I know they pushed the closing date to September 7th, but Broadway.com's isn't selling tickets for anything past that Thursday. It's not that they are sold out, because then the performance time would just be red. It just doesn't say anything past that Thursday. Anyone know why?

I don't have time to provide links myself, maybe someone else will, but seriously there were so many threads about this like a month or so ago so just go search rent and september and you'll find what you're looking for.

The final performances will be invite only, or people who previously bought tickets for the former closing date, or the week before. If you ask me, If you want to go to the final performance, write a heart-felt letter to the Nederlander telling them why you need at ticket to one of the closing performances. Who knows, they just might hook you up.

Good luck, No Day But Today!

A lot of threads about this. RENT's website may have something about it, but if I remember correctly, they let people exchange the tickets for the 1st announced last performance in June for the one in September. Actually I think they were letting people do it for the final week. Do a search.

Yeah, here's the ticket exchange policy:

EXTENSION TICKET EXCHANGE POLICY

If you purchased tickets for performances from Monday, May 26 through Sunday, June 1, you may exchange those tickets for performances in the extension period.

Two ways to exchange your tickets:

Take your tickets to the Nederlander Theatre box office (208 W. 41st Street, NYC) during regular box office hours (Monday - Saturday: 10:00 am to 8:30 pm; Sunday: 11:00 am to 7:30 pm). Tickets must be in hand. 1)

2) Call the Nederlander Theatre box office mail room at 212-921-8000 and arrange the exchange over the phone. Tickets being exchanged must be mailed or brought to the box office by May 11, 2008 to complete the exchange.

If you purchased tickets prior to March 15, 2008 for the previously announced final performance (Sunday evening, June 1, 200, you may exchange those tickets into the final performance on Sunday, September 7, 2008 only with verifiable proof of purchase: Ticketmaster account information or credit card receipt or statement. The hard copy of proof of purchase must be brought or mailed to the Nederlander Theatre box office along with tickets to affect the exchange. This will be checked. Please note that September 7th tickets may not necessarily be in the same locations as those purchased for June 1st.

New tickets will be exchanged only for face value of the old tickets. All ticket exchanges are subject to availability.

OMG you should also write a letter to the Nederlander telling them that they should rename the theatre after Jonathan Larson and light an eternal flame outside the theatre in his honor!!!

Didn't you hear, after Rent closes, RENT 2 will open. It'll be about Roger and Mimi having babies and Mark will sleep with thier babies at the age of 2. He'll go to jail then he'll sleep with a big, smelly, man.

Well then Benny and Collins use their money (Collin got his from the ATM with the code A-N-G-E-L!) got Mark out of jail and then they ALL slept together. How could you leave that part out SpellingBeeFan4Ever??

And Collins and Benny get married in Canada.

And then Muffy and Joanne hooked up, got married, are next door neighbors with Benny and Collins. Maureen then took Mark back, had a baby girl and named her "Elsie Pookie Johnson-Cohen. Mimi and Roger named their baby Musetta, who is following her mother's footsteps and learning how to be an S&M dancer.

The interesting part about the whole exchange policy thing is this. That they only let you exchange tickets for either the final performance or for the final week if you have proof of purchase. In other words those people who spent a couple of thousand dollars on the June first performance thinking it was going to be the last one just paid a couple of thousand for a regular performance.

im assuming that as long as they have the tickets they will be able to exchange them, yes? (by contacting whoever they bought them from to get the conformation etc.)

[suicidalmickeymouse]

Posted: 4/16/08 at 10:18pm

YEs, but the sellers could just exchange their tickets with their ticketmaster code and get another 10000 bucks.

No, no, the sequel to Rent will be called, "Mortgage."

The tickets aren't enough. You need a conformation code which you don't get when getting tickets from Ebay or stubhub. Therefor the people that got tickets through those two sites are screwed because they just got the tickets and nothing else. No forms of conformation or anything like that.
