fairly simple really:
Any shows that have a certain number (or percentage) of unsold seats send them to the office for same day sales at a steep discount.
Problem 1: you can never be sure what shows are available from day to day or even performance to performance
Problem 2: you need to be willing to give up a pretty big hunk of time.
Basically you get in a line before the box office opens and wait. And wait. Bring a friend, something to read or just be willing to strike conversation up with fellow line neighbors. Once the line STARTS moving, it goes pretty quickly. By the time you get to the front of the line you should know what you will be asking for. (There are signs that tell you WHAT shows they have available for that performance.)
Expect to wait and dont expect customer service.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
