Wicked for a Sat. in Feb. Buy now or wait for discount?

I just checked Ticketmaster for Wicked ticktets for Sat., Feb. 9th, at 2:00. They are full price but I noticed that only about 1/4 of the tickets are sold. In summer 2011, we bought them months in advance but I am wondering, is there any chance they may be discounted since not many are sold?

Probably not. It is still a show that sells out. If you have your choice of tickets now, I would buy. If you have already seen wicked I would consider seeing something else.

Very unlikely. The show is still at 99.9% capacity after years of Broadway, 9 years of the national tour (this week) with 2 companies traveling, and long-term shows in several cities. There's a CHANCE that the show will begin discounting between now and spring...but I'd guess not. If you know you want to see the show, buy the tickets now while you have good choices available. If you really like the show, consider the "Behind the Emerald Curtain" tour. I liked it a lot. http://www.playbill.com/features/art...sses-Oct-15-21 http://www.emeraldcurtain.com/

Dont wait for discounted tickets. The only thing that could happen with tine is premium seats that don't sell might be reduced to "regular" price.

The chances are slim to non-existant that there will be discount tickets for Wicked in February. Definitely buy them now while you have a good choice of locations.

PS: The fact that you want tickets for a Saturday performance makes the chance of a discount just about non-existant!

Thanks everyone. I was confused when I noticed how many tickets were left. I will go ahead and purchase them.
