For the Broadway production? They're just starting previews in Boston this wee. I think it might be a LITTLE too early to tell?

Might be too early to tell what?  For the upcoming revival.  Tickets are available for sale.  Some productions issue discount codes.  I am inquiring if one has in fact been posted.  I commented that there are lots of seats available.

No discounts for this one.  Not sure where you're looking -- but just checking a couple of random seats it seems VERY well sold (except for premium seating on certain dates).

It might be too early to tell if they will have discounts for this show. I think every show is different for when they announce discounts, rush, lottery, etc. So while Flying Over Sunset and Mrs, Doubtfire have sent out discount mailers, I don't THINK this one has (I'm not sure though) it may be too early for them to have any discount codes listed.

Just checked the mailer that I received for Plaza Suite and it does not contain a discount code. It does stipulate that it is a limited engagement of 17 weeks.

I intended to purchase some tickets for friends in Boston (no interest, myself...saw it with Stapleton and Scott a thousand years ago and enjoyed it only mildly the first time).  

I was shocked to discover two things: (1) it is mostly sold out in Boston and (2) the ticket prices are outrageous.  I do not know if that is because of our friend, dynamic pricing or not, but they are mind-boggling for a dated light comedy with a small cast.  I am guessing that this is because of SJP or the desire to see the couple on stage together.  May also be because shows like this don't get produced in Boston any more, other than (maybe) by local theatre companies with limited seating capacities to deal with.

Jarethan is correct. It has sold well here in Boston, in spite of the crazy prices. It has little to do with what resident companies offer. It's the novelty of SJP (mostly, and Matthew secondarily) on stage.

I tried to organize a group rate for an organization I manage events for and it was impossible.

For anyone interested there's a weekly.lottery on Today Tix for Boston and Show Score has had a few NY dates available at "special" rates.

I wanted to see this in April but there are 6 seats in the theater for both the Saturday and Sunday matinees and all tickets are $499 each.

So yea no discounts and it’s virtually sold out. I really antes you catch this but I’m not dropping $1,000 on it.

Boston might have sold out, but it looks like in NYC there are still plenty of tickets, for both premium and reasonably priced balcony seats. There are many $79-99 balcony tix during the weekdays.

I guess I will never stop whining, but $99 + fees (unavoidable for out-of-towners) for second balcony seats for a comedy is just amazing.  

Broadway has always been accused of being elitist, but this is literally 25 - 30 times what it would have cost originally at the Plymouth, in seats much closer to the stage.  During the same time interval,  movie costs have raised by a multiple of four to five, and restaurant prices probably 5 to 6 (for restaurants that would have been considered reasonably priced in those days.

Considering the Hudson had Burn This balcony seats for $59, this is literally $40 more expensive, not sure the % but thats getting closer to 100% increase than not. Disturbing lol, I spent a little extra on this for Boston but since thats one of the bigger pre broadways playing in town this year I'm not surprised people are going to see it.

You can blame the A list celebrities in the cast. When I found out about the production and the cast,  I had a knee jerk reaction and almost bought a ticket, but then after thinking for a few minutes I realized that I don't even like SJP that much. I agree though that $99 for a balcony seat is a lot.

Yea if you can find any decent seat for less than $499 for two side by side on any weekend let me know cause will not seeing it.

This is selling better than virtually any other show this spring not named Hamilton.

If you look in June, there's a few decent front mezz pairs for $199 (and balcony for $119 or less).
