There is an ebay auction for Wicked tix. Link enclosed.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=16122&item=2267320999&rd=1


Current price is 197.50 for the pair with about an hour to go. These are for the October 31 matinee.

Is that a good price given that this is a sellout? These are partial view and many have posted on here that the view in those seats is excellent.

Thanks

Yes. That is almost the price you would normally pay for those tickets, and Row E is fifth row!

well, row E really isn't 5th row...I think it's 8th row? They start with AA, BB, CC...I think A is after that. But yeah, that's definitely a good price for them.

Row E is not 5th row, they start with BB-EE, then A, B, etc. Also those are $55 tickets, so it is almost double what you would normally pay. Personally I wouldn't pay that much of a mark-up unless the profit goes to a charity, like BCEFA or Actors Fund.

If you want good seats you can get them a couple days before the show at regular price, or wait on the cancellation line.

I think thats a good price. They usually go for like 100 a seat for evening performances. So basically you're paying a little more than a regualr matinee price but cheaper than the evening. And they're good seats! BUY THEM!

It's a bit over priced... but try for the cancellations or the lottery... althought that's difficult to win on a NORMAL performance date...

It's pretty much the going rate unless you get discounted tickets.
