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.

Isn't it possible that productions only release select seats to specific auxiliary ticket sellers like TodayTix, particularly if discounts are involved? Similar to how a discount code might only be listed at Playbill or BroadwayBox, but not both.

I just checked and at least for Hell's Kitchen, it definitely changed availability based on whether I chose 1 or 2 tickets. I'm a silver member, so perhaps it's waived for gold.

I haven't had that problem arise in New York, but I was trying to get a solo ticket for Hadestown in London a few weeks ago and it wouldn't let me leave a single seat when blocks of two were showing up, even though I had 1 ticket in the search. So like any good ticket buyer, I went to the Nimax website, put the one I didn't want in my basket there, and then bought the one I wanted on TodayTix.
