How is MATILDA selling?

I just bought a ticket for a weekday evening in early June, and orchestra seats were scarce - only scattered singles for every performance I looked at. Mezz availability was slightly better, but not much.

I suspect tickets will go even faster once they start performances next week and buzz gets out, so order while you can!

I don't know either, but it's rumored there are only scattered single seats in June.

Touche.

The new Telecharge is indeed terrible. I hadn't used it yet and it took almost an hour to browse the various performances I was looking at and buy tickets.

Matilda had a nice 2,500 point bonus on Audience Rewards. I snagged a third row side orchestra seat for March 6 and can't wait to use the points to save on another show.

ABB2357, I'm glad you started this thread. You are correct in what you wrote. I was going to wait and buy my ticket for June during my May visit. I wanted to save the telecharge fees. I went online for the matinee of June 5, which is the performance I wanted and it was sold out for the price range I wanted. So I looked at the evening and got a ticket. Had I waited I may have been SOL. So thanks.

AT the box office, there is only the restoration fee (I believe) so if its conveneient, it makes sense to buy at the box office.


the deal? In what way?

In the UK Matilda has been selling very well and I saw it myself but don't believe it's the best show out there. The music is very good but the story, at times, is quite weak. Matilda is very popular because it is suitable for young children but I feel the buzz is slowly dying down about it but I hope it does well on Broadway because there's some very funny and touching moments.

"The new Telecharge is indeed terrible. I hadn't used it yet and it took almost an hour to browse the various performances I was looking at and buy tickets."

Ugh. I am going to threadjack here because I need to rant. I now prefer Ticketmaster over Telecharge. I feel like Ticketmaster listened to some customer suggestions. For example: interactive seat selection. I've been able to select specific seats from an interactive seating charts (even for concerts with venues with thousands of seats). Telecharge, on the other hand, tried to fix something that was not really broken to begin with.

I can understand they were probably trying to reduce the number of screens you had to pass through before you could purchase tickets, but I preferred that A LOT over the interface they have now. The site is way too cluttered.

SeeTickets is how a proper ticket booking site is done. Easy to read, clear information and - most importantly - no "captchas"
