Top Ten Ways To Get Discounts To Broadway Show Tickets
- Use a Discount Code
We list all the Broadway discount codes and you can use them to get cheap tickets - see all the discount offers above
- Visit the TKTS Booth
The ticket booth in Times Square sells a lot of the less-popular Broadway shows at a discount price - but you will have to line up at the booth to get these affordable tickets - Play The Free Ticket Lotteries
Many Broadway shows now have a ticket lottery that allows you to buy tickets at a discounted rate - you do not get to decide where you are sitting - RUSH Tickets
Broadway shows offer rush tickets for people who can get to the theatre early and are happy to roll the dice on where they sit - the ticket prices are very cheap, but the often seats aren't
- Standing Room Only
If you don't mind standing for the show - the ticket prices for standing room only (SRO) can be very affordable - sometimes you can get a seat too - but no guarantees - Join the TDF Program
If you are an educator (or work for the city) you can join TDF which gives you big discounts to some great Broadway shows - but the show is usually no longer in the top ten - Negotiate With A Ticket Tout
Close to the show curtain time - ticket sellers are right outside the theatre and they are often dumping their unsold tickets at pennies on the dollar and that makes them pretty cheap. The hype about them being fake tickets is a bit of a scare tactic - its possible that could happen - but hasn't happened in years - just take a photo with the ticket seller to cover yourself - Student Discounts
Students aren't getting the affordable ticket deals on Broadway tickets that they used to get, but they can still join programs that are negotiated through each school like NYU's Broadway Insider Program and Student Rush Programs - Papering Services
Some floundering Broadway shows just need to fill their theatre with people and often give away free tickets through secret organizations like PlayByPlay and TheaterMania Gold Club. The discount is 100%, but the catch is that you have to turn up otherwise you get kicked out of the program. - Age Based Discounts
Although age-based Broadway discounts may be illegal, some theatre organizations like Lincoln Center Theatre, Roundabout Theatre Company, Manhattan Theatre Club and Second Stage Theatre offer age based Broadway discounts that are usually for those under the age of 30
