Will a ticket broker hold my tickets if I'm uncertain of my plans?

Buy, Sell or Hold

You're indecisive. You couldn't face choosing between black and green for the living room, so you ended up with the "Wicked" look. Now you're trying to decide on buying tickets for "Wicked." Do you purchase tickets for Saturday night and have your Chicago ticket broker or New York ticket broker hold them? This news may make you say, "I'm melting, melting...wait, no I'm not, yes I am."

Your Ticketmaster broker or other ticket broker normally won't hold tickets while you dither indefinitely. The ticket broker has to answer to the seller, who has to make quick business decisions. The seller may or may not grant a hold request when selling "Wicked" tickets. While the seller may give you points for your living room decor, your seats will typically be on hold for just an hour or two.

Before you buy, help out your ticket broker, who is not at all ambivalent about moving on to the next client. Make a list of your blackout dates and choose the best date from the remaining calendar days. Stick with your decision. Decide when you want to go to the theatre and what time. Now you can't choose between Chinese and Mexican. Fortunately, there's that funky Aztec-Cantonese place near the theater. And you discovered you hate both green and black. Rainbow wallpaper for you!
