Whether you are a theater buff or you're in the market to see your first stage performance, you're sure to be wowed by the talented artists that perform on Broadway. These shows are certainly worth every penny, however, getting tickets at a discounted price means you'll have money left over to put toward your next outing. Below are a few tips and tricks you can take advantage of so that you never have to pay full price to buy Broadway tickets. 

Wait Until the Day of the Show

The Theatre Development Fund runs three discount ticket booths that sell tickets for performances that are set to occur that day. Head to either the Times Square Booth, the Downtown Brooklyn Booth, or the South Street Seaport Booth. Additionally, if you opt to become a member of the Theatre Development Fund, you'll be eligible for up to 70% off a variety of artistic productions.

Utilize Promotion Codes

When you opt to buy Broadway tickets online, you have the option of entering a promotion code to bring down the price. There are several organizations who provide these handy codes, so long as you are a registered user of their site. The most popular and trustworthy sites that offer these amazing deals include TheaterMania and Playbill. If you plan on visiting the theater often, then it is worth sharing your email address with these companies.

Visit During the Off Season

Just like many vacation destinations have an off-season, there are a few months of the year when the Broadway shows are less likely to be sold out. These include the colder January and February months, as well as the month of September, when families are settling in to the back-to-school routine. A ticket broker would have a better chance of securing you seats at a more affordable price if you are willing to see a show during these-off season months.

Take Your Chances with the Lottery

The Broadway box office holds a lottery each day for the shows that are about to begin just a few short hours later. The tickets given out in this lottery are called Anyone Rush Tickets and the lucky winners of this lottery will get to see a show at a significantly reduced rate. It is important to note that you must pay for these tickets in cash if you end up having your name drawn, so be sure to come prepared.
