Exchanging ticket trick

OK, maybe this is an obvious trick to Broadway tickets, but I never actually had need to find out myself.

We had tickets to all three Stoppard plays, bought last summer after I freaked out over how great "Rock N Roll" was in London. Anyhow, it turns out that the husband will be out of town Feb. 22, our date for the third show. A call to Telecharge got me nowhere: No exchanges, sorry. Their advice was for me to go alone and try to sell the other $100 extra ticket out front before the show.

Should I go to the box office, I asked.

"Don't bother."

So I went to the box office and asked if I could change dates.

"Sure, when would you like to go?"

Two minutes later I had new tickets, no extra charge. And in a slightly better location than before. Nice.
