I'm thinking about it..
frapperia, did you use a site to buy your ticket? I can't seem to find any tickets less than 100...maybe I missed the boat on the cheap tickets.

Posted: 7/18/09 at 2:41pmYou have to select a specific section of the house (the rear mezzanine) to get the $25 tickets.

Frapperia bought her ticket off me; I bought it off the Delfont Mackintosh website. And I don't suppose you'll be able to get *any* £10 tickets for the Broadway run.

Posted: 7/18/09 at 2:44pmDo we think there will be a student rush, or discount tickets, or are those mezz seats it for seeing this cheaply?
re: Who bought their tickets for HAMLET??#29
Posted: 7/18/09 at 2:45pmI think their will be a discount code and probably student rush but student rush is usually about $26.50 so if you're set on seeing the show and don't wanna risk getting/not getting student rush I'd go with the $25 seats.

Posted: 7/18/09 at 4:01pmTelecharge lists standing room tickets for $21.50, but the box office isn't open yet, so I can't verify that.

Posted: 7/18/09 at 5:36pmBox office sales started today.

I know that. I said the box office (meaning the physical office at the theater). It usually opens a few weeks after Telecharge sales start. They're the place to go to verify rush/SRO policies, since they're the ones who sell them.
EDIT: Okay, I just checked and the box office did open today. My mistake. I still haven't been able to check, though, because I haven't been into Manhattan yet today.
EDIT AGAIN: Wait, no, MARY STUART is still playing there until August 16. Theaters don't sell tickets for two shows at once. Now I'm confused.

Since they're selling over 100 tickets for $25 to each performance, plus however many at $21.50 for standing room, I'm pretty sure that's it for student-friendly prices (aka most likely no student rush). There will most likely be discount codes, but that'll be around $45 at the least.
And Weez, I would be happy to give a comparison between this production and the Shakespeare in the Park production. Lauren Ambrose was to die for. (Though I preferred her as Juliet.)

Posted: 7/18/09 at 10:50pmLauren Ambrose was definitely my favorite thing about the recent Shakespeare in the Park production of Hamlet. I'm also interested to see how this new production compares.

Posted: 7/19/09 at 9:08amLooking forward to seeing this one - I got a ticket during the presale. In the meantime I found a DVD of Richard Burton's filmed rehearsal for his Broadway Hamlet on Amazon.
