CONFIRMED: Mescal to bring Frecknall-helmed STREETCAR to New York — Page 5

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."

Members can purchase up to 8 tickets. Unclear to me if that's per show or per production. Not sure about tickets being held back. It's selling really well (many performances only have singles left in the main orchestra). My membership already paid for itself just by buying 2 orchestra tickets to Streetcar given that members receive 20% off. Seats are clearly being held back for Amex preferred cardholders, they are marked on the seating chart. Not sure about regular Amex cardholders or the general public. Good luck!

Looking to get tickets for later in the run. For those of you who have been to this theater would you recommend side upper orchestra row q (marked as full view) or first row of the balcony a little more centered. Thanks in advance!

Rear orchestra as in upper orchestra? Or the last few rows of the regular orchestra section?

I'd stay away from the balcony, the seats are faaaaaar away.

To be fair a lot of people aren’t familiar with that theater and could be pretty surprised with just how massive it seems inside, depending on where you’re sitting.

Yeah and the balcony here really is far away. Another thing to consider with this particular production is that is very very dark so if you’re eyesight isn’t the best then sitting closer (if you’re able to) is best.

All due respect, I spend a good amount of time deciding on seats based on others’ feedback and sites like A View from My Seat and SeatPlan so I can make sure I’m getting an acceptable view for an acceptable price. I’m personally never going to sit in a restricted view seat willingly, no matter how little I’m paying (I recently sold my £30 seat to Cat on a Hot Tin Roof at the Almeida after finding out it was behind a pole), so it helps to get that feedback from people.

For those who have seen it in London, is that platform on the stage elevated very high (to accommodate what I assume is a collection system for water)? Is all the action on the platform? Wondering if the first row is too low.

Anyone out of the queue yet? What does availability look like?

I joined the queue before 1pm and I’m like 2600 in line……I’m nervous.

I had the page open around 11am so I was placed pretty early in the queue - 375 - but still waiting. There are 143 people in front of me. It says now the line is paused...

Now my queue page says

"We're aware that a technical issue is preventing folks from purchasing tickets at the moment. We're incredibly sorry for the inconvenience, and our web team is actively working to resolve the issue."

Everyone still seeing that the line is paused?
