I have frequently bought tickets from tdf.org. Yes, you do not know where your seats are until you get there. Most of the time I have gotten excellent seats at these steaply discounted prices. On Satuday, we saw Chita Rivera's show (day before it closed) for $31 each. They were row 0. Just off of center section. They were perfect. The truth is when one is paying $31 one minds less that the seats might not be perfect.

My daughter went to Light in the Piazza a couple of weeks ago and had front-row center balcony for this same $31 oe $32.

Obviously, if the theater outing is a special event, you care more about getting better seats. But my daughter and I have used these tickets many many times over the last 5 years to see so many shows we would not have otherwise seen.

In most cases the seats claim to be $100 orchestra; in some cases I woud have resented paying $100 for that seat but did not mind paying $31.
