TICKETS AND DISCOUNTS

Is It Cheaper to Buy Broadway Tickets at the Box Office?

The theatre box office can be cheaper if it waives online or telephone charges for in-person purchases. The saving varies by production and ticket type, so compare the same seat and performance.

What to ask for

Bring the date, time and section you found online. Ask whether the same seat is available and get the full in-person price. A facility charge can still apply. Ask when the box office sells future performances, as some houses limit advance sales close to curtain.

When the trip is worth it

Walking to the theatre can make sense if you are nearby, buying several seats or checking an official rush offer. An online purchase can make sense if you are traveling, need accessible seating confirmed before arrival, or can see limited availability. Verify that you are using the theatre’s actual box office and keep the receipt and ticket delivery instructions.
