Roundabout Hiptix 2016-2017

They go on sale at the same time that regular tickets go on sale, so just keep your eyes on the website to find out when tickets for each show goes on sale. This season I put the dates on my calendar so that I could remember to buy Hiptix right away for each show.

"However, since the seats are in the back rows sometimes I have not been able to see very well. I was wondering if there are any particular upcoming shows that may be worth splurging for regular tickets, or shows where sitting farther back will work well?"

You might consider HipTix Gold. I've never done it since I can't afford it, but it's definitely cheaper than splurging on full-priced tickets (which you are considering doing anyway). So it might be a good deal for you since you get extra benefits, including orchestra seating.

"I am a relatively new fan and am not familiar with any shows they are offering for the upcoming season."

Do some research if you want!

"Or, are there are any particular theaters where the back row still gives a decent view?"

Personally I think the American Airlines theatre is quite intimate, and I've never had an issue with the back row there. Studio 54's rear-mezzanine has always felt pretty far away from the stage for me, but it's tolerable. As you said, it's also quite subjective.

Hiptix went on sale yesterday actually - I received an enail around lunchtime with the code and bought tickets to The Cherry Orchard and Love, Love, Love.

i upgraded to Gold before my purchase and was able to grab first row center mezzanine seats for both.

Welcome! Happy to have you leave the lurking behind!

^Try logging out of your account while selecting tickets, then logging back in before checking out. That has sometimes worked for me when HipTix weren't showing up.

Hiptix gold is only 75 bucks for the entire year and then you can also bring someone above the age of 30. If you have someone to go with you can split it so it's only 37 bucks a year. Well worth the money for the upgraded seats

I jumped on She Loves Me and Noises Off when they went on sale but I'm not that excited about Holiday Inn or The Cherry Orchard or the casts. I am interested in both shows but not enough to book this far in advance.

I also recommend the Gold upgrade if you want to see multiple shows. I got the front row center mezzanine for She Loves Me and the seat was perfect. Gonna be there again for Holiday Inn.

Just to clarify: With standard HipTix, your guest can be of any age, there is no restriction for your +1. You don't need to upgrade to HipTix Gold to bring an older guest.



This must be new, being able to bring a guest of any age was one of the big perks of the gold membership. I remember picking up tickets and both of us having to show ID. Thanks for the update!

From Roundabout's website: "You can purchase 2 tickets for each production with your Hiptix membership and your guest can be any age."
