SUNSET BLVD. Reviews — Page 55

I'm really puzzled by some of the reports here. They're moving your tickets, without warning, to a week later because of the extension? Is this at all normal? It doesn't make any sense to me.

Moving tickets automatically makes NO sense... what the heck. I get that some might be disappointed purchasing tickets to what they think was the closing but that's always a risk. Shows often extend, it happens. To just move someone's ticket without asking is insanity.

It would have been even more insanity if they didn't move them. They are offering full refund for those who can't attend.

No, that would not have been more insanity. You were just on the phone for an hour with them you said. That wouldn't have happened if they left it alone or offered the move without automatically doing it. If they just offered to move, sure. But to automatically move the tickets. That is not standard practice by any means. I know a refund can happen but I'm sure there are many people who cannot make the 20th and will be upset to not still have the option of keeping their seats on the 13th.

I'm confused about the need for exchanges and such, like why couldn't they just move your tickets back to the 13th if you can't make the 20th? Is there something happening on the 13th they need the extra tickets for?"

Is the whole thing even legal?

I think one of the reasons they automatically moved everyone is the tickets to the final were all sold at premium prices. I know where I am sitting the tickets kept going up in price to close to $1000.00. The last row of the Orchestra on the sides right now are going for $444.65 and seats in Row P center are $778.97.

The people who want to stay with the 13th can get a refund and repurchase at a lot cheaper price than what they paid originally and there is a lot of seats available.

I was content with the two times I saw the show. But now they extended so of course I had to buy a seat for the last Tuesday. Dammit.

Also dammit? ATG and their stupid random pricing structure. For people like me who need round numbers, it's an itch I can't scratch.

It's looking like demand is picking up again for Sunset. Do we think this is a natural part of a long run coming to an end in a couple months or has there been a lot of marketing/Tony campaigning efforts that have worked recently? Or both?

Been wondering the same thing. The press as of late has been unbelievable. I don't think there was this much coverage when it opened - but since April on it's been non-stop - which has been awesome to see, but curious as an observer. I'm still surprised they didn't have Nicole and Tom do a "Perfect Year" single release in November for the Christmas season and keep the momentum into the Winter doldrums.

I'm really hoping Sunset has a great night tomorrow (if they nab 4 - Best revival, Best Actress, Best Orchestrations and Best Lighting) I'll be thrilled (If I'm greedy, Best Actor for Tom :) ) and that they announce a "return" to the Savoy for a limited run/pro-shot

I still don't understand the need to add the extra week.

The extra week is for the demand winning best revival. The prices are crazy that’s why it doesn’t sell

That's true of most shows though... I just checked Hamilton for example and found the same thing. It's rare that people purchase tickets far in advance any longer."

I am aware. I was responding to post #1365 suggesting demand has picked up.

"

I think their point is that in recent weeks attendance and ticket prices/grosses have been picking up. There's been a few dates that I noticed sold out the day of the performance which for those obsessing and watching on a regular basis hadn't happened since the Fall-December.
