Reliable theater ticket broker recommendations--broadwaybox?

I'm thinking of using the sold out broker section on broadwaybox.com for some last minute Broadway tickets. Can anyone tell me if they've used them and were satisfied? Any other recos? I looked at applause-tickets and they have no good availability for the show I want.

I used BroadwayBox for tickets to Chicago last October and got great seats at 50% off!

mclaurie, since you live in New York, if I were you I'd go directly to the box office, rather than work through a second or third party like broadwaybox.

PS: If you decide to use broadwaybox, I don't foresee any problems since you know exactly which tickets you are buying. And, further, since we know that broadwaybox is a reliable outlet, I wouldn't be concerned at all.

There are no decent regular priced tickets for the performance I want. The only possibility I see is if they release premium tix as regular priced. My concern about bbox is they're dealing with several different brokers and are really a middleman. I would be happier dealing directly with the broker but don't know any others.

mclaurie, I've never dealt with brokers. Still, I don't understand your concern with bb since you can see exactly which seats you are buying.

If you're willing to pay those prices for sold out shows, I sure wouldn't have any concern with Broadway Box. I do know people who have paid top dollar there and been perfectly happy.
