Roundabout Package Question.

I found this "discount" in the internet:

"See any 3 Roundabout shows for only $195"

I'm planning to buy tickets for "Anything Goes", "The Importance of Being Earnest" and "The People in the Picture".

Does anybody know how this discount works?

I entered the Roundabout site, and after choosing the shows that I want to see, the site didn't show me the available seats. So I gave up buying the tickets.

Has someone ever used this discount? When do I know the seats that I'm buying?

Maybe the discount is only good for certain dates or sections. Try calling. ANYTHING GOES is through Telecharge, the other two are through Roundabout's own ticket line.

It's a subscription package. You don't get to choose your seats - they give you the best available out of their subscriber sections.

My sister and brother-in-law had a phone solicitation about these packages. They liked the selection of shows, but had a genuine stipulation: my brother-in-law has long legs (he's 6'7") and is recovering from knee surgery. They wanted to take the tickets but only if they were on the aisle so my b-i-l could stretch his leg out once the curtain rose. He guy on the phone assured them it was no problem. When the tickets arrived, they were aisle seats, but on the OTHER aisle! My sister contacted the theater and was told all sales were final. She called American Express and told them to stop payment until the matter was resolved.

To be continued....

As subscribers they should be able to exchange their tickets.

They SHOULD be, but that's not what they're being told.
