How To Get Discount Tickets to Broadway’s Newest Shows

April 14, 2017 Leave a comment

There are 14 shows opening on Broadway in April, 2017, which are available for as little as $30, even though full price can be 500 percent more than. How?  Below, listed alphabetically, are the shows that are opening and the official ways to get cheap tickets — among them digital lottery, general rush (meaning showing up when the box office opens on the day of the performance), student rush (showing up and being a student), and standing room.

I link the titles to my reviews for shows that have already opened as of this writing.

For descriptions of all of these shows and those opening Off-Broadway this month, check out my guide to April, 2017 New York Theater Openings

#StellaBlizzard – Cancellations and #SnowDay Discounts

Times Square, Tuesday, March 14, 2017 at 12:30 p.m.
Times Square, Tuesday, March 14, 2017 at 12:30 p.m.

As of 2:30 pm, all Broadway shows are going on tonight as scheduled, but several Off-Broadway theaters are canceling their performances because of the blizzard theatrically named Stella. For answers to basic questions, such as what if I can’t make it? —  click on Broadway and Blizzards: Questions and Answers.

Below is information, many via Tweets from @NewYorkTheater, about cancellations and discounts.

Stella turns out to be a less….dramatic…storm than expected (at least in midtown Manhattan), and so the line is huge for the TKTS discount booth in Times Square:

and there are 22 Broadway shows on offer at a discount.

 

Public Theater and Joe’s Pub cancellations:

Playwrights Realm
has canceled #TheMoors today at Duke on 42nd Street.
To rebook tickets, call 646-223-3010

 

All TKTS discount booths will be open, including the one at Lincoln Center, which is indoors. Check out the shows that will be available for discount once TKTS opens for the day at TKTS online. 

Chicago: Save up to $50 on Chicago tonight using code CHFLY218.

Present Laugher: Use code PRLSNOW at the Box Office/online today for $45 seats!

Significant Other: Use code SOTCX110 for 40%OFF #SignificantBway, online or at the box office!

#SnowDay Discounts?

January 24, 2016 Leave a comment

Father Duffy Square after Winter Storm Jonas, January 24, 2016, 10:30 a.m.

Father Duffy Square after Winter Storm Jonas, January 24, 2016, 10:30 a.m.

The blizzard that attacked New York City on Saturday, deposited 26.8 inches of snow in Central Park, making it the city’s second-largest blizzard since 1869. But that’s all history now, as both bus and subway service has been restored and, as the Broadway League announced this morning, all Broadway shows will go on Sunday, January 24, 2016 as planned.

As incentive to theatergoers to brave the elements, will shows be offering special Snow Day discounts? They might not be offering anything specifically connected to the snow. But many shows are available at the TKTS ticket booths at half price. Here’s what was available this morning for the Sunday matinee:

BwayTKTS

And some shows are also touting the regular Broadway Week two-for-one ticket deal, which has been extended through February 7.

 

Look at individual shows’ Twitter feeds to see if they are offering specific #SnowDay discounts for even cheaper tickets. If I see any, I’ll add them here.

There’s at least one opportunity for cheaper tickets that the storm has temporarily taken away:

#SnowDay Discounts

January 27, 2015 Leave a comment

Here are snow day discounts and deals to Broadway and other New York theater now that the Blizzard of 2015 has turned out NOT to be the crippling historic storm it threatened to be in New York City.

$79 tix to “Honeymoon in Vegas” if you ask for the “Storm Special” at the box office.

“Wiesenthal will play its Tuesday evening performance tonight, January 27, as scheduled at the Acorn Theatre at Theatre Row, (410 W. 42nd Street).For tonight’s performance, a special $20 is available for patrons who purchase at the box office.”
