BroadwayBox offer - Oklahoma - help?
Hi all! I'm having a bit of trouble getting BroadwayBox's Oklahoma discount to work, and have never used BroadwayBox before so I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. Maybe someone here who's used this kind of discount before can help?? (This is kinda long - apologies!)
My sister and I will be in NYC in early December this year (Dec 5-8), and we're trying to see some shows. Oklahoma is on our list, and I saw the other day that there's a BroadwayBox discount for the show, from performances now through January 19, 2020. It doesn't list any blackout dates. It says the tickets, with the discount, are $49.50 - $129.50. So I click the Buy Tickets on BroadwayBox, which takes me to Telecharge, and the Oklahoma BroadwayBox offer is listed at the top of the page as I select my performance date. All good so far!
But once I get in to pick my seats, there aren't any discounted seats! The cheapest one I'm finding is $119.50, and the most expensive at $150. I tried selecting a $119.50 seat, to go a little further through the process and see if the discount got applied once the ticket was in my cart. Nope.
I've never used BroadwayBox before, so I'm not 100% sure about what's going on. Are there no more discount tickets available for any of the dates we're there in December? (I checked several shows during that time, same result at each.) Would December show dates be blacked out, even though it didn't say so on BroadwayBox? Am I doing something wrong? Would Telecharge or the box office be able to help me if I called directly and provided the BroadwayBox code?
Or is there something glaring I'm missing?
We've already got our tickets to Moulin Rouge and Hadestown, which were $$$, so we're hoping to save a little on the rest of the shows we see. (Not to mention we're Canadian, so the exchange rate hurts the prices even more!) I know that rush/lotto tickets are an option, but since we're coming from further away and only there a few days, it's always comforting to have all our shows booked ahead of time so we get to see exactly what we want.
If anyone who uses BroadwayBox can help us out, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

I looked at the dates you mentioned, then started looking at random other dates.... the cheapest tickets that I could find were $99.50 tickets.
So I looked at Telecharge again, and under "Offer details" on the Telecharge page, it says this: Tickets from $89.50-$169.50. So maybe the BroadwayBox offer prices listed are out of date? With a Playbill offer code (OKPBX109, which you can enter via Telechargeoffers.com), the low price listed in $69.50, but I didn't see those tickets come up on your dates.
FYI, I did see a reference to blackout dates in the search box:
Not valid for performances:
11/29/19-11/30/19
12/23/19-1/2/20
Additional blackout dates may apply.
But that shouldn't impact you. I'm guessing the lowest priced tickets are only available for certain performances or limited seats, or something along those lines. Wish I could be of more help!
Okay, at least I'm not crazy or doing something wrong with it!! Thank you so much for looking into it, I really appreciate it.
It would have been super great to get a bit of a discount on the tickets - I was so excited when I saw the code! But alas. I'll have to think more on how we want to approach this. Thank you!
