It's overpriced for its location, but not because you've seen lower prices for similar seats. This show is wildly inconsistent with pricing, and there is no transparency to the pricing structure and ticket availability. For example, on Thursday/Friday last week, I managed to buy a ticket for Dress Circle, Row B, Seat 122, for $90/part. I bought the ticket a few days prior. An acquaintance mentioned to me that she had paid $210/part for Dress Circle, Row H, seat 122 For last Sunday. A few months ago, I bought a ticket in Orchestra, row Q, Seat 8 for $130/part, about a week before the performances. Last night I found a ticket for tomorrow for row Q, seat 9 (I think) for $90/part.
There is absolutely no transparency to the ticket pricing and seat locations. I saw the row Q seat on TM but decided to try my luck at the box office to avoid the fees. There were no seats available for less than $200/part. I declined, but checked TM once I stepped outside. Sure enough, row Q was still available at the $90/part price. I live here, so I am fortunate to be able to wait for these type of "surprise" releases. I can only imagine how aggravating it must be for those who must purchase months in advance.
