Same Day Tix for Come From Away & Hello Dolly (w/ Bette)

Anyone know how easy it is to get same day tickets for these two shows, either at TKTS or at the box office? These are two of the five shows I hope to see when I'm in New York City in November. The other shows seem like they will be fairly easy to secure tickets to on the day of (with the exception of Dear Evan Hansen which I have already purchased a ticket for). I don't usually pre-purchase a lot of tickets in case I have to cancel my trip. So I usually buy through TKTS or the box office on the day of.

I see that Hello Dolly is often listed at the TKTS booth, but I'm not sure if that is usually on the days that Bette is not playing. Nothing against Donna Murphy, but I really want to see Bette, if I can.

Also, although I have seen some spectacular shows by standing in line for a SRO or rush tickets, I'm not interested in doing that this time as I have a limited time in New York City and don't want to spend a lot of it standing in lines.

Thanks in advance for any helpful replies.

I just checked and of course you were correct. Only tix available during my trip are Premium and start at $500+. My trip also doesn't include a Tuesday so seeing it with Donna Murphy isn't even an option. Looks like I'll be paying the hotel concierge through the nose when I get there to see Hello Dolly! like I did for Hamilton although these prices make my Ham ticket seem like a bargain now. Not willing to spend that much money upfront right now.

Thanks for your help. Think I'll be okay buying same day for Come From Away?

Last-minute non-premium ($199-$229) tickets for Dolly! with Bette have been popping up on Telecharge pretty regularly. For example, there are several great $229 orchestra seats for tonight's show available on there right now. Since it sounds like you're willing to wait until the day of, that will probably be your best and cheapest option. Just keep checking Telecharge as the date approaches, and don't believe the people that say it's practically impossible to get tickets. It's very possible, and, in my opinion, not difficult at all if you know how to look for them.

The Dolly ticket, in my opinion, is so worth it. MAYBE tickets will open up on the date, but I couldn't be sure.



Also, I know this isn't the subject of your post, but I saw Come from Away and Hello, Dolly on the same day and it was one of the best days of my life! Just thought I'd like to share that you will LOVE these shows!

Thanks SassySam. I think this is going to be a great trip!

Just wondering how "last minute" last minute is. I've decided I'm willing to pre-purchase if I can get a non-premium orchestra seat for Hello Dolly!, but I'm kinda driving myself crazy checking Telecharge multiple times per hour (I'm aware it's not last minute for November tix, but I'm kinda OCD). Also, wondering if tickets aren't available in the morning, do they ever pop up later in the day or is it pretty much a bust for that day? Thanks for your assistance.

Beautiful seat! Now you can relax!
