Discount Show Tickets

If you're looking for last-minute tickets, it doesn't hurt to go to the source! You can go to the box office of the show you're most interested in to see if they have team members handing out discount coupons and promotional flyers nearby.

You can even call or do your research before you go to see if they offer rush tickets or a lottery for cheap day-of-show seats.

Rush Tickets

Most theatre shows in NYC and London, sell day-of-performance rush tickets or offer a lottery for coveted orchestra or front row seats to the show.

For general rush tickets, you go to the box office at a particular time and they sell first-come, first-served rush tickets anywhere from $20-$50 a ticket. This is a great way to purchase cheap show tickets when you don't have a strict itinerary and you're open to seeing multiple shows!

The Lottery

Find out if a show offers rush tickets or a lottery by checking the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section of the shows' website. ​

For the lottery tickets, you can arrive at the designated time to put your name in the hat. Usually these lotteries are available only in-person at the box office, with a limit of two tickets per person, paying cash only.

Some shows have a digital or online lottery where you can enter your information and wait for an email after the lottery closes to find out whether you won or not.
