My December Broadway Trip ! — Page 2

Your trip sounds fantastic! Just wanted to pipe in--while I'm not sure how the secondary market will be so close to the holidays, my daughter and I recently scored Hamilton tix for an incredible price via StubHub. Keep in mind, we live in NJ and have been trying to see the show forever.....I'm a bit frugal and didn't want to pay an arm and a leg for subpar seats. I am constantly checking the secondary sites and one Saturday happened to be doing my usual perusing. I found 6th row side orchestra seats for $179/ticket for that Wednesday's evening show. We were right side orchestra, but in the center of the row and it was AMAZING! Granted, the fees bumped the prices up to over $200/ticket, but I feel like we got a bargain. Fingers crossed you have the same kind of luck!

delilah thank you, I will be checking StubHub for both Hadestown and Hamilton last minute and hope for the best !

Miles, I know about Jonathan's spitting and being Front Row I have to see how that will turn out LOL. I definitely checked if he is playing, since he is the main reason I am seeing the show.

By the way, on a side note, Miles I read the reports from your trip and enjoyed your reviews and was SO touched about your experience with Madonna ! Being a HUGE fan like yourself, I was so incredibly happy for you, having that once in a lifetime experience ! I am skipping this Tour, since she will do very few European dates and after my US trip, I will not be able to afford it but I was so touched and can only imagine how amazingly you must feel !!!! You certainly deserved it !!!

Will do !!! I'll be the one looking like a wet kitten, from what it sounds !

Hey delilah,

I meant that it was the final schedule update since everythng is set, not my final post. I definitely love talking with kind members like you ! Love Jonathan too but depends on the quantity of spit I will receive, will get back to you on that !

I was also quite happily surprised about the Hadestown ticket. I have been checking very often one or two days ahead, to see what the trend is for last minute tickets and usually, a few in the middle of Center Orch pop-up at around the $145 - $200 mark. Nothing last minute for Mezz though, ever ! So, as I was checking today for the actual date I want, after looking at the $300, $400 and even a couple over that, I noticed that Side Orch had some $199 ones (without fees). So, since this is a show I definitely want to see, I decided to grab it, instead of taking a last minute risk for not much price difference. I am not forgettting that I am visiting just before Xmas and perhaps last-minute demand will be much higher then, than right now. By all accounts and if I remember correctly (I saw Gentleman's Guide there) the theater is small and Row N is not that far back, the seat is not far to the side, so I believe I will be fine !

I am happy that I am seeing everything I wanted to see, plus a couple of last-minute impulse buys, like Little Shop and Come from Away and excited because I will be seeing different type of shows, from spectacular like MR and Frozen to poignant and deeper ones like DEH and HADESTOWN and from feel-good simple ones like CFA to Off Browaday like Little Shop !

I know I'll love them all but can't wait to see, which one is going to be my favorite !
