I don't get it, a question about discount codes V buying at full price

I was online looking at tickets for the performance of Hair tonight. I had noticed that there was a second row seat on the aisle for the taking at full price. Having seen the show and having just by good fortune to sit in the first row twice (of course not having paid for the seat at that price, just lucked out) I figured, that if the same seat was offered via a Broadwaybox discount code that I would indulge despite the fact that it might be going a little over my budget.

When I went to Broadwaybox.com to get the discount code, I noticed that there were not any seats in the orchestra being sold with the discount code and that the best one I could get was in the front Mezz. Now, I do wonder, why is it that they would have no problem selling me a discount ticket in the Mezz when it is good for orchestra seats specially when there are still a handful of orchestra seats that are yet to be sold?

Yeah, dancingthrulife has it right.

Most discount codes, whether they mention this in the fine print or not, don't apply to the first half-dozen or so rows of seats in the Center Orchestra.

This varies, of course, but don't expect to get a front-row center seat for half price.

Discount codes generally have limitations; they'll only be valid for certain seats or days of the week, for example.

Yeah, it varies. I bought tickets for [title of show] from broadwaybox and sat in the second row, immediate center.

ChristopherDurangFan, when was that? During previews? I can't recall there being a discount for orchestra seats for God Of Carnage.

Ah yes, you're right. I remember now: I got my ticket for one of the previews a day or two before the discount code was released. Grrr... It was worth full price though. :)
