TheaterMania Gold Club, Audience Extras, Play By Play — Page 10

Wanted to bump this again. Looking at joining one of these and wondering which (currently) have the most offerings. Any advice helps!

Are these still the big 3 for comp tickets?

Interesting, I post a similar question but did not get a reply. I saw that Play by Play had a great review before, but $55 to $75 a ticket, what are the advantage of membership then? If you get to 1/2 price ticket booth, the price is about $75. I saw this way " Beautiful: The Carole King" about $80 half price, as well as "Something Rotten", "Color Purple", but I thought the whole idea that you can see Broadway cheap if you join Play by Play. Any other experience?

I have been very happy with the customer service of Play-By-Play and although I am told many papering sites are lacking broadway tickets due to decent sales, I am sticking with them. I would though like to try another site as well.

Yes, I agree. I was a member of Gold Club for a few years, and I did see Broadway shows on a semi-regular basis. You could pretty much look at the week's grosses, pick out the shows at the bottom on the list, and it was pretty likely you would see offers from those. No longer.

Any Broadway been offered on Theatre Gold recently? Considering starting up my membership again this week.

I will say that PBP has redesigned their website and it is one of the worst site re-designs I've ever seen, especially if you're using the site on a phone.

Not to go into detail, as it's not permitted, but they now offer "mystery" offerings where you are unsure where the event takes place, aside from a note that says the venue can be reached by subway.

Icing on the cake, for me, were the 2 "spam" emails I received from them, which contained, what seemed to be every email address of every member. I had to contact them twice because they ignored my complaint the first time. They apologized and asked me to delete the emails, but I wonder how much they protect member personal information. I will probably not renew, for these reasons.

And, yes, offerings are a crapshoot with no guarantees.

I'm not renewing once my current membership expires. Aside from the fact that the site is nearly unusable on the mobile, I hate that now you can't even see whether a show is sold-out or not unless you have enough money in your account. I'm not going to load $50 only to find out the show is sold-out.

Bumping this thread to see if anyone has any insight as to how papering services have been over the last month or so. Are there any that are worth signing up for, in your opinion(s)? Feel free to shoot me a PM, if need be.
