Once on TKTS

I try to snag a pair of tickets this past Friday since it was 50% off. Sadly all they have left were partial view seats at 95 bucks. I understand all the good seats were gone since it was 7ish by the time i got there but how on earth are 50% off tickets 95 dollars, let alone partial view. Has anyone here has gotten tickets to Once at 50 % off and how much did you pay? Thanks

My Once ticket was 30 percent off and partial view. Ended up being far left lower mezz. There was only about 2 percent of the stage obstructed, and not once could I not see the main action. Only thing missed was a couple actors standing along the wall (who were not really part of the scene, if you are familiar with Once's staging).

View is just fine, don't worry about the partially obstructed wording.

I can only say that friends got half price tickets when TKTS first opened a couple weeks ago (for a Wed. Matinee). They paid in the $70 range and got house seats -- 5th or 6th row center orchestra.

That's also what happened with me for Newsies. I'm suddenly thinking being almost first in line for these shows is a good way to get the best seats -- especially if they're releasing house seats via TKTS.

Fascinating, indeed. What, pray tell, is your point?

I didn't claim to KNOW anything, I just suggested that maybe the OP was mistaken because usually its on for 30% and the math seem to back that up.

The second posters comment didn't seem to be connected other than a list of what was available on that specific day. S/he made no point as to why they were listing it. AND perhaps if that poster came back to explain him/herself, things might have been clear from the get go.
