Tickets to Broadway Shows

Due to their enormous popularity, getting tickets for popular Broadway shows is normally not an easy task. Keeping track of show-related information and news, and doing some advance planning, is the safest bet to get a good deal. Official websites like www.livebroadway.com and many other sites like www.ticko.com/theatre.htm, www.broadway.com/gen/concierge.aspx, High 5 Tickets, and Theater Direct International provide comprehensive information about shows and tickets. For the upmarket audience, tickets are available either in advance or at the box office of the theater featuring the shows. Tickets are given on a first-come, first-served basis when a person turns up at the counter. For shows that regularly sell out, some amount of prior homework has to be done.

Many production houses like the Fox production house (www. fabulousfox.com) and arts centers like TPAC (Tennessee Performing Arts Center) have their own websites, which sell tickets for their shows. Membership in Broadway show clubs like Playbill also ensures that members get tickets to various popular shows. It is generally economical to buy tickets offered at a subscriber\'s sale. Brokered tickets for touring shows are also available online. www.broadwayacrossamerica.com allows people across America to book online tickets which are generally not available at the official box office, although at a higher price.

Some of the best deals for Broadway tickets are through TKTS. TKTS is run by a non-profit organization called the Theater Development Fund. The main aim of this organization is to make Broadway shows affordable to common show lovers. Tickets are available at red and white booths at South Street Seaport and the center of Times Square. Booking tickets online or through a hotel concierge is another option, though sometimes a little expensive.
