Kit Connor, Rachel Zegler to star in Sam Gold-directed ROMEO + JULIET on Broadway, Fall 2024 — Page 7

I got drafted to assist my daughter, busy in a work meeting, to get a ticket. Row F on Saturday night, Nov. 9 on the long side. $175. (Row E and closer costs $250. Nope.)

My daughter is pretty much the target market for this show.

I've never gotten past "more than an hour" on multiple devices. I'm out.

Tickets in the $125 range will definitely be gone. I checked a couple of dates and there were only a few left.

No, it certainly won’t sell out. Even Merrily doesn’t sell out in advance. For people who live near New York City and have flexible schedules, they will be fine.

But my daughter, traveling from the West Coast, wanted a Saturday night in early November if possible and didn’t want to deal with price increases for decent seats. She was willing to splurge but has never spent more than $200 on a show and didn’t want to start now.

Finally was able to get in and purchase two tickets for late October. Can’t wait!

TaffyDavenport said: "Although there were a significant numberof seats held back from every performance, they've sold a ton of tickets today, and nothing less than $125, which is pretty impressive."

Definite props to the producers, but does anyone think this is really going to be a sell-out production before opening? Great tickets for enemy of the people were available after steller reviewes and I'd argue there is a more built-in audience for that show.

I guess I'm curious about the need to secure tickets on the on-sale date. I only cared about that for McNeal because I can see that selling out before the first performance (but who knows) and because I happened to be a member.

Just curious is all...

TaffyDavenport said: "They've raised the lowest price to $199."

Another reason to get in there early before dynamic pricing starting raising prices due to high demand.

Only speaking for myself, but the reason I wanted to buy right away today was to ensure I'm at the first preview. (I am also pretty much the target audience for this show and the Rachel/Kit fandom overlap.)

If I end up wanting additional viewings, I live in NYC and, much like others have said, will hold out for cheaper methods, discounts, etc. and/or purchase at box office.

Play Esq. said: "But demand will almost certainly drop and, as already pointed out, tons of seats have not been released yet.

I don’t mean to be a pedant, I just don’t understand the reasoning behind buying tickets when the first go on sale. Another consideration is, if you live in NY or nearby, just wait until the box office opens and save a ton on fees. I also find that the box office always has seats not available on-line.

Just my 2 cents."

In my experience, I was able to by the cheapest best tickets for most anticipated shows during presales. Namely, An Enemy of the People and Merrily. Those affordable seats were sold out very fast and had I not purchased within the first presale hour, I'd never be able to see either show. For majority of the shows, of course, it's wise to wait until a code becomes available.

If cheaper seats for R&J are released tomorrow or later (which I doubt), I'll grab a ticket, but otherwise, I'll sit this one out.

Do we think the tickets will drop back down to $125? I was stuck in the queue for 2+ hours, finally clicked on a date I wanted, then became so busy at work I couldn't buy mine. AND landed back in the queue.

Now I'm worried that the tickets will stay 200+ and up.

Presale tickets are landing on the theatr app already.

Kit Connor is adorable and that’s all I’ll say.

Should have jumped on tickets when I could. $199 min. price is way too expensive for me. Happy for everyone who wants to see the show and got tickets! Truly, I know there's a lot of excitement, so very happy for those who got tickets
