Actually, maybe we're lucky he needs a nicotine fix now and then! ;) Are you really serious about the sold out part? I can't believe it (well, maybe all the Times coverage kicked it, huh)... Will you have time to come in to go to the TKTS booth for last minute tix? Should I try for you? I'd hate for you to come all the way here and not see it, he really is a laugh, though I know you have something else to go to. Let me know...

When I called the theatre, the woman said that there were "no" tickets left for August 16 ... After a pause, she added that there were box seats if I wanted them. From the way she made it sound, box seats are about one step up from sitting in the broom closet. (Box seats give you a partially obstructed view--25% of the stage is blocked.) You can't even buy box seats through their website. Faced with the possibility of not getting into that performance at all, I broke down and went for the box seats. (At least I saved $25.) Not knowing I'd already bought the tix, Melissa found a few choice single seats left for that performance (thanks again for going to the trouble of checking, Melissa!)--which they never even offered me, apparently because I'd asked for two seats. (Sitting separately would be preferable to sitting in the "broom closet," but it's too late now; the tickets are non-exchangeable. It'd be nice if they'd at least mentioned the option!) >Will you have time to come in to >go to the TKTS booth for last minute tix? Should I >try for you? I'd hate for you to come all the way >here and not see it, he really is a laugh, though I >know you have something else to go to. Let me know... Thanks for offering, Jen! That's very generous of you. Are last-minute tix different from "cancellation" tix? Because waiting till the day of the show and buying cancellation tickets (if there are any) was the other possibility they offered me. I was afraid to go for that option because, as you say, I didn't want to take a chance of getting all the way there and not getting in; I do have something else to go to that weekend, but DW is the primary reason I'm going! The rest is just filler. But if I could get last-minute discount tickets for $30, it might be worth it to buy a second set (combined with the box-seat price, that'd only be $5 more per ticket than the cost of an orchestra seat), but "cancellation" tickets don't fall into that category, do they?

Yes, I believe the cancellations are available only at the box office a few hours prior and they are not discounted. Who would the second set be for? If you buy from the theater I think they are non-refundable. You'd have to scalp those! ;)

If you >buy from the theater I think they are non-refundable. >You'd have to scalp those! ;) So it's safe to say that there won't be any of those last-minute $30 tix left for this performance! Moi? *Scalp* tickets? What kind of person do you think I am?! ;-) But seriously, for the extra $5 I really would just waste the first set and replace 'em with the second--who'd buy 'em from me anyway if there were last-minute orchestra seats available for $10 less?

Oops, sorry, I mean "same-day" for the discounted tix. Sloppy terminology. However the box office may let you trade up from a full price box seat; you may have to ask what their policy and schedule for that is. The unused comps are generally released at the theaters a few hours before the show and you have to wait in line at the box office. Here's the thing, would you be free to do that or should I wait in line to sub for you (if they'd even let me)? Should I call?
