I saw JB tickets last week on a Wednesday evening as well...at 50% off. That's the lowest price I've seen.

I was in Times Square last weekend, and saw Jersey Boys was on the TKTS board for Saturday night. Not sure if this was because of the holiday weekend or a regular occurence. Hopefully, this is not indicative of overall ticket sales in NYC!

I think the Broadway prices are adjusted a bit at times...whether for groups or certain obstructed view seats, thus keeping the seating percentages healthy. Makes sense to me. Law of supply and demand.

Australia has been offering discounted tickets for quite a few weeks now. They have closed the dress circle except for Sat/Sun shows. When I was there in May I was very worried that the theatre was less than half full during the week. The premium tickets (producers choice) are $250 which is a LOT of money. Still, I guess this is the way things are with the downturn in the economy down this way. Dr Zhivago had only been open for a couple of weeks in Sydney before they closed the dress circle. I just hope that the Sydney JB will be like that bunny with the batteries - keep going and going and going.

How long has the price of the premium tickets been at the $200 range? I was wondering why the weekly grosses haven't been that high as before even the though attendance is in the high 90 percent.

Now I see 50% off on Wed evening, 20% off on Wed matinee, Thursday and Friday shows...

Offering discounted tickets is usually not a good sign, although I don't think Jersey Boys is going anywhere for a long time. I have yet to see Wicked and Lion King on the list though. That said, all three shows have been the top three in gross sales the last few weeks now, with JB at nearly 98% or better. I wonder where those discounted seats are.

It's not necessarily the end or even the beginning of the end. Look at how many long-running shows have been on TKTS for years.

Nancy, do you think this means JB isn't doing as
well??? I hope not, don't want to see this show ever end!!!!

About a month or two ago.

I just checked the TKTS website and saw Jersey Boys now on the list, although only on Wednesdays at 20% discount. When did they start selling at TKTS? I'm concerned.

I have a pair of tickets for the Tuesday, October 19 show in Philadelphia that I need to sell. I can't get off work until the next day, so I can't use the tickets. They are row G orchestra seats. If you are interested in purchasing these tickets, or have any suggestions on the best way to sell the tickets, please email me at jlbNOSPAMfan2009@gmail.com.

I understand Broadway has some student tickets for the SRO price. The ones I heard about were far sides, maybe first several rows. A great price and with a seat!

I don't know whats up with this Audrey, I really missed Sebastian!
I think he is AWESOME and my favorite Bob!!

So Sebastain was supposed to be there a few weeks ago, but in the interim, Jake officially stepped in--however briefly(?)

Wish I would have read this thread before you went... No mobile student lottery until at least January.

It was about three weeks ago (when you were there) that there was a bug or something going around the cast. Jarrod was out doing "The National Anthem Tour" : ) and Sebastian and Matt were out sick. It was a good thing Dominic was there since he is my absolute favorite.

I'm glad that you had a good time!

Thanks Audrey, I may try that. Hopefully, we'll get tickets for decent seats.

ScarletRhapsody, that was quite some good fortune being on the flight with JLY!! Did you say hello?

So you got Sunday matinee tickets ahead of time, rather than SR or cancellation tickets? Am I reading that correctly? How were your seats? Let us know when you post the photos.

Kennedy1--if it is very important to you, there is always the option of buying tickets in the cancellation line that day when you can first check the board in the lobby. Great seats, normal price; just the disadvantage of waiting, at most, a couple hours in line.

There's always a chance an actor will call in sick, but it's not like you can predict that.

Okay, we've seen Jersey Boys twice in NYC and are planning on another trip in to see it again. We know that Jarrod doesn't perform for the Wed. and Sat. matinees,but does anyone know if he will be out for vacation or for any other reason? We don't want to see the show without him...he was fabulous!!! Thanks!!!

Wow, ScarletRhapsody! Wonderful story. Glad it was fun.....and JLY on the same flight/Erich in same terminal....fate! How cool is that?

Okay, I'm back from my New York trip!

Thanks everyone for all the helpful tips. This was a rather interesting story. I tried for mobile lottery, but we didn't get it. Instead, we ended up watching Chicago. We did get our tickets for a Sunday matinee. The significant other surprised me by treating me.

We had a delightful time! I'll post pictures of stage door fun times. We ended up with Taylor Sternberg as Frankie (looks like Jarrod was out of town, it's cool...seen him a few times before) and Jake Speck as Bob. I'll post pictures once I get everything processed.

I also pointed out the Brill Building to my s. o. since it was next door to where we saw Chicago.

And John Lloyd Young and I were on the same flight to JFK. Yes, that JLY. The actor. Who knew? And Erich Bergen and I were in the same terminal on the day I was leaving for Long Beach. Of course, I found this out when I got home. Why is this cast following me? LOL! XD

Your quite welcome KayLee..enjoy the show!!!

Thanks, Sharon. :-)

Something to keep in mind though,someone posted
in answer to a question I had that Jarred doesn't
perform on Wednesday or saturday matinees.

Thanks so much, Howard!

I think there are better sources than I, but I heard from one of the ushers that Jarrod just signed again for a year, with a six-month out-clause, whatever that means. It's just rumor, but it certainly sounds as if you're safe for December, KayLee.

ScarletRhapsody, hope your experience was a great one.

I have a Broadway question, also. I would like to take my daughter, who is away at school, to NY to see JB. It would either have to be during her December break, or the first week in March during spring break. Is it too soon to know how long Jarrod will be there?

I have been going to JB on Broadway for several years now. I recently saw something at the box office I had never seen before. About 2 hours before the show, a large line formed outside the theater. It was not standing room only tickets. Instead in this line, you were able to buy non-premium tickets for that performance. Usually these have already been sold by this time of each performance. They still kept back some premium tickets at this time though in hopes of selling them just before the show. Another think I have also noticed is that the line waiting for unsold tickets turned in just before the performance begins is so much smaller than it used to be - perhaps only 6 people as compared to 25 people. You can always now be guaranteed of getting a premium ticket for normal price in this line. JB is still sold out on Broadway, but it is much easier to get a ticket than it was two years ago.

People do get in line early for the standing room only tickets and there aren't a lot of them maybe 10? Just ask at the box office when to line up. I usually get in the cancellation line at least 2 hours before the performance. Never had a problem getting premium seats for regular orchestra price. So it all depends on how well you want to see the performance, either front or rear based on the price. The stage door gets crowded but the cast does chat with everyone while signing autographs and there's plenty of photo ops as you can tell from what has been posted in JB World. I do not believe there is any merchandise exclusive to the Broadway cast. Have a great time and let us know about how it went when you return.
