<p>EVERYTHING is more expensive and more difficult to get in NYC during the holiday season because it is peak time for tourists. Have you tried <a href="http://www.broadwayworld.com?%5B/url%5D">www.broadwayworld.com?</a> They have a great travel and ticket center and often have tickets that are just not available any other way (that's how we saw "Wicked" two Christmas' ago!). Good luck!</p>
