It's Only A Play Ticket Question

Trying for obstructed view seats .

Does anyone know where they are in the orchestra and what are the best ones?

Money aside, these may be the only ones left assuming they are not already gone.

Are you assuming that they have obstructed view seats for this or did someone tell you they do? I don't think they offer them for that show.

Roxy, didn't you go to great pains to tell us that you were fed up with Broadway, wouldn't be going to shows anymore and more importantly would be posting much, much less on the Broadway board? When exactly can we look forward to that starting?

Hmm, if they're the same price, you should just buy an unobstructed seat... unless you have your heart set on obstruction.

I was told all obstructed views were full price by the box office.

As neon just pointed out $72 is the 'full price' for weekdays for the rear mezz. (It's not $150.)

Thanks, but I'll pass on paying that, cuz I can.

But aren't ALL the seats-both full and partial view-in the rear mezz that price?

Try going from 2 incomes to 2 social security checks and an IRA. My wife was let go 3 1/2 years ago and could not find a job in this wonderful economy and took early retirement. I got fed up with the boss from hell and I left with no notice.

We both agreed the prices are outrageous and even if we both worked we would not pay them. Prices continue to rise because suckers like you will pay what they are asking. Many on this board have decried high prices but you and folks like you say I am the only one who does it. Add to your willingness to pay whatever they ask with those who are so hooked they see a show 30 or 40 times and they have you guys by the short hairs. The same people who spend tons on Broadway would not give a bum on the street a nickel. Broadway is all about the Benjamins and art be damned.

I could care less if I see another show as people such as yourself along with the state of Broadway have left me cold. I would pay a fair price but $ 170 for The Elephant Man to me is not fair. I saw the original and that was enough.If you want to pay it or $300 for a seat enjoy yourself.

We see what we can from TDF and other offerings and actors fund shows and naughty version. We see what she wants to see as I do not want to see a bloody thing and the prices just cement my feeling.

Rip into me here as I will not be coming back to this thread

Roxy, you do realize that your constant use of the term "naughty version" makes you sound like some creepy, third rate pornographer, right?

Poor Roxy this is not your day. Be careful they will stone you to death. Better start wearing a helmet.

It's not a charity. If you want a bargain, go to Filene's Basement.

To actually get your question answered, yesterday I was row B all the way on the left and every one else I saw in line with me was the end seats on the left as well. The person who purchased a ticket right after me was however in the Mezz all the way on the left, row B.
But the view was great. Felt like I didn't miss anything.

Lots of people seem to complain about front row of the orchestra sometimes feeling like a partial view because of the height of the stage. If these seats are being sold as such maybe some producer finally sat in the front row and felt the same.
