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.

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.

 

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.

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. 

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.

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.
