Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Seating/Pricing Thread — Page 57

I wish I could find $40 or $80 tickets. I search every day and the lowest price I’ve found is $130 per part. The website is very slow. I wish there was an easier way to search without having to check every date.

He is indeed a very generous and thoughtful guy.

Seats for today and tomorrow K 1-3 available for 130/ part

E5 is no doubt the better seat, but keep in mind price, and dates that could impact which one you pick

That seems, shall I say, f*cked up.

Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled for the locals/people close enough to NYC to watch the ticket releases as shows get closer, but as someone who is making the trip from out of state and can't play those odds, I do find this pricing/holding back extremely frustrating. My tickets are for June - I bought $299 tickets very begrudgingly, but I wanted decent seats in the orchestra for height and vision reasons, and my daughter gets dizzy in balconies so I didn't have much of a choice. If I had the ability to wait it out, those tickets (frankly, even better seats) can now apparently be had for $130. That's a $600+ difference for two tickets. Because I'd have to return my tickets within 28 days of the show date, I presumably will not get the benefit of these price drops because they will happen too late.

For those of us coming from out of town who aren't willing to play the odds and/or only have one day of their trip that isn't filled with another show (because that's what we come for and we plan in advance), it's admittedly a little infuriating given these prices and the huge $$ difference involved. But again, great for those who live in or can get to NYC easily and have date flexibility - can't begrudge you guys.

If you bought your tickets prior to April then you can return your tickets 14 or more days before your show date. I returned and booked new ones just this week. It took a couple phone calls to find someone that actually looked at the old/new refund policy but they were able to process it. We moved from row J dress circle to row C orchestra for $5 more per person per part.

Like you, we are traveling to see the show and do not have a lot of flexibility with dates. I played the ticket game with verified fan, waiting rooms, long queues etc to get mediocre seats at a very high price. I was disappointed to see better seats being gradually released.

Other thoughts, while you are on the phone with Ticketmaster, buy your new tickets before cancelling your old. (The agent was happy to wait while I did this. She understood my fears!) Also, you can’t purchase a total of more than 6 tickets through any one Ticketmaster account. So, if you bought and returned 4, you could only buy 2 more on with that account. You may need a second account to make the other purchase.

I purchased my current tickets (I returned a few pairs as better seats were released) after April 3 so I’m in the 28 day return policy rather than 14. I’m very happy with the seats but it would be great if I could pay $130 rather than $299 for similar seats. I plan to keep looking but by mid-May my return window will be closed, unfortunately. I’m not optimistic I will find a great deal a month in advance.

There's a 6-ticket limit per transaction, but, as far as I know, there's no longer a 6-ticket total limit. That was a holdover from the presale, but I believe it no longer applies.

It's maddening. I paid $299 apiece for a pair of center orchestra tickets, and now people are getting neighboring seats for much less. I know that I can continue to monitor availability and return the ones I have if I find a better deal, but it's a lot of work and I just don't think it's fair. It really shouldn't be this much work.
