Discount Broadway Ticket Types:
There are 14 different types of tickets available for Broadway shows in NYC. The most common types are Regular Priced Broadway Tickets (At Face Value) and Discount Code Tickets (Cheapest Ticket Option). We also provide Lottery Tickets, Standing Room Only and Rush Tickets through our discount Broadway tickets guide.
We are able to deliver the lowest price on discount Broadway tickets, that make up 25% of ALL Broadway Ticket Sales
Regular Price Tickets
Regular Price Tickets (or face value tickets) are exactly what the name implies. They are regular, full priced, Broadway show tickets with no discount offer available. They are tickets from the official ticket source and are sold at a price set by Broadway show producers.
Discount Code Tickets
Discount Code Tickets are exclusive promotional offers that we provide that make Broadway tickets lower in price. On our Discount Broadway Tickets page, both Orchestra seats (ORCH) and Mezzanine seats (MEZZ) discount offers are listed. These are often the cheapest priced ticket options you can get for buying tickets in advance.
Our Broadway Show discount codes offer discounts on Broadway tickets that range from 25% off to 70%. This is a discount off the standard face-value of Broadway show tickets. Our members use our discount codes to purchase these Broadway show tickets in advance at a significant discount. The Broadway discount codes can be accessed with a purchase of the Broadway Ticket Guide.
Lottery Tickets
Another ticket option for discount Broadway tickets are the Broadway Lottery Tickets. These are, as the name implies, a free lottery to win the right to buy low-priced Broadway tickets. Typically, people enter themselves into the lottery for free and are randomly selected to be able to buy these Broadway show tickets at a big discount.
The list of of shows can be seen at Lottery Tickets Schedule. This is typically the very cheapest way to see a live Broadway show, but people are not guaranteed to win the lottery. The amount of tickets sold this way is only 5% of all Broadway tickets. Typically, buyers may have to enter the lottery a few times to win.
Standing Room Only
Standing Room Only tickets are another cheap way to see a Broadway show. These tickets are a low-cost option for audience members who are willing to stand for the entirety of a performance. SRO tickets are usually only on the same day of the performance and then only when all other ticket types are sold-out.
Rush Tickets
RUSH Tickets are the good way to get a seat if you wanted to see a live Broadway show tonight and you can line up at the last-minute. Rush Tickets Schedule are only offered for Broadway shows on the same day of the performance and when the show is sold-out. This is another good way to get discount Broadway tickets.
Secondary Market Tickets
Secondary Market Tickets are tickets that are sold by ticket brokers who make a big profit on the re-sale of Broadway tickets. Ticket brokers are useful as a source in a few different cases; for popular Broadway shows, when ticket inventory is limited or for particularly busy times.
Sometimes, this ticket type may be the only option available. Secondary Market Tickets are typically for popular shows, so they are never sold for a discount. Ticket brokers are only looking to maximize their financial gain. Ticket brokers do not typically invest in less-popular shows. Typically they focus on the top 5 Broadway shows.
Broadway Tickets Pricing
Some of the most popular shows do not offer any discount Broadway tickets at all. This is simply because the show may be too popular already and there is no need to offer discounts to encourage people to go and see the show.
Conversely, some Broadway show producers actually offer all types of discount Broadway tickets. Producers often cherry-pick their discount types to figure out precisely which discounts are appropriate for their show and the demographic.
When deciding on ticket pricing, producers take into account many factors. These can include show revenue, PR/marketing feedback, reviews, production costs, word of mouth, and competing show ticket prices.
Discount Broadway Tickets Tonight?
For cheap tickets tonight, your discount Broadway tickets options can become limited. Many discount codes will still work but as ticket inventory goes down, some other choices are still available.
These include the RUSH Tickets program, TKTS Ticket Booths, where you stand in line and see what unsold inventory what comes up and the ticket lottery.
Most of Broadway’s top shows often sell out their tickets days (or even weeks) in advance before the performance, especially during popular times. Sometimes last-minute ticket buyers can’t use discount codes, RUSH Tickets or Last-Minute Tickets from the TKTS Ticket Booths. In those cases its a good idea to consider seeing a less popular show.
