So When Do Tickets to Encores! APPLAUSE Go On Sale?

I just went and checked the City Center website and it says tickets were supposed to go on sale in October but I can't find a link to actually buy the tickets. Does anyone know when they actually go on sale or why they are taking so long?
I imagine it has something to do with the fact they have yet to announce the main cast (save for Ebersole, of course).

Actually, it's because like most subscriber-based theatre (and opera and dance) organizations, they want to force you to buy a full subscription before they put individual shows on sale. Single seats probably won't be available for a few more weeks.

Thanks, Margo.
I am pretty sure by this time last year I had bought my FOLLIES ticket and they had announced just about everyone involved except for Victor Garber. I'm just trying to plan a trip to the city for next year so I'm a bit anxious. Their website has the wrong info regarding single tickets sales I guess.

Give City Center a call when you get a chance. Perhaps, they just haven't made single seats available online yet.

The single seat tickets have been on sale for a while now. They don't make them easy to find though. You have to go through the calendar page...not through the Encores header.

I sat in the front gallery for Gypsy for $25 and the view was fine.

I like this show but the score is very very dated. What do think makes that very dated sound, is it the orchestrations or the composition itself?

"The single seat tickets have been on sale for a while now. They don't make them easy to find though. You have to go through the calendar page...not through the Encores header."

That's exactly how I got mine. They're probably trying to push the subscriptions. I didn't renew this year because I'm going to be out of town for both Juno AND No No Nannette and it would be a waste to have tickets to all three and miss two.

jay* ~ I sat in front and rear for Gypsy and found all the "GOD! IT'S SOOOOOO BAD!" posts on here to be pretty much untrue. I didn't mind it at all. And I can be something of a seat snob...or I thought I could. But I didn't have a problem with them. At all.

Thanks everyone for their input. I will look for tickets tonight though I'm still not convinced I should buy them without hearing who's gonna be in the cast.
Encores! is pretty good in terms of casting but I don't think Ebersole is a big enough name to carry a show that is mundane without a big star. The score itself is pretty blah (though I do love "One Halloween," especially as performed by Penny Fuller). I am hoping for Erin Davie, Annie Hathaway, Leigh Ann Larkin, Anika Noni Rose or even Jenny Powers (the last four have a history with Encores!) to get the role.
I'm intrigued to see what names they are looking at.

I didn't renew this year either--and I had a charter subscription from the first season, two seats 15th row center for 13 years--but I just went online and got two tickets for Applause.

Why didn't you renew, if you don’t mind me asking? Were you not satisfied last year or some other reason?

Oh and why didn't you give me your seats? Updated On: 11/28/07 at 08:13 AM

If anyone ever had CityCenter related questions, you can e-mail me. [e-mail] and I can either answer your question or forward it on to the appropriate department

I'm so stoked for Applause...
