TodayTix limited seat options

I like using TodayTix because they let you buy cancellation coverage which I have used more than once. What I don’t like is they tend to have limited seats available to choose from. When I look ahead at a show Telecharge will show me a ton of available seats where as TodayTix will show me maybe only a dozen. Why is that? Also the pricing seems to change at random. I grabbed Chess tickets for a great price. Not a special or sale and when I went back in a few minute later seats next to me were suddenly available (they were not available minutes earlier) and they were over $100 more seat. Both were center stage seats. So weird.  Would love some insight.

If you're buying a solo ticket, TodayTix operates on the policy that you can't leave single seats stranded, so if there are two seats together they just won't show it if you're only looking to buy one ticket (since that would leave the second seat as a single seat).  The same principle applies for if you're buying two seats and there are three seats together, etc.

Otherwise, I think TodayTix has some tension butting up against the usual box office players, and there's not always an open communication between them.  I'm not sure what kind of partnership they have now, but my guess is they simply don't get all the data from the primary ticketers and/or change their own seating/pricing at will.
