It’s official now that the chartbuster musicals, plays, and other live shows have returned and the Great White Way is back in business. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is allowing theaters to reopen for live performances starting from 14th September.
Due to multiple options, buying Broadway show tickets may be daunting. However, a little planning in advance makes it easier to buy Broadway tickets and secure coveted seats to some of the most successful shows
BROADWAY TICKETS
Head to TKTS Discount Booths
Waiting in line on the day of the show is the traditional and classic way to buy deeply discounted tickets at TKTS in Duffy Square. The biggest Broadway hits are on sale on the booths mostly at 50 percent off. Time Square booth also has a “Play Express” window that cuts down wait time provided you do not want to see a musical.
TDF also operates two other booths in the city. The first one is at Lincoln Center’s David Rubenstein Atrium and the other at South Street Seaport. The earlier you buy the tickets at TKTS the better, but sometimes the blocks of good seats are released closer to curtain time. For updated information, you can use the TKTS app or visit its website. The tickets fee at TKTS is substantially lower than the fee on other websites.
Buy tickets online or on your phone
Buying at TKTS requires you to wait in person and often the wait is for a long time. Internet is the best alternative that will help you to buy tickets weeks in advance. TodayTix app will help you to found discounted tickets on your mobile phone well in advance.
Moreover, there are two ticket vendors also who are used by almost all Broadway theatres to sell tickets online or via phone. One is Telecharge at (800) 432-7250 and the other one is Ticketmaster at (866) 870-2717.

“Rush” or “lottery” tickets
Many theaters offer special same-day rush tickets at a very reasonable price for shows that have been sold out. Rush tickets for Broadway shows can be bought for as low as $20 per ticket. They can be bought at the theater’s box office on the day of the performance. Some theaters offer mobile rushes through TodayTix also.
A few productions offer cheap day-of tickets through the in-person lottery method. The names are drawn at the box office a few hours before curtain time. However, now most of the Broadway shows conduct lotteries digitally through TodayTix or on their own. You can consult the handy listings at Broadway for Broke People to find out which theaters offer rush tickets and lotteries.
