For future reference if anyone wants to know where the "best" seats money can buy are, I would bet they are center aisle (and a few seats in either direction) Orchestra Row G and H. That is where JKR and the rest of the main creative team sat for the opening yesterday.

Those are the best seat no money can buy then, since those are the location of the house seats.

Yes that's probably true, didn't think of it like that!

Pricing makes 0 sense, for accessible tickets, L 107 is $20/part but right L 6 is $130/part? you would think 107 would be the better seat, right?

I sat in H 8 in the orchestra and it was an amazing seat

H14 is currently available for this Thursday and Friday

I've posted about this before, but will post again. I have a $40 per part ticket for June 24th, a Sunday, and it is in Row G in the Center Balcony on the aisle. I'd love to switch with anyone that has a $40 or $20 per part ticket for June 27th or for June 28th/29th. Please let me know if you'd be willing, thanks!

Accessible seating is all over the place for Broadway, especially in theaters where there is no option to go in the mezz or such, so they often make the accessible seating they have more rewarding to people who buy earlier. Like when I took my grandmother to see Hello Dolly, we paid $89/seat, and were on the aisle. The seats next to ours were more expensive. But, the lower prices accessible seats were harder to find, so I think it's a case of rewarding people who buy earlier? I don't take my grandmother to enough shows, but that was the reasoning I came up with.

According to the ADA there should be seating in every price point, so maybe they had to put cheap seats in the mezz b/c they cant get accessible seating in the balc?

No, that is what I meant, some theaters put all price points in the same location, such as the orchestra, but don't just put the best seats center, and the lower/cheaper seats off to the side. So, you can get some good deals with accessible seating if you book early. My grandmother is 95, though, so I don't bring her to a ton of shows, heh. Only Dolly and MFL coming up.

I feel like the system is just encouraging those who aren’t disabled to buy a pair of crutches and show up with a nice cheap ticket

You can either try to sell it on here, then transfer the ticket on Ticketmaster, or, if you want to sell it on StubHub, you'd have to change the delivery to Will Call, then pick the ticket up at the theatre, and take it to the StubHub office at Broadway and 39th to list it. In order to sell mobile tickets on StubHub, the seller has to be approved after submitting a formal request.

Crutches would be a challenge, since you don't typically know you're going to have them a few months in advance. And short term, fewer people worry about booking theater tickets with them...

Telecharge usually calls you to make sure you know there won't be a chair there, since it is a wheelchair seat, as their way to try and filter some scammers out.

While not "technically" allowed. I have been known to take a screenshot of a mobile ticket, open it as an image on my desktop, and print off a PDF of it and list that on StubHub. Tickets sold, and I never heard back that it was a problem... proceed with caution, though. This is NOT their official procedure.

I will be there tomorrow (for the Wednesday marathon) if anyone is also here, come by and say hi, PM me! I’ll be in dress circle row L seat 107!

i would love to chat with some fellow broadway fans and Potter heads. It would be fun to discuss the shows during intermissions.

A little off topic, but does anyone know if the Opening Night Playbills (excuse me, Showbills) had the "Opening Night" silver sticker on them?  I know some shows use them and some don't.  Thanks!

Yes, they did :)

Hmm, they are for sale? But weird to buy a collectible that wasn't even a legitimate opening night thing.

I have two tickets in the orchestra (Row R) to Parts 1 and 2 for tomorrow (Wednesday, April 25) that I can no longer use (sick kid).  They're mobile tickets, so I would have to transfer them to you via my Ticketmaster account.  I paid $210 per ticket per part face value ($840 total), but I'd be willing to sell them for $180 per ticket per part ($720 total).  Please PM me if interested.
