I check once or twice a day to see if I can pull up a single seat usually, but forgot the last few days. Ticketmaster now has seats in 217 for both nights up now if you are in a wheelchair or need to trandfer from a wheelchair. Just thought I'd let people know... if someone posted this already, sorry!

Not sure if you would actually need to bring your chair in to use these tickets. :0)

    They often end up selling these tix to non-wheelchair on the day-of-show if still available. I've sat in "wheelchair seats" before. they are often pretty good too.

    It's cruel, but I know people who have bought these "wheelchair" tickets for hockey at MSG (ahead of time) and then just show up night of and say their friend couldn't make it and gave them the tickets. Or bought the seats because you were scheduled for knee surgery that was postponed. Nothing MSG could do about that...and to be honest, I don't think the ushers really care!

    MSG has a great accessible seating liaison service. They oversee the wheelchair sections very carefully.

    acoustic guy just bought all of them up for him and his buddies :)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Yeah...see the hotel room thread of yesterday. Its one thing to buy a seat when its released by the box office. Its another to buy a handicap seat on false pretenses.

    would be low to get these seats and then bring a wheelchair even though you are able bodied?

    But you'd have to sit the whole show. Then you'd ask yourself if it was really worth it.
