| I come in 3-5 times a year. Usually, I want to know where I'm sitting and I buy ahead (and I have some company memberships). But this last trip, I saw two Broadway shows and one Off-B on TDF. Broadway was $59 + fees and Off-Broadway (at the Park Ave Armory) was $51. About half the price of the TKTS seat I bought. Seats were very good: mezz side, just off the aisle two or four rows up, and the Armory was a good close-to-middle seat in the center about halfway up. I saw two other Broadway shows on TDF in November and the seats were good. I have had Broadway TDF tickets in the past that were very high up in the mezzanine (not great - for me - for plays in particular). Usually, if it's Broadway, I'll try if: a) it's very early previews, and/or b) I either don't think I'll love it or I already have another ticket for later. Also, I'm usually buying a single and that usually works out better (for instance, this time I sat between two couples or between an aisle single and a couple). Maybe others have better results, but I probably wouldn't try if I wanted to sit with someone else. I don't remember what the current subscription price is, but at least this year, I've gotten my money out of it. And I'm fine with contributing to the organization. |

| I think that the hundred bucks or so for Lincoln Center or the 42 bucks to TDF or the membership at Atlantic Theater Co or Second Stage and so on is actually a small support for their commitment to theater and the cultural life of New York. I buy subscriptions to dance and music groups even though I know I can't make it to all their offerings (even Encores?) because I know they need the money and it's a nice thing to do. | |
