How can I get phantom of the opera front row or right box tickets?

Usually these seats are reserved for lotto, and I'm not sure how to secure them. Phantom is my favorite show, and I feel the need to see it front row, as well as from the phantom's right box.

Should I go in person to the box office? I'm looking for the best deal possible, and I have various discount codes.

You can't secure front row from a lotto or rush with this show. Phantom only has a SRO policy, not rush or lotto. Sorry, you can only get front row seats with pure luck.

I've noticed over the past years, Phantom discount codes have restricted a lot of the center orchestra seats in certain rows, but it might've changed since then. Sometimes, a center orchestra seat might show up with a discount code, even if they aren't supposed to be valid with the discount.

For example, I used a discount code for Hair that was for mid/rear side orchestra seats, and I was able to pull up center orchestra rows J and B on separate occasions. The same happened to me with Mamma Mia - I got a front row center seat, even though the discount code was only valid on side orchestra seats.

For certain shows, you can buy box seats online, but I am not sure about the box seat policy for Phantom.

Well, PHANTOM doesn't have lotto or rush, so if you want front row seats you'll be spending between $66.50-$121.50. Looking now, I found seat AA-1 available for Oct 27 at the full price. That one is front row on the left aisle. It's a great seat. I've sat there before. It doesn't come up with the discount, but what you can try to do is print out the BroadwayBox discount and take it to the box office. Ask them to see if they can find you a seat in the front row, and if they do, then show them the discount. It may work that way.

Does anyone have any (updated) info on the box seats for Phantom? Looking to know how to get them, how much they are, and how difficult they would be to get for a non-weekend performance. Thx!

Boxes are only available from box office, they are not usually hard to get unless it is busy season, last time I went was February this year and I was the only person in any of the boxes, they were $80 something dollars though, they use to be $50 something which was an excellent deal. not sure what price they are now. Seems to me that they by default start to sell the house right boxes first, personally house left are better because of certain set pieces, so when you go to box office, you should prob request the house left side (stage right)

I personally love them and use them all the time unless there is an orchestra sale going on

yea, they were great when they were around $50, not sure you will get any nice seats at the price until maybe when the summer rush is over, usually you might get a rear mez for that price.

Also it depends on what day you go, sometimes the $25 back row seats go up to $75 on weekends
