How to unbuy tickets to a flop- Page 2

My experience suggests that "no exchanges" isn't at all strictly enforced, but maybe I've just been lucky.

I have one experience switching tickets, and a friend has another (much more difficult than mine, granted.) Both through calls to Ticketmaster. Maybe they're more lenient than other services? That seems atypical, for sure.

I'm also a full-time grad student, so money is tight. BUT... If I care enough about a show to buy a ticket in advance, I'm darn well going to go and make up my own mind. What one pweson thinks is horrible another might like.

B3TAO7, I would never kiss and tell, but the final stages of Rodgers and the final gasps of Lerner have haunted my memory for decades....

"I thought you couldn't exchange tickets...is the policy dependent on the show or theater now?"

They don't. As a courtesy for a missed performance, if the show isn't sold-out they will allow you to come and see the show "as a guest." It isn't too common that they actually issue replacement tickets in advance. Usually they tell you when to come back and they will offer you an available seat then.

I'm w/ jordangirl - why not just go & make up your own mind? This is why theatre critics have so much power.

If you hate it, think what a great story you'll have for your next cocktail party. If you love it, think what a great story you'll have for your next cocktail party. Either way, think how many brain synapses you are recharging just by going & using your own brain & heart to process a show.
