They've had a small handful of dates available for at least a week and they stop at 6/8. Anyone more familiar with how TDF works know how likely /soon more shows will be added? Worried about putting this off too long and getting nothing, even at retail price. I know....at the end of the day it's a crap shoot."
I'm certainly not an experienced veteran, but from what I've seen, TDF tickets are often listed only days in advance. For Spongebob, it seems like they list a bunch of dates up to a couple weeks in advance, but may end up adding more dates as it gets closer, so just keep an eye out. I got Friday night Spongebob tickets 9 days in advance. I remember they had Sunday tickets available too, but I chose Friday. The tickets seemed to be available for a while, too, so I wouldn't worry about them selling out fast. I think Spongebob is one of the easier shows to get through TDF, rush, or lottery, so your chances of getting your desired date are pretty good. Another tip is to keep your eye on Telecharge, just to see how your show is selling. I always figure that if the theater is still half empty, there's a good chance you will be able to get cheap tickets.
