Booking Broadway shows

Personally I would only book ahead if there is something you are desperate to see. We tend to book one show for our first evening then get everything else once we’re there.

We see most shows by doing day seats, basically queuing up at the box office early in the morning. I know this isn’t for everyone but our trips are based around seeing shows so it works for us.

It’s also worth checking TKTS prices, but I think you get better deals at the box office. TKTS charge a booking fee.

I don’t think today tix have as many rush shows, most of the ones we’ve wanted to see haven’t been on there. But we have done the today tix offer where you pay say $99 and get given a seat 24 hrs before the show. We did this most recently for Parade and were given two front row mid circle tickets.

You can also get very good deals if the main star is off. We got brilliant $45 stalls seats for Funny Girl when 3 of the 4 named stars were off.

If you don’t mind what you see Broadway roulette is good, but we always try to see things we’ve not seen/not on in the U.K.
