THANKY YOU, musikman! I did just as you suggested at 1:57 or so pm and was taken right to the purchase page when I logged back in without having to wait in a queue. Was able to get a pair of Row J center for second preview and also for early December. Done shortly after 2.

We'll see how it goes...I like the rush of seeing if I can get the ticket! After joining queues for Merrily and seeing the huge availability they still have I am hopeful...
Otherwise another trip will be in order..."
I"m in town 9/28 and 9/29. Got Merrily for the 28th and HWA for the 29, and BTW, there is a lot of availability for the 29th. The biggest lesson of the day: if you encounter technical issues, log out and log back in.
Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. A quick query: Once on the site to choose tickets, are you able to check on different dates for the best options without the risk of getting logged off?
I’m only looking for a pair of tickets for one performance (although my dates are limited to two weeknights in mid-October), so it should be straightforward enough. But I gather the biggest challenge is getting in the queue in the first place.

I have the same question. Hope someone can answer this.

I was on the Loading banner in Chrome for at least 20 minutes before I opened up Firefox and got in almost immediately (though I think I took too long to purchase since it kicked me back into the queue at some point). The fee is $5 per ticket, which isn't bad."
They charged you a $5 per ticket fee? I bought two tickets for $144 each and there were no fees added on at all--total cost on my credit card was $288.

Look carefully - I bet your final charge is $298. Mine was.

Just checked again. The final total on my receipt from The Shed was $288, and the charge that hit my credit card account was the same. And I'm Builder 1 level, not 2. Guess I just got lucky, although after paying those ticket prices, seems like the least they can do!
There is no performance listed for Thursday October 19th, but there are regularly scheduled shows on Wednesday the 18th (2pm; 8pm) and Friday the 20th (8pm).
Sorry if this was asked before, I did a quick search. Did anyone receive a link for the presale or did you just log in to get tickets at the scheduled time? Just want to make sure I'm ready for today at 12pm!

Log in, there is no need to wait for an email. Once you log in go to the Here We Are page and it should say member presale. If you don't see it try logging out and in. Good luck!
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)

I have been in the Shed before, but I sat in Row M of the orchestra (great view, by the way). I purchased GG seats for this, and I have no idea how they will be. I figure I will take a chance! It really depends on the director and how "in the round" he wants to get. Since the side sections are small and most of the audience will be seated in the orchestra, we have to hope for the best! But I needed to go for that price point.
If you're not logged in, once you get through the queue it will redirect you to a page to purchase a membership. I would suggest opening another tab or window and logging in to join the queue.
