Opening Night tickets

I am curious about other people's experiences buying opening night tickets without connections in the industry, specifically from Roundabout Theater Company or other Broadway non-profits. The fact opening night tickets are very exclusive is not lost on me, there is no guarantee the theater has to sell these tickets to the general public, but I do have to ask

 

For context, I happened to have slot in my trip open for what is the opening night of Rocky Horror. As a huge Rocky Horror fan, I felt like I have to try and go, even as I know opening night for shows almost never differ from a standard performance. Still, which Broadway fan doesn't have going to opening night on their bucket list? So two birds, one stone. I also lurked on the different threads to see what is the best way to score opening tickets. Using that, once tickets went on sale to the public, I refreshed the ticket page everyday

 

Up until today, opening night was not listed, however that changed this morning, now being up but being sold out. I am aware theaters sometime hold back tickets to release later, but opening night might be the exception. Is it worth it to keep an eye on it? Or should I abandon these lofty expections and just try to come back to New York before Rocky Horror closes?

I’m assuming you are aware you posted this message from both of your accounts?

5 threads all saying the same thing but with different years and accounts. I think their website is f*cked right now. Rob had to make a test thread yesterday just to see what was happening.

Even by the recent years standards of this board, this is weird.
