Wonderful to hear the whole process — from browsing seats to downloading your e-tickets — was quick and hassle-free. We work hard to make ticketing as simple as possible, so this is great to read. Thank you!

The tickets were easy to get

The tickets were easy to get, however, when I was sent the barcodes for the tickets, it stated seat 1 and seat 3. The 2 seats I chose were together. Is this how the seating is numbered or are my daughter and I sitting apart from each other? Can customer service help me?

So pleased everything went smoothly! Finding the right seats and getting your tickets sorted quickly is what we're all about. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.
We can confirm the seats you purchased are next to each other - This particular venue uses odd numbers for the left side of the venue.
If you need any further clarification, please feel free to reach out to our Customer Experience team who will be happy to help!

I accidentally ordered for the 2 PM…

I accidentally ordered for the 2 PM instead of the 7 PM show. I immediately went to correct the error and was given a voucher code which was not accepted. I then ordered that 7 PM again and again the voucher code was not accepted on the third try I ordered without the voucher code and was allowed to purchase the tickets. I was told at the ticket counter that I still have tickets for the 2 PM and 7 PM shows and my credit card has been charged for both. The person at the theater told me that you are a third party vendor and there was nothing they could do to help me. They said they sent you my contact information but I don’t expect to hear from you before Tuesday after the holidays. I expect to be reimbursed for the 2 PM Sunday afternoon show. If not, I will dispute the charge.

Great resolution to see the show by customer service

I got very ill and we made it to the hotel in the city, but couldn't make it to see the show. Since we do live in NYC, I asked if there was anything that the that the theater can do and they kindly gave us a voucher so that we can experience the show on a different night. Thank you so much for wonderful customer service!

Prinna was fabulous with quick efficient service sorting an error on my part. I was feeling quite stressed about my ticket seeming to disappear into cyberspace, but Prinna sorted the issue immediately - smile back on my face 😀
