Thank you for the clarification. I was very confused when people kept saying in person tickets. 

It is very nice that they'll do a livestream. 

But I'm confused as to how their website is still down.

Obviously, they mean in person tickets versus people watching the live steam. There were no box office tickets at the Rodgers. The friends and family of donors (I am one) had first dibs hours earlier and they bought them all. That's the true tea of this whole thing. Shady.

Now watch their livestream have issues due to their lack of advance preparation. 2 hours later and their website is still down. 🤣🤣🤣

If all this is true, I’m very reluctant to donate to the organization going forward without more transparency to the model. Yes, they can sell however they like to raise the most money (as they should as a not-for-profit), but transparency should be key here. 

I'd be completely fine if they disclosed this event was happening but is already sold-out to high raising donors:  at least that would be direct and honest. But to maintain the farce that tickets would be available at noon is dishonest and boarders on running afoul of fair sales and marketing. 

Didn’t think I’d score tickets for this anyway, but this all smells so bad - especially for an organization that depends on good faith to keep it afloat.

Someone on Reddit posted a link to a ticketing page that said sold out. It looks like that was the page that would have been used for selecting and buying tickets. There was also a link to an Upcoming Events page. I was able to access those pages even when the Rent 30 page was still giving an error. I’m wondering if some people knew about that and clicked through that way and were able to get tickets while the “main” page was still down?

well, if this announcement is any indication on who we can expect participating, don't look for either Idina or Daphne in October.....

First off, this is in August and not in NYC and not a major big event ON Broadway - its a 3 day festival in Kingston, NY. I think it’s safe to assume this October concert at the Richard Rodgers Theatre will have the full original Broadway cast in attendance as it’s THE official celebration anniversary event for RENT with major Broadway luminaries attending. Red Carpet - the whole sheebang.

I sure hope so, but i thought i read earlier in this post that some people were questioning 'members of the the original cast' when this NYC event in October was announced, and who was or wasn't going to participate.  I was just curious on if this august festival should be considered 'an out of town' tryout.  I do hope i am wrong.........
