The Official TDF Thread — Page 96

Right -- I was referring to capital-B Broadway shows, of which there are 13 currently listed but only 4 for Sat & Sun. Time of year, popularity of the show, and lifecycle of the show are all factors.

I got Mezzanine Row G Seat 110 and Mezzanine G Seat 19 for mine.  Separate because of being 2 different orders.

Rosette3 said: "I'm thinking of signing up for TDF and was wondering if TDF was useful for an out of town/weekend visitors? From posts seems like most offerings are weekday nights? Are weekend Sat/Sun shows common? I typically do Sat/Sun weekend trips and rush for tickets but am trying to buy more in advance if it's an affordable option.
"

Yes. I'm from 2.5hrs away and have gotten great seats for shows on weekends. Just have to get them the week of those as you can't on the weekend. 

Freestyle Love Supreme last night, 7PM show, Orch F 1 and 3. Great seats! 

A SOLDIER'S PLAY is up for several dates starting 12/28!

I do have a question though. Can I buy tickets for for my daughter and friend using my account and they pick them up at the box office?"

I guess it depends on the show, because I recall hearing some success stories, but I usually stick to the policy that the account holder is the one who has to obtain the tickets (if anything because of the need to have ID at pickup time.

(Also, if anyone is interested, shameless plug, my Playbill sale page is up on the Buy/Sell Board successfully now)

Unless it states the ID policy, it should be fine. I’ve been using my moms account for years and have never had an issue. We have the same last name. They don’t even always ask for ID."

 

Where is the ID policy posted? My son has gotten us tickets a few times and he always picks them up. Last time he did so at Evita (City Center) they only wanted his credit card so in theory I could have gotten them (I have a card with his name on it). But he said that there have been times when he has to show photo ID.

TDF sometimes puts a reminder for theaters that require id. I remember they mentioned it when King Kong tickets would pop up."

FWIW, i have been asked for ID more than a few times. Once, I was meeting a friend and asked her to just go up and ask for tickets under my name. This was at the Lyceum. The box office threw a fit and essentially called her a thief- even after I showed up, ID in hand, they sent a note about me TO TDF. It really goes by whoever is manning the box office; different theaters have different policies.

Did TDF raise prices again? $49 is usually the musical price. Still a bargain and this has a great cast.

It's finally up!

How are the seats for Phantom of the Opera? They are available for dates in February...
