Radcliffe, Groff, and Mendez star in MERRILY - Reviews & News Thread — Page 7

Just ordered my ticket for 12/20. Couldn't be more excited!!

Afiew thoughts

1. As a Tourist with limited availability, this morning’s early booking period was a blessing. I can now plan around this show and save on other areas of the trip (air fair, hotels&hellip by booking earlier than I would otherwise. I also saved 20% on my guest tickets (2 guest tickets as opposed to 1 was the clincher in my decision to spring for the premiere membership as opposed to the standard) and got fantastic seats



2. When I called NYTW to get the run down on how the tiered pricing and early availability worked, the representative told me that NYTW is making a considerable effort to have availability for most performances at the time they go on sale to the GP in September.


im sure the purchasing process will be hectic, but I am confident that standard members will find decent availability at most performances when their access period begins.

If you have a membership but are traveling with a group, can you buy all seats for your group on one membership or does each person need one? I’ll be traveling with a group of four (myself and three others) and we’re trying to decide the best course of action here.

At least for my level of membership, I could only purchase two with an option to purchase more at a later date.

All tickets are showing up as $149 for me. Oddly enough, availability seems to be worst in January?"

Re: January, no idea if this is a cause, but as someone whose partner and usual 2nd ticket seatmate will be slammed with Nutcracker rehearsals and performances until after Christmas… January is my likely target but I am fearful of the seasonal holiday COVID spike potentially causing havoc for performances and a little weary of not getting an earlier run performance.

i am not a nytw member (despite living in the east village for 4 years until recently, shame on me) and am not dying to see any show but this, so am not sure if I want to spend the $275+ I recall seeing for memberships. Are there other benefits you all can share to help me decide?"

If you don't subscribe, you'll be paying $150 for Merrily, so the extra $125 you'd spend to join for early access could probably be made up easily by selling your member ticket to Three Sisters.

They said they weren't dying to see any of the other shows this season, so that's why I mentioned that option.

Am in the same boat. Was recommended by one of their associates to upgrade earlier in the week - but didn’t get around to calling back to do so until today. The girl who answered said she didn’t know how to do that - and that her supervisor would contact me this afternoon to help. Well - no call or email, and they’re now closed until Monday. I’m not hopeful that we’ll get this resolved before Wednesday.

I had to give up one set of seats from last season and rearrange this year’s first show due to travel requirements for my job. I was expressing to the associate that I hoped I could nail down some seats for Merrily but only had a few dates that worked due to upcoming travel during their run.

She suggested that upgrading to premiere status would give me the earliest shot at the dates I’m available.

She never indicated that there would not be enough seats for members, but I suppose that’s not out of the realm of possibility.

Despite what I said in my previous post, I don't actually think tickets will run out before the general public on-sale date - let alone before the remaining subscriber base can get them. As much as that always feels like a risk with really hot tickets, has anyone ever heard of instance where that actually happens?

While anything is possible, please keep in mind they limit the amount of Memberships and Flexpasses sold. Please also keep in mind one thread on BroadwayWorld is not indicative of general interest despite how it might feel.

It's EXTREMELY unlikely that anyone will have trouble booking tickets before the general on-sale. The very BEST seats might not be available to you but you shouldn't have trouble if you have a handful of dates available. They've been doing this for awhile and I think at this point they know what they're doing.

I got through no issue. Booked for 12/10!
