| This is not a new thing and not specific to this show. Every show does this and has been doing it for years and years. People always think that the earlier you buy tickets, the better. And that is almost never true. It’s perhaps ‘safer,’ but to my mind never better. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve gotten a ticket to a ‘sold out’ show by buying a day before, or even a few hours before. No show is truly sold out until the curtain goes up and you aren’t in the audience. The best advice I can give you for the future is to do a little research in the days leading up to the show. Two weeks out - what’s available for the performance you want, and what’s available for that night (that you’re looking) and the next night? Keep checking in the days leading up, to get a sense of what the trend with that show is. Seats often get released somewhere between 24-72 hours in advance. I bet you bought your four seats the day before everything was released. I know it’s ’work,’ which is why many people just buy whatever in advance. I would prefer to get the best seat I can for the beat price I can. And again, I’ve been doing this for years. It isn’t new at all. It is true that in the days of discounts it sometimes made sense to buy in advance because the discount code was only for certain seats, and those were not the ones held back as house seats. So buying earlier made sense if you wanted the best of that pool of discount seats. But if you’re just talking regular tickets via Telecharge, I always say wait til a few days before. |
