CONFIRMED: Mescal to bring Frecknall-helmed STREETCAR to New York- Page 7

So aggravated with BAM's crappy queueing service that kicked me off after five hours in virtual queue! This morning the only seats left for the show I can attend are upper obstructed view. Nope. Any idea if the AMEX seats are limited and others might be available on the general public sale? Although I don't know that I even want to put myself through the misery of that infernal queue again for hours on end. An extension would be nice, but this has really soured me on attending any BAM events in the future if this is how they run ticketing...

When I finally got on around midnight, there were a ton of balcony seats left, and, in my opinion, the front of the balcony is far better than the upper orchestra, so I got balcony C 1 for $78.50 including fees, which I'm very happy with.

FYI, this was the view from balcony A 1 for The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window. I had zoomed it in at the time to more accurately show the distance:

You can go back to cart at the bottom of the page by clicking on the cart logo. That is what I did.

i ended up paying more to sit in the orchestra. It was all so frustrating ( yes I was kicked off too after a day of waiting) that when I finally was able to purchase I just wanted a ticket. I became too nervous about comparing prices and days. And moving back and forth between pages. I assumed any seat would be ok given it has fewer seats than the Beaumont. 
 

They must be saving tickets for general sale on the 10th. It would be unfair to give them all to members and Amex holders.

If this was just for the AMEX presale, I can’t imagine the hell that their website will put everyone else through.

Got down to 2026 in front of me after two hours, and now I just looked again and I am somehow back up to 2340 in front of me. This has truly been an all day affair. At this point I can't tell if I'm still staying in this because I want to see the show or because I'm stubborn."

Update: I got through at 10:20 yesterday evening. The site moved so slowly it took approximately 35 minutes for my entire transaction. Paul Mescal is by no means the first big celeb to have performed at BAM, so you'd think they'd have the site infrastructure in place to handle this demand...

I was able to get a full-view upper orchestra seat for $78.50. Was actually pleasantly surprised by the price all things considered!

FYI, I just got a call back from customer service at BAM. There will be no additional tickets available for the general public sale (unless a current ticket holder cancels out), and there are no plans for an extension of the run of this show. Really poor management of this sale. Get your S#*! together, BAM!

Glad you got your answers and glad I got my tickets because oof! There will be many unhappy people.

Good luck to everyone vying for tix in the general sale today!

I fortunately got onto the site early and then chose my seats right at 1, but have been stuck “reserving” pretty much ever since.

If you’re able to, get to the theater and buy tickets in person! There were a total of 4 people on line when the box office opened. 
Was out of there at 1:05. Does seem like tickets are already scarce (at least for weekends).

Is this for all shows?  In particular I'm looking for Three Penny.

I believe anything that is available for general on sale is able to be purchased at the box office.  Not sure what Threepenny’s general on sale date is/ was.

I had to start over just now, but somehow managed to get rear balcony aisle seats for $45, so I'm very pleased even with the frustration.

Ended up being less of a **** show than I had anticipated - got two nice seats for Threepenny.  Good seats to be had, especially Friday's performance. 

Edit: I went back to the Streetcar page and there seemed to be tickets available.  I was kicked off before I could take a closer look but the yellow "Tickets" button was clearly visible before I got kicked off.  If you're in line...stay in line!

It is not sold out

Yes, I corrected myself.  The "More" tab was available with a list of dates, but no purchase button.  I went to refresh and it looked like all were available, though I was quickly kicked off the page and put back in line.  

Just happy that I was able to get tickets to Threepenny without difficulty, would have thought the Streetcar general on-sale would make it impossible to get through.

Does anyone know why seats N10 and N12 are marked as partial view? The photo accompanying them doesn’t show a pillar or anything like the other partial view seats. A little confused.

As of this moment there are only a few tickets left for 3 remaining wednesday matinees and a thursday matinee.  The rest of the run is completely sold out.  This turned out to be the play event of the spring.

It’s definitely very well sold, but not sold out yet. Just saw two incredible seats for the last Sunday in March in the front row of the orchestra for $403 a ticket. Incredible but pricey. If I had unlimited funds…

There is an ad in The NY Times today. They must have been holding seats back. I just checked a few dates and good orchestra seats are available for $424 and $334 each. Ouch.

Any information whether this is definitely transferring to Broadway?

[Bwaygurl2]

Posted: 12/18/24 at 1:12pm

It isn't expected to transfer and with Mescal being in demand it doesn't seem viable.

Does anyone think this production will have rush lottery or SRO available?

[TotallyEffed]

Posted: 12/18/24 at 2:11pm

I’m sure it will have rush.
