Discount Broadway tickets
 

Could I get some feedback on the "coupon code" sites for Broadway tickets? There are a lot on Ebay and I was wondering are these safe to use. Any opinions about which are the best? Thanks

I recently used www.broadwaybox.com for our tickets to Chicago and 42nd Street. We saved a lot of money and had great seats. After seeing the long line at the 1/2 price ticket booth in Times Square we were very glad we bought ours ahead of time.

Not sure what feedback you're looking for re "coupon code" sites. If you're talking about playbill.com, theatermania.com, hitshowclub.com etc., I think they're all fine & I think they have similar listings.

Don't know about the ebay listings. I know people sell tickets they can't use on ebay legitimately. You shouldn't apy more than face value. <b>Don't</b> pay for coupon codes on ebay. That's unnecessary. Read these previous threads

Mclaurie is absolutely correct. Do NOT pay for coupon codes on ebay. You can get the same ones for free on the websites mentioned.

Try playbill.com

If you want discounted tickets, it's fun to try the lottery drawing they have at most theater's at 5pm the day of the show. Everyone that shows up signs up and if they pick your name you get to buy 2 or 4 tickets for 25$. We did this for Hairspray and some people that sat next to us had seen Wicked the night before 3rd row center for 25$ also.

The only problem with the lottery system is that if you don't get chosen, you're out of luck for seeing a show that night.
I agree about forgetting about the discount coupons on EBay -- a total ripoff as they are free on other sites and still don't guarantee you a ticket. I have also seen ads on EBay for specific tickets at inflated prices saying &quot;prime orchestra seats&quot; but checking out the listing find they are way in the back and side of the orchestra, and certainly not worth the price.

The best site in my opinon is www.broadwaybox.com It is a compilation of all the other sites' codes.

Also check theatermania.com, and hitshowclub.com. Keep in mind that the big hits (producers, hairspray, lion king, wicked), rarely, if ever have discounts.
