Travel Tipia

Seeing a Broadway show can be an incredible experience but is can also be an expensive one. While these shows are full of incredible magic their cost of entry can be a barrier for many people. I mean, shows like Hamilton could cost up to $1000 a little into its run. While it is true that these costs are what you have to deal with to have full control of your experience, if you are flexible there is another option.

There is a system in New York where you can get tickets for performances happening on the same day for up to 50% off. You don’t have control over where you sit and your options for show might be limited but it will include many major shows happening on Broadway. You can get these from places like the TKTS booth in Times Square. You can also enter ticket lotteries which if won let you buy extremely discounted tickets. This is a mechanism to let even those who don’t have much money eventually get to see a Broadway show.

While these options aren’t ideal if you want to maintain control over your trip and experience it is a good option if ever in New York on a steep budget.
