Apr. 22nd, 2011 04:06 pmWoo! Got tickets to Wicked!
The show is on tour around the country. I have wanted to see it for a long time, but going to NYC is kinda inconvenient and expensive. Unfortunately I procrastinated really bad, so tickets for their touring show were almost sold out!
And the Kennedy Center's website leaves something to be desired when you are trying to buy tickets. First you click on the date you want to go. Then you choose the section you want. Then you choose the seats you want. And if those seats have not already been taken by someone else, you can buy them.
Repeat that process for every weekend from June-August....
It made me crazy when it claimed there were 2 seats in a section left, only to discover the two seats were on total opposite sides of the room.
What the site really needs is a search engine where I could input, "Wicked, weekends, 2 adjacent seats, less than $100 each" and out would pop a list of dates and seats that matched what I wanted.
It took me hours to find tickets their way. But at least I finally got them. Every performance was nearly completely sold out. I ended up getting Orchestra level, row Z on July 31st at 7:30. Ben offered to buy me some opera glasses.
I'm currently reading the book the show is based on. I will probably finish before the end of July. It'll be good to see how they compare. I have been told the show is very loosely based on the book and isn't as dark.
