The Official TDF Thread — Page 65

Picked up a pair of tickets for the Cher Show for Friday the 22nd (my mom and I have been entering the lottery occasionally, but when I saw a Friday we grabbed them). Anyone get Cher tickets the first time they were up and can share where their seats were?

I got a TDF ticket to Choir Boy last week -- right orchestra, row M, seat 122 -- fantastic view. Also, this show is so so so good; I highly recommend.

I just got tickets for The Band's Visit for Thursday.

Very happy.

The Band's Visit is back for Wed and Thu shows for the next two weeks.

I saw The Prom tonight orchestra row o.

Grabbed seats for Cher yesterday but just read on the other message board Block is out.

LIVID.

And while I was initially mad at TDF, when I went to the Cher website, I couldn't find that info anywhere on their ticket page either. 

So infuriating. It's one thing is someone happens to be out, but quite another when you aren't told you're buying a ticket when the star is on a scheduled vacation.

I understand your frustration and I understand the frustration that the CHER website didn't have info on a scheduled absence. However, if TDF had to keep with all that info for every show on their page, it would be a nightmare .

My ticket to Come From Away was Center Mezz, Row D. And my ticket to The Band's Visit was Left Rear Mezz, Row B.

My tickets to The Band's Visit this Wednesday were Orch Row E extreme left side. Not bad at all but probably thanks to the snowing day.  

There really is no rule of thumb that I have observed. 

For shows that haven't started previews yet, producers may release availability to TDF if tickets are not selling as expected. 

You can look at Telecharge to get an idea of how many seats are left for a particular performance, but that's not foolproof because some unsold seats may be held back for a variety of reasons. If you look on Telecharge, those seats will appear to be sold.

Once a Broadway show opens, you can look at the grosses. The higher the grosses, the less likely it will be on TDF.

Off Broadway it is hard because the grosses aren't made public. In my experience, most Off Broadway shows will appear on TDF. Of course if a show is hot and selling really well, producers don't need to list on TDF.

If a show opens and gets poor reviews, it is more likely to show up on TDF right afterward.

Plays are more likely to show up than musicals.

I would recommend taking a chance on shows on TDF in early previews!
