tickets are a little expensive for orchestra seats ($135.00 plus approx $10 in fees for service charges). I know it is hard to say but what is everyone's input as to whether or not there will be a discount code after the presale?

By the way, I saw a code for the presale without needing to have the am.express card and the seats were center orch. Very nice seats.

Sometimes for previews shows will bump it down. I think A Tale of Two Cities last summer (last show I saw in previews/paid) was either $79 or $99, regularly $121.50. Not much - but something.

yes, but if they don't have a good presale showing, would they then offer a discount code? or is this a show that you think tickets will be hard to get once it opens?

It's months away so it's pretty hard to judge. Some folks here are chomping a the bit, and others have no desire to check it out.

But it's a money thing: if they can sell the tix at (the obnoxiious) full price -- there will be no discount -- period. However, with the reported costs of this production, I wonder just how much of a discount the could afford to give.

I think this show may have the longest AmEx presale in history... June 24 through September 12.

Looking at the pricing, orchestra seats are always $137 plus fees. But the other seating areas fluctuate depending on the performance. Wednesday and Thursday matinees have seats as low as $59.50.

This is a tough one to call though. Depending on how this presale goes, they could either issue a discount the day of the public sale or never issue one at all.

How will we know now? It can go either way. If it is a constant sell out, discounts will be very rare. If it suffers the same fate Young Frankenstein did, then yes, you will see discounts.
