Is there a time when tdf generally drops or adds shows?

I joined tdf although I am an out-of-towner as a teacher and union member, figuring it wouldn't take much to offset the $25 membership. I was right! I got a ticket for the Jerusalem Sat matinee next week.

I am now eyeing The Normal Heart for Sat eve, which I know will be a stretch. I see the listings on tdf come and go as Jerusalem has already gone.

I am checking the listings regularly, but I thought I would ask all of you who are members if you have noticed any patterns as to when the listings shift. I don't expect empirical evidence, just any observations.

Thanks so much, board members, for your responses to my posts, as it will help me out immensely during my trip.

I don't have any actual evidence, so take all of this with a grain or two of salt:
1.) I generally notice new listings come out on mondays. Yes, new listings come out basically every day, but I'd say the most come out on monday.
2.) Shows that have lots of performances listed each week generally have high quantities of tickets for TDF that rarely sell out. You don't need to rush to get them if you want them (ie. Million Dollar Quartet, Rain, etc.)
3.) Shows that you only see with one or two performances available will generally only ever have those days available. (ie. Motherf*cker with the Hat has had every wed. matinee up there, but nothing else.)

I guess the answer - there isn't much rhyme or reason. So, if you see something you want and can spring for it, grab it, because it can disappear at any time never to be seen again.

(good move joining TDF by the way - I've been a member for about 3 months and LOVE it)
