn't miss any action at all. As for distance, I was probably about as far away as about mid Orchestra Row M-N in that range. FWIW, I would not pay $200 more if that the difference between these side seats and Dress Circle Center.

If you're asking which seats are currently available for sale on Ticketmaster, there's a bunch of days with Row B/C Dress Circle center for May. Premium though at $299/pp

To be honest, they weren’t amazing as everyone’s heads were in the way (so I don’t really agree there are no bad seats). The Dress Circle wasn’t raked enough there and while I’m short and had no qualms going and grabbing a booster seat, my almost 6 foot husband had to use one as well as we couldn’t see over the two rows in front of us. Using a booster seat was definitely new for him! Once we had the booster seats, I could see 95% of the stage, minus the super tall gentleman’s head two rows in front of me who blocked upper stage left. I also agree you can’t see any of the actor’s faces from there.


HOWEVER, all being said and done, by the time the show started and everything began happening, I didn’t care about anything besides the fact that I was there and witnessing some of the most glorious staging I’ve ever seen. I loved absolutely every second, and would not necessarily choose those seats again, but if I had to, I’d endure TWO booster seats for that show."

Thanks for your comments! I'm a bit upset because my tickets are in the same row. I'll be sure to get booster seats. Still, it seems odd that we'll need to do that!
