Honestly, the center Orchestra is premium for many hit shows. As you get closer to a performance, however, the prices come down. Also, just because it shows as "sold" now doesn't mean they are actually sold. I've seen entire sections open and close and re-open, who knows why, as the days progress. When I went to CHICAGO the last time (a few years back) the online ticketing website showed most of the orchestra was sold out. When I got to the show, half the orchestra was empty. Who knows why the box office was showing the spaces sold (unless they wanted to push people to buy the more expensive seats). The main take home from this is never trust the seating chart as set in stone. It changes moment to moment and day to day--as do the prices for the exact same open seats. Most tourists will only look at it once and buy right then. Those of us in NYC have the luxury to watch it over many days to see if the seats we want open up--it's likely they will.
