Tickets to Jersey Boys
 
We will be in NY City beginning August 4 for 5 days and I would love to see the play ...Jersey Boys. What would be our best and easiet way to obtain tickets? I have not been to NY City in over 30 years, so this is exciting! Any HELP really appreciated on ticket info. THANKS!

Check out playbill.com, broadwaybox.com, theatermania.com for discounts. If there aren't any, those sites have links to purchase full-price tickets.

There are no discount codes for Jersey Boys, as the show is one of the hottest tickets in town. Also, it is close to sold out months in advance. If there are tickets available, you can purchase them at telecharge.com. Chances are, the best availability will be for "premium" seats at $350/person (especially if you want to sit with someone else.) You can also go through a broker, but these can be pricey and, possibly, risky.

If you are willing to sit separately, there is a good chance that you can get single seats to a performance.

This show is supposed to be amazing, and I know that I am so excited to see it at the end of July. Good luck getting tickets!

www.stubhub.com has plenty of tickets for that time period. I've always had good experiences with buying tickets from stubhub. Jersey Boys is great and worth paying over face value.

I got my parents tickets for Christmas. We purchased the tickets in November and the earliest we could get without going through a broker was May 23. They went last week and absolutely loved it.

Good luck!

Show is great - esp for someone who remembers that music from their childhood. But - there aree no discounts - and even getting full price tickets will be very dificult for those dates (it looks like they have only partial view seats left - but you should do a detailed search yourself).

If the box office has none you want left (likely) try ebay or stubhub.com (less pricey than some of the other scalpers - and legitimate).

Thanks for your HELP! Now I just need $$$$$$$$$$$ for 3 tickets! I was absolutely astonished at the cost of 3 tickets...almost $1000.00. HHHmmm...guess we may wait until it comes to Detroit! We are use to ticket prices in Detroit, Toronto, and Chicago so this is BIG times for us "hicks." I am checking into other plays, so probably will find a replacement. (or maybe I should not take my husband or son and then I can splurge on myself...after all they do go downhill skiing numerous times while I stay
home!!)
Thanks for the info....I am waiting to see the Big Apple after my last visit of 30 years ago! (:

Well actually the regular orchestra seats are $116 each - but you have to buy them at least 4/5 months in advance - as for any hit show.

I wish I knew that we were going to NY City months ago, as I would have snapped up tickets at $116. That is a deal anywhere!

You might try the telecharge.com website to see if there is a single ticket available for any day you are there. You could go alone and let the guys figure out something to do while you're at Jersey Boys. That's what I did last December. The seat was an obstructed view (only obstruction was just some of the over-the-stage scenery), but that was not a problem.

Momburd, there are still tickets to available through telecharge.com. I saw mezzanine seats on the Wednesday you will be there for $96.50. Don't give up!
