I don't know if there is already a thread but Sweeney at Barrow Street just released 4 partial view tickets for the performances in March after opening. They're $85.

Thanks for the info.  I'm trying to get tickets for Sunday night, April 30th.  I'll continue to check the site to see if those same seats will be released for April.

does anyone who's familiar with the production happen to know what 'restricted view' entails? thanks!

I just bought some seats that opened up for a preview (and meat pies). Hope the view from the upstairs counters is alright; they weren't listed as restricted on the site. Very excited about this one!

I just called the theatre and a lot of the action takes place in the house, and on the tables - so there's twisting and turning that you'll have to do to watch the actors as they perform.  That's what the "restricted views" are referring to.

Just an FYI/warning. We love being in the middle of these immersive shows, and so prefer these "partial view" to seats elsewhere, and so bought a few. We were very much looking forward to having the meat pies and the whole experience. I was a bit confused: the website states " When selecting and purchasing seats, you have the option to buy tickets that include pie and mash cooked fresh daily by Bill." and I kept waiting for the choice which never came. (This could describe any of the screens you pass from selecting a date to final checkout). Since the website makes clear that you need to order in advance, I sent them an email thinking that I must have missed the option somewhere. 

Then they drop the bombshell "[some] locations..in the shop...cannot be purchased with pre-show pie and mashI". This is not, as far as I can see, explained anywhere on the website nor was it clear during checkout..  I've since tried to buy tickets for later in the run, and see that seats where you can buy dinner have that option when you select them. Without a point of comparison (all remainng seats at the date I selected are apparently not eligible for pies), I'm not clear how I was supposed to intuit the missing option. Very poor UI . Not very happy right now.

I wonder why some seats are not eligible for pies? Aren't all seats either at a table or a counter?

Just an update. The website now says "restricted view. No pies". It did not previous to my emails with them, afaik

 

Update: they have told me that the website changes to note the seat restrictions didn't go live when the seats did, and are offering me a refund so i can get at another time (likely much later in the run, since they are mostly sold out). At least they have good customer service.

Glad they were able to take care of you, JustAnotherNewYorker.
