Take a Chance on Broadway

If you are in the New York area, a trip to the box office can be very rewarding. One advantage is that there are no convenience charges added to tickets sold at the theater box office. You can have your choice of seats at face value. In addition, the box office may offer a lottery, giving you a last minute chance to purchase tickets in the first few rows.

At least two hours before the show, theatergoers can enter a lottery for premium seats. Chances of getting selected from the lottery vary depending upon the number of seats available and the total number of entries. People who are selected from the lottery are expected to purchase their tickets immediately in cash.

If you don't want to leave your theater plans to chance, you can purchase tickets in advance online and by phone. When purchasing tickets this way, expect to pay service charges ranging from $7-$10. Buying tickets online offers you the advantage of comparing prices for different theaters and shows. Online customers can also see where their seats will be located by consulting a seating chart before confirming a purchase. Internet and telephone ticket sales are ideal for anyone who wants complete control over the buying process.
