Does anyone know why some seats have two different prices for the same performances?

I didn't see what you're talking about, but it could be the price with/without the Ambassador Lounge amenity."

It wasn't that. I thought maybe they were charging a slightly different price if you were only seeing one part, that wasn't it either. I wasn't able to replicate it on my computer, I only noticed it on the app on my phone. Strange.

Row A for sure. I've sat A1 before, and to be that close is amazing. There's one moment you will need to sit up completely to see, and you'll haveta turn around to see another moment, but do row A for sure!

You honestly will just have to contact ticketmaster and see. despite their policy, they seem to treat this on a case by case basis. I know people who have had success (even when buying their ticket outside of the "refundable" window) and people who have not. If you're really adamant about it, I'd also try contacting the lyric box office directly as well.

Prices have been trending downward for several months. Dynamic pricing had made tickets available at higher and lower prices. It has absolutely nothing to do with the cast.

Lauren2 said: "I exchanged my tickets but I contacted the lyric theatre first. They are the ones you have to talk to and than deal with Ticketmaster. They were nice and let me exchange but I have no idea if they will do it again. I would contact them on one of the social media’s."

Thank you! I messaged them.

I don't think so. I've sat in A119 and didn't notice that anyone in that seat was complaining or having issues. I think the mezz is far enough away from the stage, and curved enough to not make it a problem. 

"Does anyone know if the view from Dress Circle Right, A2 is somewhat blocked by the tall safety rail at the end of the bottom of the stairs?"

I don't think it's too much of a problem; I think the safety rail in the Balcony is more restrictive out of the two? A2 is nice and central as well so you won't miss out from the curve at the sides of the section. 

I don't have a pic of A2 to hand as an example but we have A3 on our website here, which shows how wide the view is. 

I hope you enjoy the show! 

Just to provide some recent update.  We have been shopping tickets for this show for a bit but figured we wouldn't go because it was too pricey (a few months in advance Dress Circle L seats were $189.50 per part). We were excited when the show announced it was participating for the first time in the BOGO Broadway Week this year, but unfortunately our date was not included in spite of about 50-60% of the seats still being unsold.  Well imagine our surprise when 3 weeks out, the $189 tickets were now down to $99 per part. We changed our previous plans and jumped on those thinking that was the best option without doing a lottery.  A week later, even better tickets than ours were made available at $99 per part. Then a few days after that, similar tickets to ours dropped to $89 per part.  And today (less than a week out), similar tickets to ours are now down to $69 per part.  I suppose it isn't news to anyone here, but for me, this constantly changing dynamic pricing (down 65%) from the actual advance box office has been a real eye opener.  

I did try calling Ticketmaster to just change my seats to better options that were now for sale at the same/ less than what I paid, but they indicated the Potter producers don't allow it for this show.

Anyhow, FYI for those who come after me........
