How early should I stand in line to purchase student rush tickets for a Broadway show in New York?

I am interested in seeing Spring Awakening or In the Heights in early January.

If you're going to TKTS, I suggest getting there before it opens. The line is pretty long, but moves quickly; however, the earlier you get there, the more options you have to choose from.

Also, I highly reccomend Spring Awakening. :) It's a great show and it closes January 18th, so see it while you still can. :)

Can I use a Visa gift card online to purchase Amtrak train..

New postby Genny » 23 Oct 2012, 21:16

Can I use a Visa gift card online to purchase Amtrak train tickets and tickets to two Broadway shows?

I'm 16 and I am going to take a trip to New York in March and see two Broadway shows. Would I be able to buy a Visa gift card at Wal-Mart with cash and then use the gift card to purchase all of my tickets on-line? Has anyone ever done anything like this? Thank you!

Meaning they actually have the paper ticket in their hand, not will call.

Virtually all theaters now sell tickets via the Internet.

A good general website to check to know more about what's playing is:
http://www.playbill.com

They generally have a link to where you can order tickets from. In the case of Young Frankenstein they link to Ticketmaster.

The TKTS booth that was mentioned by Mark is good if you're not fussy about what you see and are willing to go with whatever they have tickets for on a given day. If you have your heart set on a specific play, it's better to order the tickets in advance.
