9 Ways to Buying a Broadway Ticket for Less

Los Angeles has Hollywood and New York has Broadway. A visit to neither town would be complete without a visit to its most glamorous and fun parts. Unfortunately, while taking in the best of Hollywood costs little, a hit Broadway show can cost as much as $150.? Luckily, you don’t always need to pay full retail for the show of your choice. Once you’ve tried TKTS, Seatgeek, and other low-hanging fruit, you can try these hacks.

Promo codes are easy to find

When you use promo codes on Ticketmaster or Telecharge, you can easily get half off your ticket. Surprisingly, you don’t need to scour coupon code websites for them — they are readily available on major outlets that sell discounted seats to Broadway plays such as BroadwayBox, PlayBill, and New York Show Tickets. Usually, you don’t need to make a purchase to access these codes — you only need to sign up for free. New York Show Tickets does require a $4 fee, though.? Once you’re in, they let you access their lists of promo codes for various shows — even new, hit productions. To save even more, you can use these codes directly at the box office. This way, you won’t need to pay the service fee that outlets like Ticketmaster charge.

Join the Theater Development Fund

The Theater Development Fund is the nonprofit that runs TKTS booths around New York. When you sign up for a $30 membership, you usually get half off advance tickets. You’ll make back the membership fee with the discount on your first ticket.

You’ll need to go through an hour’s training before the show and then get into character showing patrons to their seats. Once your ushering duties are done, you’re free to see the show at no charge.

You might not actually need to go to Broadway If you love Broadway, you may not have to actually visit New York and pay for an expensive ticket. Many Broadway shows tour the country. While you’ll see the same show by the same actors, you’ll only pay around a third of the price that you would
