Tips For Finding Last Minute Theatre Tickets To Broadway Shows

By: Al Terry

It is hard to find regular tickets to Broadway shows but an even more difficult task is to find last minute theatre tickets. Many people find themselves in the Big Apple unexpectedly and most tourists are satisfied until they have watched a show on the Broadway.

Getting Last Minute Theatre Tickets

If you are in NYC and need last minute theatre tickets, there are several methods through which the tickets can be obtained. Most tourists find it easy to secure the day of the performance tickets from the TKTS booths that are operated by the Theatre Development Fund. Most tickets are offered at a discount ranging from 25-75% of the face value. One of the TKTS booths is in Times Square and the other is located at the Lower Manhattan Theatre Centre at South Street Seaport. The booths have a list of the shows for which tickets are available with them.

You can also check if the show that you wish to watch has any rush or standing room only tickets. Some shows have a lottery conducted about 3 hours prior to a performance and winners are awarded tickets at great discounts. To avail that, you need to be present to collect the tickets personally.

If you are desperate for last minute theatre tickets, you should try and find if there are any discount tickets available at the box office. These tickets are offered at a discount as they offer obstructed views. Standing room only tickets come at a discount too, but you have to watch the show standing at the back of the theatre.

You can also find last minute theatre tickets by waiting at the box office for returned tickets as well as the day-of-the-performance tickets. There is no guarantee that you will get the tickets but there is no harm in trying.

The local scalper can get you the tickets too. You may find them at online auctions as well but they come with a risk as you have no way of knowing if the tickets that you have paid for are genuine or not. You may end up denting your pockets for a fake ticket!

The best place to get last minute theatre tickets is from an authorized ticket broker. They have a huge inventory and can get you last minute theatre tickets even for shows that have been sold out! You can go online and make your request or give them a call. They will secure the tickets and have them delivered to you as soon as possible (hours prior to the show). The tickets that a registered broker can procure for you are genuine and come with a guarantee. You need not fear about getting counterfeit tickets.

You just have to make an online payment and then make plans to enjoy a memorable evening at the Great White Way. If your friends are coming for a visit and you wish to treat them to a Broadway musical, then you can always find great tickets even at the last minute at an authorized broker's website. So from now on, you can quit worrying about getting the tickets. Just relax and enjoy a great show by securing tickets from an authorized ticket broker.
