Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Seating/Pricing Thread — Page 56

CookAj said: "Well, after reading through this entire thread about seating, I think I'm going to stick with my Orchestra D aisle tickets. I could get N aisle tickets right now, but I think my kids will feel more immersed in the action close up. And there's always booster seats. :)"

CookAj, having sat in rows E and L, I agree with your decision. I preferred the closer view for being able to see facial expressions so clearly, especially for a few scenes that I found quite moving and with this fantastic principal cast. At the same time, I do understand why some people would prefer being farther back (not saying more here on purpose).

Definitely not. I refuse to understand how thousands of cinemas across the country can do this correctly, but Broadway can’t accept losing one or two seats per row to give human-sized people a couple of extra inches. 

Otherwise, it was a beautiful theatre and an astonishingly perfect show. 

Barbra said: "Wow, if anyone can go this coming Wednesday, some Dress Circle Center Row A seats at $165 per part have been released on Ticketmaster. Have to assume that those are usually $299."

For this past Wednesday, they had dress circle row A seats 105 and 107 available for only $130! Unfortunately I didn’t jump on them fast enough. I also saw Orchestra rows K and N also for $130. This was about a week prior to the show. 

So for those that want premium tickets at a non-premium price and are flexible with dates, be persistent with checking Ticketmaster in the weeks and days before you want to go. I’ve noticed this to be a trend the last few weeks.

if only I lived in NYC or close enough to commute in...

Just pulled up 5/2, Dress Circle Row A Seats 120-121 at $165/each. Best seats in the house, in my opinion. Very tempted to buy them, but they're released!

I sat in the balcony box seat and it was a pretty good view. You can see faces and everything. You just have to lean a bit, but if you don’t you only miss the very front corner, so it isn’t bad. I imagine the dress circle one is better than the balcony one.
Also,  $130 per part tickets are available for Wednesday dress circle row a seat 2 and 4! Great seat it seems!!

edit: it seems to actually be 4 tickets available row a 2-8

If anyone is interested there is a $40 per part seat in row r of the orchestra for tomorrow’s performance. There is also 2 $80 per part seats for Thursday/ Friday. The $40 per part is in my cart right now I’ll release it in 2 minutes!!

Apples and oranges.  Even the biggest blockbusters will have empty seats during its opening weekend, so the "lost" seats don't lose money.   The number of screenings per day eliminates any lost revenue by reducing the number of seats to accommodate larger seats.  For Broadway theatres where shows are expected to run significantly longer than a movie release and have a very limited number of performances pet week,  those "missing" seats could cost thousands per night in lost revenue (maybe even tens of thousands,  for a show like Hamilton or Harrry Potter).

2 tickets available on ticketmaster.... for May 12th Sec DRESSL, Row D, Seat 5 - 7

$130 per part

Amazing deal for next week on Ticketmaster - May 10/11 orchestra row G seats 9 and 11, $130 per part!

Thanks to the advice in this thread, earlier this evening I was able to get two tickets for both parts this Sunday, row H of the orchestra for $40 each! To say I'm excited is an understatement!
