Warriors tix? — Page 3

We all know why the prices for desirable seats are so high - because Warriors will have to be a massive hit for a long time to have any chance of recouping. I am both curious and skeptical about this musical, and we opted for slightly less expensive seats (Row R on the right side) than we briefly considered.

No idea on staging, of course, but we’re close to where we sat to see the Sweeney Todd revival a few years ago - and that will have to be good enough.

If I lived in NYC, I would probably wait it out. But I am in town on vacation in early April and already have bought tickets for 4 shows before this one, so our options were Sunday or Wednesday. Thursday, it turns out, is Opening Night. Price and seat availability determined the rest.

The show will also sell the first two rows for $19.79 via lottery, beginning March 9, 2027. More details to be announced at a later date."

The first two rows being a $20 lottery is laudable. Calling $79 "affordable", and shoving every person that does not have $150 into a lottery for the privilege to spend that amount, is not"

While they do have cheaper seats, OPERATION MINCEMEAT has a similar lottery for $79 advance tickets - usually for the first few premium rows - which has seemingly helped their long game in part by creating repeat business . We don’t know what seats that lottery is offering yet, so this might be very similar to that.

This is all almost exactly my situation. Already there in April, already had purchased several shows. Only slots I had open were Wednesday before opening and Saturday, and the prices being much lower on Wednesday opted for that. I ended up in Row S, in the middle on the aisle. The LF is so huge, but thinking this may be sort of a spectacle so hoping we're not too far back. But wasn't paying the price to sit closer

Are they anticipating some kinda post-Tony surge that can justify them increasing the prices even further? Or maximising current profits by limiting the window?

Do any of the usual excuses cover this? High production costs? Union rules? Inflation?

Is he seriously worried about recouping?

It's awful, isn't it? The Jacobs is "almost" as bad in my experience but each and every time I've had to sit or stand near the back at the Lunt, it's just the most infuriating experience.

I’m not surprised at all about the ticket prices. OF COURSE they will start high. The chance to see LMM’s first new show since Hamilton is going to be of interest to a lot of people — including scalpers. And if it doesn’t sell at that price point, then they can reduce, or they can add more inventory to the $79 scheme. (I don’t think this is guaranteed to be a hit. It’ll start strong coasting on Lin’s name, but the show itself will have to rise above Lin.)

These prices could also be way worse. There is a nice selection of good orchestra seats under $195, and $99 mezz seats at some performances.

I’m sure a new block of seats will be released no later than the day after opening, if not sooner. Many a show has put a limited number of weeks on sale first to push buyers to early perfs.
