Would the Lyric Theatre Box Office be able to process cancellations/changes for Ticketmaster orders placed after May 2018? I may have jumped the gun on purchasing these tickets."

Highly unlikely, and they'd probably just refer you back to Ticketmaster.

The box office is open on mondays?
Do you think it's because that guy wrote that article? He made it seem like it was so easy.

It is easy, if you purchased them before they changed the policy. After, you won’t be able to get a refund

Heres the convo: Can you check for entry level tickets for Wed. Aug. 29th?

Sure. None are available

How about November 8th and 9th?

Nope.

Do you have any entry level tickets at all?

No, check the next release. Goodbye

Did same for Angels and not only got seat selection option, but it was same seat for both parts. For $390 total ($199 Part 1, $169 for Part 2), you’d think they would treat you better. They should rename the show Harry Potter and the Cursed Seating Assignments.

 

Did you buy the tickets consecutively, or do 2 individual purchases? All tickets purchased correctly for both shows in one day should be in the exact same seat for each performance.

I've seen the show as a single twice, and when you go to check out, you can see where your seat is, and check the official seating chart for an even more detailed view. You can choose to give the seats up if you wish.

I booked in the first release, and tickets weren’t available for my original trip dates, so I extended my trip right then to see this. And, yes, I did book it as a pair. Or so I thought. The site was overloaded and pretty hosed when it first went up. I kept getting available dates, but then a message when I clicked the date saying no seats available. Then it kept rejecting my credit card.

The seats aren’t bad, but both are on orchestra far sides (E24 and U33). At the time, I’d take what I could get and be happy. Good to know they are selling paired performances as same seat. Like I said, that first release was madness, and I didn’t want to take the chance of getting shut out. Possible they ironed out the kinks once the first wave was over.

I gave up on the website and called Ticketmaster.  They're able to see more available seats.  If you purchased early you should be able to exchange your seats for better ones.

The usher is wrong.  There are seats available for almost all performances from September through the end of the year.  Maybe not cheap seats, but there are seats.  I expect that will change after the Tonys, though.

Saw the show today thanks to the gracious poster on this board who posted a couple of weeks back that 2 affordable tickets were available for today on Ticketmaster. They weren't great seats by any means (side back balcony) but I was just thrilled to be at the show that I would have sat anywhere. My sister was also at the show but sat in the dress circle and at intermission came to tell me that there were some empty seats (1 or 2 here and there, not many)- I guess some people hasn't shown up for part two or only bought for part one. Anyway, we asked the usher and she let us sit in those seats for second half of part two. She even pointed out which seats were empty and had remained empty for part two. For those who do want to buy cheaper seats, maybe try this out. If you don't mind being split up with your party, you can try to move up after intermission.

There are 300 affordable tickets per show and I believe the cheaper seats are sprinkled throughout the theater. Even when you look at ticket types it’ll say $20-40/part can be in orchestra, dress circle, or balcony. I won the lottery and had front row seats, but I knew they could’ve placed me anywhere. I believe someone for $40-80/part orchestra not too long ago. 

 

Hi all -- new on this forum, I'm living in NYC next few months and looking for ONE cheap $20/40 ticket for both parts (or even slightly more expensive) for any day from today till the next few months. Please let me know if you have any leads!

Also any tips on the cancellation line? Are there any cheap tickets available if I just walk up to the theatre? I work very close by so not a problem for me.

Sounds like either the Friday Forty or extensively rechecking the Ticketmaster page for your dates. I think cancellation line is mostly higher price tickets

Thu/Fri July 19/20, Orchestra Y21 on Ticketmaster for $110/part.
