lion king on broadway info needed - tickets

[loriandmatt]

ok - i have seen a few shows on broadway, but i am in no way proficient in the ways of getting tickets.

i know lion king is a hot show and i am more than likely not going to get a discount on tickets for a group of 3. (if we all want to see the show at the same time and sit together.)

my questions are:

is it possible to just get 3 tickets? every website i visit for tickets only seem to offer them in sets of 2. i don't want to have to shell out an extra 100 to 150 for a seat that i don't need. if i can just get 3 tickets - where? (a number or website where that is possible.)

i have done some research and know that i want to try to be someplace other than front row center orchestra. too close to the stage. I also know that an isle would be primo. is there any way to go about having options in the tickets you purchase or do you just get what you get?

i know i may have to wait awhile, so i am cool with going anytime (even a weeknight/afternoon) in Jan, Feb, April or May. searching for such open ended seats seems like a full time job. any suggestions?

It is very possible, I just tried it on Tickmaster.com and it worked fine when I put in 3. You can try that, or if you want to be specific about picking your seats (ticketmaster just gives you "best available, not very specific) you can call 212-307-4747.

Good Luck!

I don't know about discounts. When a show is selling well, they don't usually offer.

I'm curious what sites you tried. For fun, I went to www.ticketmaster.com and I would have been able to buy 3 tickets.

Did you check TKTS?

Lion King tickets are still very popular and discounts are almost impossible to find. Your best bet is ticketmaster ( as much of a pain as that can be ) and bite the bullet on the convenience charges. They are generally not available on any of the discount sites or TKTS. Buying at the Box Office in NYC will save convenience charges, but if you are not local, that is probably not an option. They rarely have same day tickets, but they do have a cancellation line. You have to be prepared to stand on line for most of the day to get these tickets however.

Good luck,
