Being able to see a Broadway production is a great experience. Many people even say that it is something for the bucket list. However, with the cost of Broadway tickets averaging around a hundred bucks a piece, it is also not surprising why people are putting their plans to watch musicals in Manhattan aside. Fortunately, it is possible to find cheap Broadway tickets online as well as offline.

Where to Obtain Tickets to Broadway at a cheap price.

If you wish to experience what New York's finest theaters have to offer but do not want to spend more than ninety dollars, you can go to TKTS booths as these sell tickets to Broadway shows at a 25-50% discount. There are 3 TKTS booths in New York and these are in Duffy Square, South Street Seaport in Lower Manhattan, and in Downtown Brooklyn. You can get same-day tickets from the Times Square outlet and tickets to curtain and afternoon performances on the night or day prior to the show at the other two outlets. Another option would be to buy Standing Room Only (SRO) and Rush Tickets hours prior to the event at the box office. Don’t forget to bring a student ID with you though if you want to get Rush tickets.

There are also a number of websites that offer discounts on advance sales of Broadway tickets. You need to remember, however, that stories of people being ripped off by web-based ticket sellers are not uncommon. For example, there are people who purchased tickets online which were not legitimate ones. To avoid any inconvenience and losing money, you must be careful when purchasing tickets through the Internet.

In the absence of personal recommendation, you can call the Better Business Bureau to confirm if there are no complaints about the online ticket store you wish to purchase from. Remember to transact only with secure websites as well. You will know if the website is secure when the http changes to https, or there is a padlock icon on the URL or status bar once you are on the order page. A number of these websites also provide alerts to subscribed members once ticket promos are available.

In addition, you may visit the official website of the play you intend to watch as cheap ticket offers are usually shown there. In most instances, low priced tickets are sent via e-mail newsletters so it is a good decision to enroll for this service as well.

Even though it is undeniable that getting cheap broadway tickets requires time and diligence, it is very rewarding nonetheless. And if you’re diligent enough, you can, more often than not, get tickets to productions you are interested in seeing.
