There will probably be more when it gets closer, or shortly after it starts. Chill out.

It's not a play about the economy.

$66 is quite a fair price for rear mezz??

Especially considering the equivalent ticket price in London would land you in the upper circle.

DCR, weren't you the one complaining about the ticket prices for A Little Night Music not that long ago?

Relax.

This is not intended to be a discount offer -- this is an advance ticketing offer. Tickets for "Enron" don't go onsale to the general public until tomorrow. Right now, they are onsale to Amex cardholders only. So to try and capitalize on the Broadway Box audience, who are avid theatregoers, they're giving them advance access to single tickets before the general sale starts tomorrow. Not of any value to you if you're looking for a discount. Potentially of value to you if you want to try and get a good seat (or better than what you might find tomorrow).

FYI, the owners of Broadway Box have been pushing this concept for a while now -- that they can sell full-price tickets too if given the opportunity and if given something "special" to offer which, in this case, is advance access to tickets. I have my doubts that the Broadway Box audience will be very responsive to full-price offers except for star-driven, white hot shows, but clearly they convinced the "Enron" producers to give it a try.

"DCR, weren't you the one complaining about the ticket prices for A Little Night Music not that long ago?"

No. I was never complaining about the ticket prices. I don't complain about the prices, if I can't afford a ticket I won't see the show. I got SRO and was simply wondering if they seat people if there are open seats.

"Dcr come on not everyone has the money to pay 121 dollars "

So don't see it.

Speaking of discounts, wondering how's La Cage's and Promises' sales are going that producers didn't put up any discounts as of yet.. (And I doubt everyone is spending $132 for both of these)..

I don't know about "La Cage" or "Promises, Promises" but I just heard a rumor (overheard, actually) that we'll be seeing a discount offer on "American Idiot" soon. I don't expect it to be too steep -- my guess would be in the $70-$90 range depending on the performance -- but even with their "record-breaking" numbers (per their Facebook page, though not sure what records they're referring to), I guess their relatively narrow advance sale window before previews start and their very large theatre have made this a necessity.

Strange.

I bought my tickets for ENRON way back in December. I had been checking Telecharge every now and again to see when the "Find Tickets" link would appear. I clicked it. Punched-in my debit (as I don't use an AmEx unless '110% necessary'), and that was that. I don't know why they pulled them shortly thereafter. I'm booked for just before it opens.

Best,

Why do you have to sit in the orchestra?

Yeah, it sucks not having money to purchase something. I usually deal with the pain by not purchasing it and moving on with my life, because I accept that I am not entitled to have things just because I want them.

I paid full price for both American Idiots and Promises, Promises. I normally get discounted tickets for shows but really wanted to get some good seats for these (and I did).

I should also add that I would like to get tickets for Enron but will hold out for discount tickets. Updated On: 2/20/10 at 09:31 AM

"I don't know about "La Cage" or "Promises, Promises" but I just heard a rumor (overheard, actually) that we'll be seeing a discount offer on "American Idiot" soon."

How dependable is the source of this rumor? I may hold off on getting tix for them...

The person I overheard would have access to those who have first-hand knowledge of AI's discount plans so I would say 95% reliable.
