Wheres the best place to purchase broadway tickets? or should i just call up the theater?

And order directly from them.

If you're in NYC go to the TKTS booths in times square or at southstreet seaport. They're 30%-50% off for what are usually great seats. You go the day of and wait in line a few hours before. 90% of bway shows have tickets at the tkts booths.

Otherwise I'd suggest calling the box office.

I wanted to purchase Broadway tickets in Times Square. Where can I get them, and do I need to pay cash?

I know that there are (or were.) 50% tickets being sold for Broadway shows for that particular day.

My friend, I agreed with last post, however, the TKTS Booth is currently located at temporary location due to renovation on Duffy Square, which is the the Square that is part of the Times Square area.

The temporary location of the TKTS Booth is at the Marriott Marquis Hotel: West 46th Street between Broadway and 8th Avenue.

TKTS only take cash.

I hope this information is very helpful. Good luck and enjoy the show.

Where can you purchase broadway tickets(not on line)? Where can you purchase broadway tickets(not on line)?

Well, if you don't want to go online, you must be IN NYC. The best place to get discount tickets is at the TKTS booths (there's one in Times Square, and one at the South Street Seaport). You can get 1/2 price tickets for performances on the day of performance only. The availability of tickets is pretty haphazard -- basically whatever hasn't sold through the other avenues is available at the TKTS booth. But on a weekday, you can often get some decent tickets.

Does anyone know of any good sites to purchase Broadway Tickets?

Hello All,
I have been looking for a good site to purchase discounted broadway show tickets. I found acouple places, but the deals don't seem to be that great. SkyAuction.com looked like they had a pretty good bargain. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

I've used www.ticketsnow.com a few times and thought highly of the site.

What is the best way to purchase tickets for a Broadway play?

Is it through the web? ticket master? brooker? I am going to NYC for the first time and want to see "A Chorus Line" but am not sure the best way to purchase these tickets. Thanks for the help!

Hey, it's great you're asking this question, so now you won't get jipped!

The A Chorus Line revival is great, you'll love it.

For buying tickets to a broadway show, these are the order in which you should go about aquiring tickets.

1) Student Rush/Lottery - I don't know if how long you'll be there, but if you're willing to take a chance, the best way to get tickets is throught this. You'll get 1st or 2nd row seats for around $35. You get them by getting to box office when it opens and having a student ID (for ACL). If the show is sold out, you can also get standing room seats for $26.50.

2) If you don't do the student rush/lottery, the next best way to acquire tickets is directly throught the box office. This way you can usually pick your seats, and it will be cheaper than other ways because you won't have to pay various fees. You can also usually bargain them down, or automatically get them for a better price.

3) If that doesn't work, then go to TKTS, located at the Marriot Marquis Theatre. They sell day of tickets for discount prices (like anything from 10%-75% off). TKTS is decent, but they aren't always the best seats, and you also have to get in line very early. It is also good to check the website (www.tdf.org) and make sure they ahve ACL tickets. -Usually they do.

4) The final way to get tickets is through Ticketmaster/hotel services/etc. This is a decent way to get tickets, but you won't get the best seats in the house. Also, you will have to pays fees through ticketmaster, and usually through hotel services as well.

Anyway, hope this helps, and have a fabulous time. If you need any other help/have other questions, feel free to contact me!

Going to NYC, going to a few shows, and wondering whether I can purchase broadway show tickets on the door, and if so is it cheaper?
over the christmas and new year period BTW

Yes, you can purchase tickets at the box office (that's what you mean by "on the door" though in the U.S. we say "at the door".)

But it's not cheaper that way. It's far, far more expensive to do it that way than in many other ways. I suggest that you don't get your heart set on the most popular musicals, and instead go to the TKTS booth in Times Square. There you can buy tickets far cheaper than anywhere else. You have to buy them the day of the performance, and you will have to wait on a long line, but it's well worth it.

You can get tickets a litle more than half price. And you might see a show that you've never heard of, but is surprisingly good. Remember, NYC is a theater town. There is a lot more theater than just the few shows you've heard of before coming here!

I want to take my girlfriend to see wicked in NYC on new years day. Where can I get good priced tickets available for pick-up at the window?

I used Ticketloot.com after someone on yahoo answers mentioned the site. I had a great experience, They had the cheapest price for the tickets I wanted. I went to see Jersey Boys
