CONFIRMED: Mescal to bring Frecknall-helmed STREETCAR to New York — Page 4

Going to move to Brooklyn the first weekend in April. Just got tix for Streetcar, Donmar Warehouse Cherry Orchard, and Berliner Ensemble Threepenny Opera for Friday eve and Saturday mat and eve. The scheduling gods were looking out for us out-of-towners. Very smooth members priority access for both theaters. Today I logged in at about 12:57 and was done by 1:10. I’ve had such bad luck with huge heads obstructing my view lately that I bought front row for all three.

Sucks this won't be competing. Mescal's on his way to be the youngest Triple Crown winner on both sides of the pond.

What's the cheapest one for BAM?

I saw this at the Phoenix Theater in London for 40 pounds.

Not sure I wanna see it again with Patsy in the cast.

Lydia Wilson got injured during rehearsals and thus the first few previews were canceled. Unfortunately Lydia had to withdraw and Patsy replaced her.

Are we not into Patsy?"

I know some people thought she seemed a little miscast. She's highly thought of in general and was said to be great in Summer and Smoke, but Alma is a different animal from Blanche.

Patsy is great and should have won the Olivier along with Mescal.

Someone commented on the highest price being $285. What are the other options? Thanks in advance.

I finally got through yesterday. I think the key was to NOT log into your membership before going through the queue (though there is no queue right now). They made some changes and it's still finicky (don't try to enter your Amex preferred number!). It's selling really well. Better availability later in the run. But, I bet there will be slim pickings after the Amex presale and after members who couldn't buy yesterday finally get through. FYI, there are no performances 3/1-3, the weekend of the Oscars. Here's the cost breakdown with the higher number for Thu/Fri/Sat eve/Sun and the lower number for Tue/Wed/Sat mat. I'm rounding up with fees included:

Orch: 285/265, 235/209, 185/160, 160/135, partial view: 125/109

Upper Orch: 125/109, 99/89, 79/69, obstructed: 65/57

Balcony: 100/89, 79/69, 55/45

Is the pre-sale sold out? I logged in, entered the Amex code and everything says tickets unavailable. What am I doing wrong?

Amex presale doesn't start until 12/5."

Thanks - I'm also a member and log in, but again, says tickets not available.

Same. Like I said above, don't try anything with Amex. I suggest clearing your cookies for Bam and starting over."

I also tried AMEX and failed. On the seat map, there are several tix blocked for AMEX. However, the Orchestra does not have great availability so I decided to renew my membership and bought two tix. The Balcony has a lot of availability for all the dates I checked but I have never been up there for any play so I decided not to purchase those.

Possibly a silly question: Does anyone know if a membership allows you to purchase more than one ticket? I couldn't see my way to doing this if I could get 2 Tix for Streetcar, but not if we each need to have a membership.



Also: Does anyone know if they are holding tix for general sale? I don't have an AmEx, and Dec 10 is far enough away that I'm nervous about tickets.
