Row B is a step up from row A, but row C is flat with row B, making row C the only row in the theatre with no rake, which can pose an issue with a blocked view if they're using row B, which was the first row for My Fair Lady.

Thanks, Taffy. I was on the same level with the row in front of me (which was the first row) for MFL, so understandable, Row A was removed for the production. I always try to sit several rows further back and get a great view of the stage at the Beaumont. Our seats for McNeal are in Row L of the 400 section, so I'm happy after all that hassle, lol.

Got mine for the last preview (and I bought 2 because I’m no fool).
Now to sit back and relax. 😌

Just got mine! Not bad process. As for pricing, orchestra seats go for $200-$300. Loge has lower prices.

I had a 4 minute wait on laptop, 7 min on my phone. My friends had 10+ min on their devices then left the que when I confirmed our tickets.
Got the first date I wanted - Sunday October 6. 3 seats. Didnt get the seats I wanted - they seemed to be going fast - but still excited!!

The line is paused, system crashed

Ugh. I became suspicious when my wait first told me 35 minutes, then increased to 50. Now paused (obv as others have said.)

For those not getting LincTix, what's your reason for not joining LCT for $50 and getting access last week to $82-92 seats? I was a lapsed member, but rejoined for this, so, for about $140 including fees, I got a seat in orchestra row H of the 300s for the last Saturday of previews, a seat which would almost certainly be a $300+ premium for the general sale.

I had a 15 minute wait and then the system kept crashing. After 43 minutes I finally got tickets. They were not what I wanted but I got tickets. I found it to be faster to check out as a guest. I tried buying while logged in and that is when the crashing occurred.

For that price I could see 3-4 shows easy. That’s my justification.

Still paused after 20 minutes. Typical Telecharge clusterf*ck. Simply incapable of properly selling tickets to a popular show. Embarrassing. Of course, this hasn’t prevented tickets from popping up on resale sites. Not sure why I bother with this irritating crap.

I wouldn’t necessarily assume they are legit. Many sites have users posting “speculative tickets” where they don’t have the tickets in hand and instead are either looking to scam or will only buy the tickets once someone pays their absurd price.

Love how they hide ticket prices. I still have no idea what the price range is for seats. Ridiculous. A little transparency would be nice.

Maybe try using your phones to purchase? I couldn’t get through on my browser but on my phone it was a piece of cake (pre-sale at least).

The queue is back up...and has been for about 10 minutes. Still have a 30 minute wait.

Feel like an idiot because I totally forgot this was happening. In the LincTix queue now, which it says is "paused" and will "be back momentarily." However, there's a message saying that they paused the queue at 12:45, so clearly "be back momentarily" is not really so momentarily...

Yeah I joined the LincTix queue 6 minutes late and it was a 20 minute wait (that got stretched to around half an hour before it crashed) so I'm kicking myself for missing the alert I set for noone

Also joined the regular queue, which appears to be moving. But, I'm still at "more than an hour" for both estimated arrival and wait time.
