eve Posted December 19, 2007 Posted December 19, 2007 seems to me this is the right place to post it but if i'm wrong, sorry and please move, i did a search for "Wicked" came up with nothing as stated in the chicago tribune....For the first time, the Chicago production of "Wicked" is offering discounted, advance-purchase tickets to the general public (for 50% off). The new promotion applies to a limited number of tickets to weeknight shows during the slower winter months (Jan. 8 to March 2). You have to buy them by Jan. 6. Mention or type in the coupon code "Winter" at any Broadway in Chicago point of sale. http://www.ticketmaster.com/artist/964216 i just bought 1 ORCH seat (yes i'm going solo) for the price of a BALCONY seat, out the door with all those damn fees...............$ 57.68Happy Birthday to me by the way........... i wonder what most people wear to this?
calimomi Posted December 19, 2007 Posted December 19, 2007 I went and saw this in October. It was amazing! There was quite a mix of attire. There were younger people in jeans and sweathers and others in their fancy dresses and fur coats. I wore nice black pants and a dressy shirt. No one seemed out of place. Have fun!
lennon2004 Posted December 19, 2007 Posted December 19, 2007 Oh, I am SO jealous! I'm hopefully going to see Wicked in East Lansing next summer. I've wanted to for a while. 50% would be awesome. People are usually dressed up for these kinds of things. :)
JYeagersgrl Posted December 19, 2007 Posted December 19, 2007 I saw Wicked in NYC this summer it was amazing! I agree with the mix of attire. There were people coming in with evening gowns and tuxedos (we were at a matinee performance) and people like me who were dressed casual.
dkctoo Posted December 19, 2007 Posted December 19, 2007 We saw Wicked In NYC last December and paid QUITE a bit more for the privilege. Our seats weren't nearly so good as yours but we loved it anyway. Enjoy!
karina_anne Posted December 19, 2007 Posted December 19, 2007 If you're even more short of cash and can live with the possibility of not seeing the show I would try to get tickets through the lottery. I got won lottery tickets when the show was on tour in Pittsburgh and then again in New York. It doesn't list the Lottery on the wesite for either Chicago or LA but this link gives you the information for New York. http://www.wickedthemusical.com/#WickedCitiesNewYorkFAQ Also if the show is touring in your town I would call the box office and see if they are offering the lottery. I loved it on tour and in New York. It's a wonderful performance.
freesia39 Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 i want to see wicked SO bad... it's still in LA but i haven't had a chance to go... sniff. i always dress business casual to theater shows, unless we plan ahead to be fancy for fun. opening night is usually when you see the full on formal dress.
gopher02 Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 e do you enter the code online, I could not find a place?
deanabrown Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 I am pretty sure I got an email that they were offering 50% off in NY too. Deleted the email so maybe another member could confirm this.
brynnfromtheblock Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 Man, I just paid $166 for 3 balcony seats!! ... but it was all I could afford... it's coming to Ft Lauderdale in March and I got them as a surprise for DD#1's bday ... she is in the school play which is the Wizard of Oz and she got the part of the Wicked Witch so she's dying to see it... there is also a Girlscout meet and greet type workshop with the cast before hand... I have to ask though, after reading the summary I was a bit worried about the plot being a bit deep for her ... she is 7 going on 30 though and reads alot so I think she can handle it..plus she loves the soundtrack....What do you guys think?
eve Posted December 20, 2007 Author Posted December 20, 2007 e do you enter the code online, I could not find a place?pick the day you want....then it'll ask what seats and how many?something like 3rd down will be Promotions and Special Offers.pick your tickets and enter winter next page should show the tickets at 1/2 price

debnmark Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 Am I blind? I'm not finding where to put in the promo code?
plmarquis Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 I cannot find the code either, and really, really want to get these for over spring break.

We took my sister who was about to turn 9. There isn't anything sexual or anything obviously the only thing would be that the flying monkeys may scare some younger children they are quite odd looking. I'm sure she will love it.
