Since when does the box office NOT SELL partial view seats? (DEH specific.)

This is the case, since 10/27/17, when the first partial views, starting with Ben Platt's last shows, were listed on Telecharge. At that point, the partial views for the entire block of available tickets were released, then pulled a few days later. About 2 weeks ago, they reappeared on Telecharge, but only for shows through the end of January. I haven't been checking lately, so I'm not sure if they've released any more since then.

How should we know? Ask the box office or Telecharge, not us.

You do have a choice. You always have a choice. Don't buy them. If your goal is to get them to change their mind, grumbling about it here and then buying them on-line anyway is not going to change anything.

Because the cancellation line was filled with scalpers buying them and popping them on StubHub for way more $$$ every day. If you go online, you're not going to find many, but there's a better chance that a majority of them went to fans.

Their partial view seats were $159 anyway, it's not like it was some amazing discount, considering the regular price is $199.

2) Yes, I had a choice and I chose not to buy them. I'll buy for another show. There's no show worth $170/ticket.

3) And yes, when you're buying multiple tickets, saving $40/ticket is a good amount of money. And adding $44 of unnecessary fees on top of that for no reason whatsoever isn't OK.

4) And buying tickets on Telecharge doesn't mean you can't go right over to StubHub and scalp them for a profit.

So, all of these reasons aren't really reasons. But thanks!"



You are unhinged.

I don't know why you even bothered to post. You asked a question and when people responded, you reject it because it doesn't match exactly what you want to hear.

For future reference, the box office of any show is a changeable entity from day to day. They get directives from producers, house management, theatre management and its a fluid process. Different answers on different days. Factor in a mad hit show and the variability is even greater. They have to make decisions on ticket allocation day by day, hour by hour. Some day partial views go to cast members, some days lottery, some days a lucky walk up. They probably cant or aren't going to sell them months in advance.

Plus, your attitude sucks. I only can wonder how you came across. I'm always humble and kind and I've had great luck with box office staff.

But are they being sold? When you go on Telecharge, you see a PV seat you want to buy, and then go to the box office and they refuse to sell it to you? I don't know what their release strategy is as far as when these seats become available, but going to the box office over Telecharge isn't a loophole for you to be able to get them before they are put online. So, if you don't see them online, they won't be able to sell you them.

Some shows do only sell box seats and such in person, but that doesn't seem to be the case PV/box seats with DEH.
