I waited about 13 minutes to get in, and I went right to April 2019. There were $20 and $40 seats available for weekends in Row F and H in the balcony, but I dithered too much and lost them. I ended up with $40 seats for a Thursday/Friday for Row F in the center balcony.

That seems highly optimistic for this show. If you live in the city and can be at the show on 15 minutes notice, then sure, but unlike a lot of the shows with wobbly secondary markets, this show is solid and popular enough that if a ticket is reduced to full price, people will happily scoop it up.

Picked up one of the $40 seats in Balc Row F for St. Patrick's Day next year. We had seats acquired during an earlier ticket release for this May, but returned them due to the price point. Wasn't a fan of the script at all when it came out (read far too fanfiction-y for me), but between the reviews and the comments on this board figure it's worth seeing due to the performances/"magic".

Got seats for May 5th 2019, balcony row B, $170. Definitely more than I would have liked to have paid, but it's over a year from now so that helped calm my buyer's remorse.

crock of crap. phone was no help. had a $40x2 show ticket in my cart and it failed. can't find that price point at this point. so glad virtual queue helps! smh

For future ticket sales, I think the key is getting into the virtual queue with multiple devices. I ended up with queue numbers approximately 4,000 / 13,000 / 25,000 / 34,000
I used my phone, tablet, and two computers!
I got lucky with that 4,000 queue number and scored two $20 Balcony row H seats for next April!

1. Is row B too close? I have row F orchestra tickets on the far left aisle, and I can get row B 2-3 seats from center aisle. Which do you all think would be better.
2. Are they still giving full refunds on returned tickets?
Thanks!"
Row B gives you an amazing view. My head was slightly tilted up but not straining I did see bit of the ~magic~ hat that you can't see from farther back, but I didn't mind. Row F is going to be basically as amazing, imo, so it's up to you if it's worth it, especially if there's a difference in price.
I've posted pictures of my view on my instagram (same username as here) and I also posted my pictures on aviewfrommyseat.com if you want to see for yourself.

Only option was $170 a part by the time I got in.
Better luck next time.

I sat in row A on Saturday, and thought it was an amazing seat.

I ended up switching from Row A Seat 1 to Row B Seat 1. The smallest change, I know, but Row B seat 1 extends out past Row A, so there will be no seat in front of me. I can’t wait! I also had a mini heart attack when trying to return Row A Seat 1 because they said they didn’t offer refund la and I told them that for this show they do allow refunds. I went to the site to just make sure and they had removed the section about returns, causing me to freak out, but thankfully they chat guy responded saying it was their mistake and I was put at ease.

I'm not sure I'd want to be that far away from the action, but to each his own...
