Often due to the huge popularity of Broadway shows, ticket prices of plays, concerts and other performances remain high at all times. Not all can pay such high prices for tickets. Hence, some discount Broadway tickets exist so that we can see some great performances at reduced prices.
Discount Broadway tickets can be attained through a number of channels: discount codes on tickets; rush or lottery tickets; standing room only; and student, military, and senior discounts are some types of discount tickets which are available for different types of Broadway shows.
Research shows that around 98% of all Broadway tickets are sold by ticket agencies like Tele Charge and Ticket Master. Buying from such agencies or brokers does not allow for any discounts. However, Tele Charge does allow certain ‘special ticket offers’ for students, seniors, and military people. Such discounted tickets usually work in the orchestra, rear mezzanine, and rear balcony, and have to be bought in person, showing the relevant identity card.
New York TV Show Tickets, Broadway Box, Entertainment Links, and My Theatre are some organizations which provide discount Broadway tickets.
TKTS, which has centers at Times Square Theater Center and Lower Manhattan Theater Center, is operated by nonprofit Theatre Development Fund and sells discount tickets also.
Email newsletters are an excellent way to be informed about ticket discounts. Some companies like Playbill Online, Theater Mania, Hitshow Club besides others alert us incase of any discounts, if we register as their members. Besides alerting through email newsletters, the aforementioned companies provide discount Broadway tickets too.
Theater Mania offers same-day discount tickets and so one can reserve seats for the same day performances at 40% to 50% off normal prices. Playbill Online also offers discounts as in case of the former company.
Theater Extra, a company, allows fee-based subscription programs and offers its members discounted and sometimes free Broadway tickets. High 5 is a not-for-profit organization which allows considerable discounts on Broadway tickets for students aged from 13 to 18 years.
The Visitor and Convention Bureau on Columbus Circle offers discount coupons for certain types of production as well. Discounts on Disney on Broadway are offered at Mouse Savers.
Some shows and performances also offer standing-room-only Broadway tickets. Rush tickets within $20 to $25 are available from theater counters.
