Discount Broadway Ticket Types:
There are over 14 different types of tickets available to a live Broadway show. The main types are Regular Tickets at Face Value and Discount Code Tickets that are the cheapest options. On our website, we offer four different types of discount Broadway tickets and two non-discounted ticket options for NYC shows.
This section goes over the differences between these six different Broadway ticket types that are available.
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 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) are listed and are the cheapest priced face value options for each of these tickets are shown..
These tickets have a discount ranging anywhere from 10% off to 70% off the standard face value of Broadway show tickets. Our members can use our proprietary discount codes to purchase these discount Broadway tickets. You can access all of these Broadway discount codes with a purchase of the Broadway Ticket Guide.
Lottery Tickets
Another ticket option are Broadway Lottery Tickets which are, as the name says, 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 great discount. Lottery Tickets Schedule is typically the very cheapest way to see a live Broadway show, but people are not guaranteed to win the lottery and typically may have to enter a few times to win.
Standing Room Only
Standing Room Only tickets are another cheap way to see a Broadway show, as they 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 when all other tickets 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.
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. Typically, Secondary Market Tickets are not sold for a discount because the show tickets are already in high demand and brokers are looking to maximize returns.
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 often take into account other show ticket prices, show revenue, PR and marketing feedback, overhead costs, word of mouth, and the other existing discount Broadway tickets that may be available in the market that they will need to compete with.
Discount Broadway Show 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.
Unfortunately, most of Broadway’s top shows often sell out their tickets days or even weeks in advance before the show, and if you can’t get RUSH Tickets or Last-Minute Tickets from the TKTS Ticket Booths, it may be a good idea to go see a less popular show. That will still be a great Broadway experience and a bargain to boot.
