Interesting, Broadway plays have been priced at $41/ticket on TDF but M..Butterfly is $45/ticket.

Some are $47, depends on the show.

I paid $47 each for 2 superb center orchestra seats to a Wed. matinee of "Groundhog Day."

$47 has been the going rate for Broadway musicals for at least 3 years, with $41 the going rate for Broadway plays. Perhaps they are raising the prices again, but some Broadway plays (like Time and the Conways) are still listed as $41. Either way, it's still a good $100 lower than a full-priced ticket, so I'm not complaining.

Gotta pay that Julie Taymor premium, henny

EDIT: It's showing up on mine as $41.00, but I bet it's $45.00 after the $4 fee.

I just got this email from TDF-

 

Dear TDF Member,


We have made an error and posted the incorrect price and category for this
play which is not a musical. We originally had $45.00 per ticket.  The
correct price is $41.00 per ticket plus the $4.00 handling charge per
order.  Your credit card will reflect the correct price of $41.00 per
ticket.

More SpongeBob performances were just added including Friday and into the 2nd week of previews.

Got War Paint tickets. Anyone know where they typically are? I don’t care much, just curious. My first actual TDF purchase.

My War Paint tickets were mid/rear side orchestra.

Grabbed a Spongebob ticket out of sheer curiosity. I'll report back on seating after I go.

Latin History is up, only for tomorrow night (10/19)  but I'm sure it will be back with more dates eventually.

Anastasia has been up a few times before. This is not the first time.

Hello Dolly is up for the nights that Donna Murphy is filling in for Bette. I just got $47 tickets for Friday, Nov 3rd. I feel like this is the best dealing going right now.

Any idea when Once on This Island might appear? Starts previews in a couple weeks, and am surprised it hasn't popped up yet.

[BakerWilliams]

Posted: 10/23/17 at 2:05pm

I believe Once On This Island will not offer any discounted tickets on any platform.

Is this just conjecture, or did I miss something?

[raddersons]

Posted: 10/23/17 at 2:25pm

Also curious where you got this info from.

Once On This Island is Ken Davenport, who is pretty picky about discount tickets... but I do recall tickets to Godspell, Groundhog Day, The Visit, Kinky Boots (maybe?), and Play That Goes Wrong have all been on TDF.

[Age_of_Mendacity]

Posted: 10/23/17 at 2:39pm

Yep, Play That Goes Wrong is up there now, and I got tix to Groundhog a week or two before it closed.

I believe Davenport is billing this production as Broadway's first ever best price guarantee. I believe I saw that the best prices available will always be directly on the show's website or telecharge. I also have been curious to see if this translates to it not being on TDF.

I was wondering the same thing. According to the site it doesn't apply to TDF:
The show will only be responsible for matching prices offered on approved sales ticketing partners, including but not limited to BroadwayBox, Theatermania, Playbill, and Goldstar. A select number of charitable organizations are excluded from price matching, including but not limited to the Theatre Development Fund.

Once on this Island has tickets for $59.50 which isn't too far from what TDF would charge for a musical- it is not that massive of a theater where the seat location would honestly matter in my experience.

But there are already discount codes ...
