If you do exchange your ticket through the exchange link, you will be charged on your credit card for the new date, and receive a refund for the original one. It's a very easy process and Telecharge is always very, very good with issuing refunds - for whatever reason. Whenever I have refunded tickets, it's always been very quick and easy."

How long does it usually take? I asked for a refund yesterday without exchanging because it's too far in advance for me."

I requested a refund, and the webpage that confirmed the request (not on Telecharge) said

"Want to check the status of your request?

1. Go to your Telecharge Order Status page.
2. Enter your email address and order number.
3. Look for the Delivery Instructions section and see if it says "Your tickets have been cancelled." This means your refund has been facilitated!
4. Your bank may take 10 days or longer to process the refund. Look for a credit from Telecharge Services on your statement."

That time frame would be pretty much in line with how long it took for refunds to process when my shows in May were cancelled.

I originally had tickets for 12/2; Telecharge moved them to 6/30, which didn't work for me, so I exchanged for September. I'm really happy with this because I got slightly better seats, and I definitely prefer coming to NYC in September rather than December or June!

PutonyourWarPaint said: "I must be in the small percentile of ticket buyers who will now be seeing the show in previews, instead of after opening. Had them for 10/22 after the 10/15 opening. Now i have them 5/12 before a 5/20 opening.

Kinda miffed? Yesssssssss siiirrrr, yeeeeeeessssss, siir.

Anyone else a little upset about this?"

I'm in the same boat. Initially had tickets for Friday 10/23, my date is now 5/14 which is the last week of previews. I'm not 100% sure what to expect as I've never been to a broadway show during previews, but I'm tempted to try and flex out of it for a later date that's after the official opening. Can anyone weigh in on this? Any risk Hugh/Sutton won't be performing during previews or that there will be large scale differences in the show/experience?

If anyone is looking to exchange for decent $99 seats after opening, left mezzanine aisle seats in rows E-G are available for Sunday, 5/23.

5/14 should be one of the first "frozen" performances, and critics will be there to review the show. For all intents and purposes, you'll be seeing it exactly as it'll be on opening night. Another plus is that principal cast members don't miss shows during press week. For this reason, I almost exclusively see shows during the last week of previews. There's a far better chance of absences after opening.

Absolutely. Also,Music Manis already such a well-known andadmired piece that Jerry Zaks may not even make notable changes for this old-fashioned revival, if any. Most/all of their previews could already be more-or-less "frozen." Original musicals tend to see more significant changes made during the preview period."

Based on what Scott Rudin said when he gave the interview to Hollywood Reporter announcing the revival, he is promising a more spectacular version. They had a long workshop ( close to a month?) in September 2019 ( which seems to have focused on the dance aspects) and another one later on( 2 weeks or so with Hugh and Sutton in February 2020), Looking forward to this --

""When you take on one of the 10 or so great, beloved titles, you're trying to do the urtext version of it," he continued. "That's what I think we did with Dolly and what we're going to do here. We're going to do it in a way that no one has ever seen it before. It's going to be big and beautiful and super-luxe and gorgeous and incredibly romantic, and very much in the world of why the show has lasted for 60 years."

Yeah, I was also waiting for the presale info to be emailed. They did seem to remove all references to the presale and regular on-sale (tomorrow) from the site.

Now Telecharge just says tickets are closed except for current ticket holders. Nothing about July 24th. Also no info on the musical's website.

This kind of concerns me. I really hope they're just rescheduling the day the tickets will go on sale again.

The Music Man's website does have the following piece of information posted on their "Important Ticket Information" page: "If you wish to exchange your seats for a different performance, this will need to be done by midnight on JULY 23, 2020. After this point, all remaining seats will be released for sale to the general public."

It sounds like tickets might be going on sale tomorrow, 7/24, although, based on Sutton's post, maybe that's not the case. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

You don't have to refund for cancelled performances that no one bought tickets to

That information has been on that page since the day they announced the new dates.

Sounds reasonable, thanks for the info Lexi.
