THE MUSIC MAN Has Officially Been Rescheduled For April 7th, 2021 — Page 4

I am in the same boat as so many other people. My original seats were on dates that worked for me. The new dates don't. I am supposed to fly from Florida to the Big Apple 2 weeks later so I went to change the tickets. The system said that from April 7th to October 31st is totally sold out. Has anyone else be able to seats during this time period?

Can't wait! This should be a hot ticket if both stars commit, and if the pandemic subsides/a vaccine is in place or has been distributed.

Try it late at night or in a few days.

Doubt it's truly sold out as they're not starting regular sales til end of July. (presale on 7/23, regular on-sale 7/24) Gonna be a LOT of cancellations from the original sales I'd imagine, so some should open up.

Damn. I am in the same situation. Had tickets for September 15thish, and they were changed to April 15thish. I contacted them saying that I would definitely not be able to attend the selected performance, and asked if there was anything for September of October. Failing that, I requested a refund.

Personally, as much as I want it to be, I still do not see any reason to believe that the Great White Way will be open in 9 months, with huge numbers of people already vaccinated, so that April date is still not going to work IMO. Unfortunately, I am beginning to think that I am never going to see this revival, since my only reason for getting tickets was to see Jackman as Harold Hill. Since I assume that his contract will be up by no later than April 2022, the only likely options will be to see it with a replacement (I don't actually like MM enough to do that) or make a special trip up for a post 10/21 date when there are tickets available, which just seems too expensive to me since (assuming we are past Covid) means that airfare prices will be on their steady way up (between Nov and April).

Now, I am going to start hoping that Rudin does not make the same mistake / decision he made with Dolly, and does agree to have it filmed / taped for whatever streaming service is willing to pay big bucks to show it. Wont be the same, but better than nothing.

"Since you are already a ticketholder forthis strictly limited engagement your booking has been automatically transferred to a new performance"

The last ticket date allowed for release is November 14 - would that be the end of the road for this show? Or is that just pure marketing hype?"

I was wondering the same thing. I'd bought tickets to see it this Thanksgiving with family that lives out of town. The new date in June 2021 works for me, but not them. They said they'd be fine seeing it with someone other than Hugh Jackman (if they continue the show after he leaves like they did with Hello Dolly after Bette Midler). Per the email we have to decide what to do with our tickets before July 23rd and I don't know if they'll announce any extensions before then

Hi. You're right. I was not going through the exchange link. I didn't realize the email carefully so I wasn't initially going through that link. Once I went through the exchange link I saw 18 orchestra seats during the month of April. I am really really hoping that someone cancels two orchestra seats for the weekend I will be there in April. Yes I know it will still be the preview time period but I would rather see him during previews that try to figure out how to make another trip the Big Apple. Plus, I'm sure Hugh in previews is still awesome.

Couple of questions with the exchange - 1) are you able to view the other available seats without giving up your original ones? I don't want to lose our seats if there is nothing comparable available. We are front row center mezz, so we are very happy with the location, but the date is another story...might have a work issue.

Also, when exchanging, are they allowing you to do a straight exchange or are you responsible for paying for any upcharges (for the same area)? We bought our seats the moment they went on sale and before they took the ticket sales offline our same seats had gone up enormously in price on similar dates.

The email I received said after new purchase was made, old tickets will be refunded. They are actually pretty organized it is pretty impressive fore them.

Yes, they won’t cancel and refund your old tickets until you actually buy the new ones. I was worried about that too, but decided to try it anyway. So I’ve looked for tickets using the exchange button a couple of times today, even starting to purchase new ones because I wanted to see if I had to pay more money. Once I realized, yes, I’d have to pay quite a bit more, I didn’t go through with the purchase. I still see the date they assigned me in my orders and it allows me to continue checking back, so I didn’t lose them.

Thanks LexiGirl! I was able to exchange. $30 more but the seats are a bit better.
