 That’s really amazing! Based on my very unofficial research it seemed like the premium tickets were not selling that quickly, but apparently they were selling eventually. I wonder if all of the other ticket prices will increase also.

I didn’t see that price in October, but around Thanksgiving and Christmas/New Years prices were higher. I believe they did that when they had the other bug release in April.

I have a Part 2 ticket for tomorrow night for sale. Long story but selling it if anyone managed to snag a night one and wants to buy. Open to pricing.

Are the the principal actors still performing this week? Or are any of the principal actors and actresses taking vacation now that the Tonys are over? (Was anyone at the show yesterday who can confirm if any understudies went on?)"

 

I was there yesterday and it was indeed the full cast.

Also worth noting we had row E orchestra seats 25 and 27 (furthest over on the aisle) and they were amazing seats. Didn’t miss a thing or feel too close.

Is this still available? If so- how much and where is the seat? Thanks!

I am in Row J. How good of a view is that? And good I want to see the whole cast. Don’t know what will happen with Jamie Parker tho, saw on Twitter that he got a black eye from Softball.

Finally making it there next week. Hoping for no vacations as I’ve been waiting very long to see this cast (and of course the show).

I have one ticket available for Next Wednesday June 20th both parts. OrchL row T seat 23. Just want face value $398 (for both parts) don’t care about the extra Ticketmaster fees. Also if anyone knows how getting a ticket to the cancellation line works, love some help. Hopefully someone will want the ticket.

Disregard PM, I see you were responding to another post about your ticket that is still available.

On 43rd street entrance outside the box office, there is a sign that states Cancellation line starts here. I've rarely seen a long line there though when I pass by after work. I think the longest I've ever seen it for was back in previews. Nowadays I just see 1 or 2 people waiting.

Buying tickets to this show is unbelievably frustrating! 

Their website chooses your seat and that is it.  If I don't like those seats I have no other options.  Yes, I can release the seats.  But then when I go back and quick on "Find Tickets" for the same performance, I get the exact same seats I just released.  I released them because I WANT TO SIT SOMEWHERE ELSE!!  I don't LIKE those seats! How do I get different seats when I release seats I don't want? I even went back to the site later in the evening to try again and I got the exact same seats that I don't want.  Incredibly frustrating and user unfriendly.

PThespian is right.  I went through the same routine as you did with the website.  If you don't like their choice of seats it's a waste of time.  I called Ticketmaster and got seats exactly when and where I wanted.

There is no reason for them not to allow ticket buyers the option to choose their seat on the map.

The original stated reason was the high demand for tickets; it would be easier and more efficient if ticket buyers simply received the "best available" tickets.

However, since they hold back tickets in addition to the Friday Forty, and they restrict the number of people who can purchase tickets at a time, it is unnecessary.

I’ve seen the show from multiple perspectives, but, for next week, I have a seat in the dress circle (L 122). Can anyone attest to the view from that area?

I sat row j 125 and it was my favorite out of the 5 locations I’ve sat in. I love the view from the dress circle

Well, hot damn!

I had a ticket for my performance (I got this ticket on the public onsale date) for Row A side balcony for $165 per part.

I've been checking my date to see if anything better would show up - and today - I just got Orchestra Left Row G Seat 15 for $189 per part.  I think the additional $50 is worth this seat location upgrade!

So I just canceled my Balcony Left Row A Seat 21 for the shows on Saturday, August 18 via online ticketmaster chat.  That seat will soon become available I would think if anyone is interested.

I also think there is a single for Orchestra Right Row G Seat 16 available for $189/part for this same date.

In case anyone is looking for tickets, there are a number of Saturdays in August and September 2018 with great seats available at $155 and $189 per part.  For example, Rows G, H and J in the Orchestra have seats starting around numbers 12 and 13 (so a bit off to the side but not extreme sides by any means) for $189.  I paid $299 per ticket to sit in that same row but 6 seats to the left.  I don't regret paying $299 (Row G, Seat 1 is an amazing seat!) but I would have gladly paid $100 per part less to sit six seats off the aisle if I had that option.

I totally agree. Coming in from out of town in a month and really want to see the full cast.

Honestly Ticketmaster was NO HELP with finding tickets. Called them to see if any other tickets were available besides the ones I was looking at and they told me the ones I ended up buying weren’t even available. Don’t call them.

Did you have those tickets in your cart while talking to them? That would explain why they would say they aren’t available.

I think your Ticketmaster customer service experience depends on whether the person you talk to understands the Harry Potter pricing system.  I had to explain it to the person I talked to, and after that he walked through the available seats for the date and price point I was interested in.  The more specific you can be as to date and price, the better. No question, the ticketing experience for this show is the most idiotic I've run across in decades of theater ticket-buying.
