How did you all fare last night scoring last minute tickets? I heard a couple people got ripped off, but what about the rest of you? Were you able to get a ticket or did you have to leave empty handed?

I work in Manhattan and really just want to jet uptown after work and see the show - will it be worth my time? I'll have to cancel some dinner plans...

    Pretty sure you can have dinner any night you want. GO!

    (your best bet is to get in the venue box office line, and to get there early, as that was the only place I saw anyone have luck last night)

    I had my ticket lined up.
    I was waiting for Joe at the 10C ticket pickup area and while waiting, there were 2 young ladies asking everyone " Got an extra, got an extra? " to nearly everyone that passed.

    I said to myself " good luck with that " .

    Dont you know not 5 minutes go by ,
    2 dudes walk up to them, and sell them each 1 ticket for face.
    They said you'll be sitting with us, see you inside,...
    Saw this entire thing go down
    and i said to myself, you see, dont be so quick,..
    you truly never know.
    For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside
    That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive

    Very true, you truly never know! Blah, I should have secured my ticket back in March like you did! I gave up too soon...
