I was looking on a weekday and saw Row Q for $279ish before fees. To me, that's insane to be asking for Hamilton and The Book of Mormon prices 7 months before the first preview. Even Hamilton and The Book of Mormon didn't ask for that much when they started! I can't imagine those prices are going to last much longer without a course correction.

In Boston, I sat in the dress circle, and I can't imagine seeing the show from under an overhang. Go with the mezzanine.

Tried for a $99 seat to first or second preview and the best price was around $200 so I gave it a miss.

Crazy money for previews.

Menken Fan said: "The pricing for this show is infuriating. I saw it twice in Boston and loved it. Wanted to go see an early preview in NY, and all the decent seats are $299-$399, including front rows in the mezzanine. How can most of the theatre be premium seating? I haven't seen pricing like this since Hamilton. Seems like producers are being incredibly optimistic about how popular this will be and taking advantage of ticket buyers."

Seemingly the Mezz are good seats because of the overhang but for a preview $400 is obscene.

DAMN STRAIGHT. I literally said "Wait...that's IT??" And realized it did exactly what it was supposed to do! I still hope they make the necessary changes, because this has every potential to be LIT AF!!

Going to take a pass on this show unless there are discounts or a realignment of pricing. There were lots of seats available for the post-opening dates I was looking at."

I agree it's very expensive. I got Mezz Left row L for $179. The most I plan to spend on a show this year but the Mezz at the Hirschfield is great and for this show, really immersive. I recommend it but I obviously can't force you

That's incorrect. I just purchased row H Front Mezz (center aisle) for $139. The next few rows down (E, F, G) are $159.

If you want to call Row H "front mezz" be my guest. I don't consider it to be so regardless of how it is stated on Ticketmaster. Most of the first 6 or so rows, if not all, are premium priced at $349 post opening.

Yes, very likely. I was at the first preview performance in Boston and they had everything from window cards, to magnets, mugs. t-shirts and tote bags.

I'm betting the merch will be re-designed a little bit too. Though I do like the window card they did for the Boston tryout, I must admit.

Also, that advertising teaser was slick; I can't wait to see what they'll do for the rest of the series, since I'm guessing we'll get teasers entitled "Freedom," "Truth," and "Love."

So what's the show's rush policy, because I ain't paying these ticket prices!
