Theatermania gold

I've been googling for a while now but all I seem to find is dated information from 2012 broadwayworld message boards so I figured I'd ask here:

I'm wondering what sorts of shows and prices people are getting with their theatremania gold membership. I've been a member of Audience Extras and TDF for two years now. With AE, the tickets available have shifted hugely since I started with them and now it's almost always music concerts and avant Garde off-off...off...off broadway tickets. It's a good deal if that's your thing but I'm more interested in plays and musicals.

In posts from 2012 people mention getting comps and simply paying the $4.50 processing few but I can't find anything about that on the Theatermania website. Have they just become more like TDF where you're paying $30-$45 for broadway shows? ....in which case, is there any reason I should join when I am already a member of TDF?

I've been looking into play by play as well but previous broadway world posts made it seem like theatermania gold was a better option

Thanks in advance for the advice!

Still $4.50 per ticket. Wonderful selection of Broadway and off-Broadway. The best service so far. I'm renewing next month.

I was just looking into this (I have never heard of it before) and am also interested in what shows are offered... Sounds like it could be worth it.

Do a search on here and you will get more info. There is a thread once a week on these services. Unfortunately under the TOS we cannot discuss what shows have been offered. You sign an agreement snad your membership could be revoked.

I would say to join when Gold Club is giving a free show as an inducement. Right now the show is The Big Knife. I happened to enjoy that play and thought Cannavale was terrific. So you would get two free tickets to that, plus the year's membership. It's a great deal. I joined in August and have seen 18 shows so far.

On Wednesday they had The Big Knife, and The Testament of Mary.
It's a great service. I love it. Going to According to Goldman and Finks from this service this week.

How far in advance do they tend to post a ticket offering? I don't live in NY, but can get there on a few days notice. Just wondering if it's worth it for 'out of towners.'

No, I don't think it's worth it for out-of-towners. I have noticed that some good offerings become available in the mid to late afternoon for performances that evening. Of course, once in a while you'll get more of a heads up.

Hi all — Is Theatermania Gold Club no longer offering two free tickets to a select Broadway show as a new membership bonus? I'm not seeing anything about that at the moment on their site.

Thanks!

They offer it when they have it. I saw the most recent offering at Second Stage this week thru it.

Question: Where are the seats usually?
