NY Broadway: which scalper?
I'd like to buy jersey boy tickets, and have come to accept I can only buy them through scalpers. is there one paticular website that anyone can vouch for?
thanks!
thanks!

Do you live in the NYC area or are you staying in a hotel in New York? If you are staying at a hotel you might want to check with the concierge. When I was in NYC in August, the concierge originally said they could tickets for us for $250 each. I decided that I didn't want to spend that much. The next day they called and had ticket for $150. As you can imagine I grabbed those up quickly. Don't know if you can call the concierge ahead of time or if you have to wait until you are checked in. I would assume that hotels have access to these type of tickets on a regular basis but you'd probably be taking a chance that you wouldn't get a seat.

thanks all. problem is the premium seats are close to $800 for 2. I would be happy to pay $250ea for good seats, but $400 each is tough to swallow. scalpers have some that are in $200 range, but again, not sure about which ones are "trustworthy".
i will look into concierge option, thanks.

You've explained the reason Jersey Boys remains one of the few Broadway shows I haven't seen. Even renting for a full month early this summer just one block away and making several early morning trips to stand in line, the best I could do seemed to be split horrible seats for a couple hundred each. Buying regular advance tickets was laughable. Twice they did have day of performance premium seats at $250 but only one each day they had them.
I was unaware that Telecharge has upped their regular premium seats to $400 each! I thought that was a new thing with Young Frankenstein!

Actually now I'm confused. According to Telecharge premium seats are $301.50 for all performances except Fri. and Sat. when they are $351.50.
I just checked at random for mid October and immediately found 6th row center -- 2 seats on Wed. Oct. 17 for a total of $618.50.
I doubt you could do better, but don't know when you are looking for.
