Wicked Tickets
 
I purchased Wicked tickets on Craigslist for $125.00 each. The seats are ORCH EE seats 14 and 16. I have 2 questions:

1-Did I pay too much for these seats?
2-Is the view as bad as it looks online?

Thanks!!

Don't know if you paid too much; did you check to see what they would cost if purchased from theater box office? Hope the tickets are legit; I would be afraid of getting counterfeit tickets on Craigslist.

That seems like a low price for ORCH seats. Was it negotiated or is that all they asked.

Can't comment on sight lines but you should check the real ticket seller to see the full price of the tickets. If this is less I would be suspicious - unless the seller had a good story.

yes and yes.

Those are only the fourth row, about the last seats on the far side and have only partial viewing. You can buy them from ticketmaster for only about $70 each, at least during the week. On Saturday night they are about $106 in the first 8 rows on the sides.

I don't know why you would buy tickets on Craigslist that cost more than Ticketmaster. Didn't they tell you the seats?

The only way I can imagine paying that for those tickets is if you had only one night available and it was completely sold out. Yes, those are lousy seats, but hopefully you can still enjoy the show.
