Bought tix yesterday for (2) separate dates--- Paid $20 for Balcony. Checked tonight, because a friend wanted to come with us, and the same tix are now $40 -

Ticketmaster glitch yesterday?? Very weird. Price range now starts at $40. Yesterday, started at $20.

The Box Office is watching you... I'm guessing they noticed a trend on the $20.00 ticket and decided to up the price.

Well, just shelled out another $96- !

It's commercial theatre. They're never nice... come to think of it... Not-for-profit rarely is nice that way as well...

I nabbed a pair of $20 balcony seats for the first preview. The balcony at the New Amsterdam is just fine...We've sat up their for a few Actors' Fund concerts. The sightlines are very good.

Awww...guess that's what I get for not being on top of things. It's great that some of you were able to take advantage of their slip up though!

I believe that Playbill.com also listed the price range from $20 and up. Man, that stinks if they truly raised the prices !!

I also bought a $20 ticket for the first preview. Glad I snatched it while it lasted.

There are still $20 tickets available for most shows. Although they were taken off sale on the internet, if you call on the phone or go to the box office and ask specifically for them, they will sell them to you. If you have a problem, ask the telephone operator for "price level 5" to make it easier for them to figure out. Hope this helps.
