Fancy Broadway shows but turned off by the high ticket prices? Take a look at Today Tix. This neat app could be your golden ticket to some of the most exciting shows, whether it’s Tony Awards season or not.
Here’s a short story – I was dying to watch The Book of Mormon with my best friend. We waited three whole years only to end up paying $200 each for last-row balcony seats. Not a fun experience, I promise.
Back in my high school days, my friends and I would try and save every penny from our part-time jobs just to buy a ticket to a show in NYC. These tickets would ideally cost around $90.
But, let me share the silver lining. Nowadays, there are cool ways to find discounted tickets. And my personal favorite way is through the Today Tix app. This app does not just enter you into several lotteries (like the elusive Shakespeare in the Park lottery that I never seem to win) but also provides awesome discounts on numerous Broadway and off-Broadway performances.
What’s more, their repertoire has expanded significantly over time. Today Tix now has smash-hit musicals such as Groundhog Day, War Paint, and Bandstand to fringe favorites like Blue Man Group, Sleep No More, and Puffs. They even host a variety of events featuring circuses, improv shows, and magic acts!
Not based in NYC or planning a trip? Today Tix has you covered with show listings in Philadelphia, Connecticut, DC, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and even London.
If you give the Today Tix app a try using the code FRCNO, you’ll get a cool $10 off your first purchase!
For those who’d rather not spend on theatre, there’s plenty of free theatre in New York City, especially during the summer season. And if you’re a local feeling the pinch of costly theatre tickets, why not volunteer as an usher at many theatres? It gives you a chance to see the show for free, and this opportunity isn’t confined to NYC alone.
Out of curiosity, what’s the best show you’ve ever seen?
