It used to be that tickets to a Broadway show didn’t set you back a mortgage payment.  As the price of a ticket has climbed to well over $100, a night at the theater became much more difficult to afford.  Fear not, you frustrated thespians!  There are several websites that offer discounted tickets to great seats to fabulous shows.

One site is called NYTix.com – www.nytix.com, Here, you can find tickets to nearly every Broadway, Off-Broadway and Off-Off-Broadway production at a fraction of the regular price.  A small fee ($4) gets you a month of access to discount codes that bring the price down to as low as $66.50 for an orchestra seat.

Another site is – http://www.theatermania.com/ – which has discounted tickets to shows all over the world – NYC, London, Las Vegas and many more.  There’s no fee to sign up – just an email address and a password – and besides going directly to the site to search for a show, you’ll receive frequent email offers.  I recently bought tickets to “Desire Under the Elms” for $68 apiece

The last site that I love is www.broadwaybox.com/ – which works much like the previous two but there’s no fee or sign up required to get the discount codes.

All of these sites have some overlap (the discounts are usually exactly the same or very, very similar) but if you’re a theater buff, try one!  These days, we can all use a little cultural escape!
