While we know that Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is coming to New York, it is slowly taking over parts of the world. But will we ever see it?
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is planning on taking over New York and Melbourne after a successful run in London. But is it enough? Personally, I say no. We grew up loving this series and everything about it and we can’t seem to win. Everything we do, we can’t get tickets.
Yes, I’m still talking about how impossible it is to get Cursed Child tickets in New York City. The initial fan verification idea was idiotic. Not because we should just widely release them but rather because StubHub still managed to get tickets before many of us fans did.
So unless we want to spend a small fortune to see the show, we’ll be waiting and waiting and waiting. I’m still a little uneasy about the set up of tickets. Because Harry Potter has always been about inclusion. So for this to suddenly separate us as ‘those who didn’t get tickets and those who did’ is strange.
Again, maybe it’s because I was among one of the one’s who did not, in fact, get tickets but still, I wish it was different. We’re all so separated because the fan verification only picked a few and I just hate that someone StubHub got to the tickets before we did. So now the cheapest ticket is already running close to $1,000 if not more.
Maybe this should be a Falsettos situation in the end. Where it is filmed for PBS and shared world wide so those of us who can’t spend that much money can still enjoy the series we know and love so much.

Or maybe we’ll have just have to keep crying about not being able to get tickets to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child but whatever happens, they need to fix this ticketing situation and fast.
