Really? I'm asuming, anyway. These are tips? Are they concerned about their advance already? Seems odd.

I saw the show a second time last week --- place was packed -- although I didn't look up at the mezz. (I didn't like the show any better the 2nd time around, but I didn't dislike it any more, either -- but both my kids certainly enjoyed the heck out of it!)
I know I got these discounted -- which is how I like all my tickets! I haven't even looked to see if there is a current discount out there. While it's not my cup of tea, I would have hoped it get a nice healthy run.

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen a discount like that. Odd.

What's genius about it?
It's called selling in advance.
Has the "cult" depleated already?
It's a perfect Summer Show.

Actually, its now the price for orchestra seats Mon - Wed, starting 8/20 with the reduced price available until the end of Sept -- but it looks like you can buy the tickets further out. I would say early in the week advance must be REALLY weak -- but not a bad idea to reduce the price.
Of course the discount is pretty scant according to B'way Box...$99 is the reduced price, but they are quoting regular price at only $111. (which doesn't seem right)

The discount is for Front Mezz only (which are the Best seats for NEWSIES anyway). Honestly though Disney had a similar and greater discount running for Summer Tickets through August 18th for $85 if you purchased by June 18th, and its been selling out consistently at over 90% of possible profit with that discount. So it has been working for them, and its great for repeat business.
I just got the release in an email, so I guess it was meant to be an ad.

Posted: 7/10/12 at 7:52pmThere are 99 dollar seats in the orchestra, and $90 and some in the 80s range. Very odd though. Extreme sides, if they are close, sides further back and the last few rows.

Posted: 7/10/12 at 10:58pmStandard orchestra price is $120/ticket. Or at least it was two and a half months ago.
