RENT 30th Anniversary Concert - 10/26 at Richard Rodgers Theatre — Page 3

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.

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

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?

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.

Just like Brody saying "As clearly stated on their Instagram post they imply there was an in-person sale" (and not deleting or editing it) he's wrong. Again. The concert (that was sold out well before noon) will not feature all the original cast which is why all the publications say “original cast members and a bevy of special guests."

The good news is the show’s original music director, Tim Weil will return, leading the entire original Rent band: Kenny Brescia, Stephanie Mack, Jeff Potter and Daniel A. Weiss.

Has anyone heard of or seen a single person who was able to buy a ticket today?

Sometimes BCEFA or The Actor's Fund (or fill in the blank other non-profit) put on their big fund raiser for the year and they can't give the tickets away.

This event sold out! At very high prices. They don't owe anyone the chance to buy ffordable seats.

They knew it was sold out - they made arrangements for the streaming option and had the press release ready to go. And they will make even more money off those $30 tickets

We all had the opportunity to donate lots of money to BCEFA weeks ago to secure tickets.

They will have rush tickets - probably the first row available for the public. 10 to 20 people will get lucky there. Hopefully it will be an in person lottery at the theater the day of the event.

I'll put my name in a hat.

They just said it was a lottery. They didn't mention anything more than that. I hope it's not in person because that takes a lot of people out of the running who work and can't make it to the theater to submit for it

Sutton Ross said: "This is a fundraiser and public tickets were never available. That's why no one here has confirmed being able to get one without being a donor.

This was all about money and who donates to them. Don't expect a ton of lottery seats without a donation either."

Sutton Ross said: "Thirteen original cast members are confirmed for the event with the notable exceptions beingJesse L. Martin and Idina Menzel. It will be hosted by Jennifer Tepper."

Are they busy ?
