Young Frankenstein on Amex Presale NOW — Page 3

I will try to catch the out of town try-out in Seattle :P

I think EVERYONE was surprised by this.
I had no intention of buying tickets for YF since I didn't want to pay outrageous prices for mediocre seats. Fortunately I got great seats at a reasonable price. Thanks again to YankeeFan for being observant.

I hoped that LimeLightMike snagged the Row CC 1-3 seats!

I'm hoping to get tickets soon. My mom has set a goal to get tickets for my birthday, but if we can't do that then we will try for my dad's birthday.

Anyone else keep getting offered Seat A9?

Too close, no? I figured I would go for the $120 to be this close.

I got my ticket for Friday, December 28th....row J, center Orchestra. YAY!!!

Has anyone been offered orchestra row AA? I've seen people say they bought row BB, CC, A and B but no AA.

Could that be the $25 section?

What dates are everyone searching for and finding great seats? I can't find anything decent at all.

That generally means it's sold out.

The front rows of the balcony and mezzanine are good, as well. But just the front rows.

I was offered A for numerous dates... No AA

The front rows of the balcony and mezzanine are good, as well. But just the front rows.

I got Oct 16th Row A Center Balcony for $75 each (total $170.65 using the New Math).


p.s. I hope young Mr. Frankenstein is nicer than old Mr. Brooks.

pps: Balcony Row AA would be like Orchestra Row S for a very very tall person.

To All --

I jumped online at 2AM Pacific time to get details on general sale starting July 15th (today) - to my surprise I found they were already doing pre-sales for Amex card holders AND the general sales was pushed back to July 28th. I kind of sucks for those withoug the Amex card.

I have a Gold Card only to get in on pre-sales and preferred seating offers (got tired of being shut out of those options) and found the following:

(1) Gold Preferred seating started in Orch row W
(2) Standard Amex pre-sales started in Orch row CC side (no AA or BB was to be found)
(3) Everything was on the sides

Since I prefer up close and on side - I jumped at the CC ticket (and thankful it was still there). I find that side orch aisle seats are the best in just about any theater. You are looking slightly sideways and if you are on the aisle, NO ONE is in blocking your view.

I got row CC seat 6 for a Saturday evening performance during previews but I also had C 13 or A 10 pop up during my search. I saw Ragtime in that theater and I was row AA on far right - surprisingly there were no obstructions (other than odd perception of being right AT the stage). I also had row G or J on the middle of the left side for 42nd Street and the view was fine (mainly because I was a little further back and I had a child in front of me). I would assume row AA is being held for rush tickets and who knows about BB.

For what it is worth, I find that the Dress Circle and Balcony are too far back from the stage in this theater because it is such a BARN (what were they thinking?). My seating preferences usually go side orchestra and front loge in most theaters - but with this theater I nix the dress circle (nice name for front loge or front mezzanine).

I was lucky to see the Producers with Lane/Broderick and liked it but did not LOVE it like everyone else (the performances made the show for me). Can't wait to get to NYC and see this - the cast is too good for it to suck and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the movie.

I think that we can all agree that Ticketmaster is the absolute worst ticketing system out there.

For my YF tickets...and, I do this all the time when buying through TM......I pick a certain date, and open up 5 or 6 windows and search each of them at the same time. That way, I can pick what seats come up...and, at least you have a choice. That seems to work for me.

Telecharge's site is so much better. If you don't like the seat that is automatically selected, you can ask it again and another seat will come up. On TM, if you clear it out and try again, the same seat comes up....not good!
