They should have just tweeted the code.

Front of the queue. In the site.
NO CODE
Ridiculous!

Yeah...and so's Christmas!

Still no code. How could something so simple, be so difficult?
Posted: 6/25/25 at 11:14am
Comments on instagram are confirming what a shambles it all is.
And who approved that pink? CHESS should be in the red, and The Musical should be in white. There’s no sense of the style this show promises, just a feeling of an open mic night on 9th Avenue.

AND they just paused the line.

Line paused. Starts at 99 with code.
Posted: 6/25/25 at 11:15am
I finally got into the Telecharge page. I says that I need to wait until 12:00 to get my turn, but my code still has not come. I just don't understand why these thigs don't go smoother.
The irony, of course, is that I have never actually seen a production of Chess that was not a big disappointment, especially the original London and Broadway.versions, the latter of which which was deadly. I saw one in Shirlington VA 12 - 15 years ago which was actually pretty good, but still not great. That said, to this day, I play that London cast recording more than any other one. Maybe this time...

So annoying to have more than an hour wait, now the line is paused. How many Chess fans are there?

Okay????
they should at LEAST have emailed all of the email addresses they JUST collected to let them know that. even just a standard. plain text email saying they’re working on it would suffice.
this industry is so embarrassing.

Code CHESSFAN

This kind of incompetence bordering on stupidity is why Broadway financially fails 90% of the times.

"We're pausing the queue while the presale promo code is being sent."
Idiocy, lol.

Finally got a message with it.

You’d think theater presales were like signing up for Obamacare, the way the Telecharge site crashes or glitches when more than 5 people attempt to access it at once.

While I'm paused in line, can anyone tell me if it's a regular schedule (with Wed/Sat./Sun matinees)? Or, are there any odd times (Sun eves, etc)? Thanks!
Posted: 6/25/25 at 11:20am
Some rear mezz seats now going for $99, I'd say that's a steal if you're going to see this one.
Per Telecharge, Lea will not be performing on December 14, December 16, January 23, and February 18-22.

You think $99 for the last four rows in the theater is a steal?!
Girl, bye.

Looks like a typical schedule. However, side orchestra and mezzanine all blocked out. Maybe those seats will be available tomorrow as partial view. I'll wait. $99 for a nosebleed is meh.

They're dark on Sundays for previews.

I mean, are we going to pretend like the nosebleeds at Funny Girl weren't $4,567? It IS a steal for a Lea Michele show. Those seats should be $35 (and even that's a little much imo.) But we have to live in the reality of the word, girl.
Posted: 6/25/25 at 11:25am
How about on Sundays after the November 16 opening?
Posted: 6/25/25 at 11:27am
FWIW - I registered for the presale (out of sheer curiosity for pricing) and still haven't received the email with the code. It’s 11:30. 🤡

CHESS is not FUNNY GIRL. You’re comparing apples to oranges.
