Ordered Gypsy Tickets Today — Page 2

FYI: I'm 17. Get off my ass all of you. I just though I'd share my ticket buying experience w/ a group of "friends." Silly me, next time I won't say a word. I see Broadway.com's board rearing it's ugly head on here...

DollyPop, there you go mentioning that Lucci woman! Tisk Tisk. LOL Remember, she's good on TV...not Broadway....NEVER BROADWAY.

If you guys don't care about PJ's ticketing experience, then don't click on the thread. I for one am interested to find out the final result.

PJ, I think you are setting your standards too high as far as where you want your seats to be, and when. You're probably not going to get 4th row center anytime soon. You'll be lucky if you even get row M on one of the sides (which is still good).

Are you looking for a week night performace, or a Friday or Saturday? And what month? Because the summer performances are pretty much booked for good seats.

Has anyone tried to get tickets through BROADWAY INNER CIRCLE?
There's a chance I might be in NYC later this month and the 2 main shows I want to see are GYPSY and HAIRSPRAY. Just my luck I want to see the 2 hottest shows at the moment.

TRACY: It must be the low-watt institutional lighting!

Well, you're definitely better off going on a weeknight. Also, If you can't get good orchestra seats, consider front Mezz. The Shubert's mezzanine is actually really good. As far as Orchestra goes, anything past row M or N is not the greatest...but you can see. And the Left and Right sides are fine, as long as you're more centered (meaning right or left but towards the middle). If you sit too far left or right you will miss some behind-the-scenes scenes. LOL

Dear PJ,

I read the saga of your purchasing tickets for GYPSY and with amusement the range of replies it generated. I'm happy that you appear to be pleased with the seats you were finally able to secure. If you would allow me I might suggest that the next time before paying that unwarranted surcharge try asking those of us who live in Manhattan for some assistance. I for one, properly armed with your pertinent information, would have gone to the Shubert boxoffice and purchased your tickets and I would not have charged you a premium. Who knows? Some of us Manhattanites may sometimes be in a position to secure house seats for you to purchase in the future. It never hurts to ask. At some time or other we have all lived "on a farm in Pennsylvania." Enjoy the show.

Yours for a better Broadway!
