Are you logged in to your account? If you aren't logged in you won't see the seating chart.

Me too! 

I usually don't splurge on things like this, but $150 is relatively reasonable for something like this (but for me, still a splurge). And at this price, I didn't want to pass up the opportunity to see these 3 actors back in these iconic roles - plus whoever else they cast. 

I'm very excited for Audra and Stokes, but I'm also so glad Peter Friedman will be joining in. Friedman wasn't really on my radar until his triple-triumph off-Broadway a couple years ago. His performances in Hamlet, The Treasurer, and Beast in the Jungle were all outstanding, and he quickly became one of my favorite stage actors.

I was hoping to find one for $150 or $200, but by the time I got on they only had $250+ available, and that was pushing my budget farther than I felt comfortable with. Congrats to everyone who got a ticket. I hope you all have a wonderful time (and report back)!

Seems a little rude that $150 seats were sold out for people who bought memberships, but they had them today for the general public.

[Jordan Catalano]

Yeah I found that kinda crappy, too.

But there’s one single $250 seat left in the orchestra right now if anyone wants to grab it.

The Actors Fund was n a "no win" situation.  If they had released all available seats to members and not left any for non-members, people would be bitching and moaning about that, too.

Well, I don’t agree with that. One of the benefits of paying for a membership is being able to buy these before they go on sale so when they hold them back from those members and make you spend more, it’s not right.

Yes, but it would make people consider becoming members in the future. Instead, people who joined this time for the benefit of presale access will probably not renew, which means that, ultimately, The Actors Fund loses money.

Memberships start at $25.  If that's too steep for people, I doubt they could afford the tickets in the first place.

That's beside the point. I didn't become a member, and I didn't even buy a ticket. However, since I now know that they hold back seats, I won't consider spending the extra $25 for presale access in the future, which is The Actors Fund's loss, not mine.

It feels like many nonprofits hold back seats from members during presale time (I know CSC and Signature do it). The membership provides members with an opportunity to buy seats early (not at a specific price point) and it said it wasn't guaranteed.

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 2/5/20 at 4:36pm

No. When I called to purchase tickets the other day I was told every seat below $250 was sold out. That was not true. Not that they were sold out for the presale, that they were completely sold out.

[Age_of_Mendacity]

That sucks. I guess, in theory, they were sold out of what they had available. It was weird the site's text listed $150 as being sold out from the beginning.
