Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Seating/Pricing Thread — Page 77

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."
My conspiracy theory is that they aren't letting people pick their seat because of the demand-based pricing. We are all already annoyed by how variable the price is with regard to seat quality, time of purchase, etc. If the prices of each seat can change, it's harder to show them all on a map with a fixed price. Also, if you can see exactly where all the lower priced seats are, you'd be able to see just how much you may be getting ripped off for the higher priced seats..."
this isnt a conspiracy theory. you are 100% correct.

YES, I presume it would be weird for a $40 seat to be in the same row as a $299 seat or even in front of it on any seating chart.

I paid $130 per part in early May for seat G1.

If you mean for orchestra, that's an amazing deal, I paid $40 for E 113 and 114 in the dress circle and I saw seat E 110 for the same day listed at $299 premium prices, which is obscene!

Yes, I bought G1 and 3 in the orchestra for $130 per part, per ticket. At the time, I figured they were premium seats that went "on sale." Great view from there.

This just makes me furious. I bought orch F2 and F4 for $299 per ticket, per part. Your seats are one row behind mine (which I actually would've preferred) and on the opposite side of the center isle, and you paid less than half what I paid.

I can't explain it. There were two days in early May when $130 tickets were released, and they were in great locations. I told some friends and co-workers, and quite a few people bought tickets. Row A in the mezzanine was another location for that price.
I also bought Row M in the orchestra for $130, per part, seats 16 and 18.

Given how it's post-Tony season and it's the summer, I doubt we'll see those cheaper tickets anytime soon (maybe in the fall when it gets slower?) I actually thought HP ticket prices would increase a little bit after it won all those Tony awards.
I'm getting used to the concept of demand-based pricing and thinking more about it, I wonder if HP will ever advertise any sort of promo code or discount code. After all, they don't need to since they can simply decrease seat prices whenever.

These tickets are available through ticketmaster, https://www.ticketmaster.com/harry-potter-and-the-cursed-lyric-theatre-new-york-ny/venueartist/393320/2395774
It takes time, but you need to go date by date. For each date, different priced tickets are available. There were $40 pp balcony seats available on November 23 but I believe those are gone now. Single $40 pp tickets may still exist on other dates, but you need to go date by date to see them. Start poking around on the ticketmaster website and looking at different dates, and you'll see how the availability and pricing changes with each date. Good luck.

December 27/28 has decent seats in the balcony for $40 per part - I hope someone on this board gets them.
