I don't understand this privileged and narrow perspective or presumption that people can and should have gone already, or if they could only go to the final few weeks, should have bought when the tickets went on sale like 9-11 months ago (i don't remember when the tickets for the transfer went on sale). Or even 4 months ago.

Not everyone has the luxury of living in NYC or the tri-state area, not everyone can know that far in advance exactly when they will be in nyc and exactly which day of their visit during the run of the show they will be able to see it. Unless the show is sold out *at normal* prices, there's no reason any random normal person shouldn't be able to buy a ticket for under *$300* within a few weeks of the performance, if not the week or day of.

To defend this astronomical and insane price gouging because ... i guess... if you dont' want to pay that price hike you shouldn't "have waited" to buy? Or should have seen it earlier in the run? That is not possible for a lot of people. If the only time I can get to nyc during this show's run is the last 3 weeks, and i don't know that until a few weeks before, or even the week of... that doesn't mean I deserve to have to spend $700, $1200, $1400, even $500 for tickets. And these aren't all prime orchestra or front mezz seats. Some of these are balcony.

I am baffled by the justification of this.
