Discounted Theatre Tickets: Part I (International)

Posted by on October 5th, 2008 at 04:16pm

Everyone is looking to get discounted theatre tickets all over the web. And I will be giving you the best tips and tricks to getting your discounted tickets easily, and as time and cost effective as possible. For Part I of this article, I will be sharing how you can save on International theatre tickets (outside of the United States). This will help you save some money while still getting great seats!

When I went to London over Spring Break, I bought all of my tickets for a few different Broadway shows in advanced. The tickets were beyond expensive when buying them off the internet, but I figured that I wanted to guarantee myself and my family great seats to the shows we would be seeing, and it would be worth it to just take the good seats while they were available.

Once we actually arrived in London, we checked into our hotel, dropped off our luggage, and roamed around London. I saw a bunch of different stands for discounted theatre tickets all around London. I walked right past every last one of them assuming they weren’t really 50% off, but were marked up then marked down 50%, just making them look like a huge discount. Then, later in the day, I did grow some curiousity as to how good these prices really were compared to the prices I got my tickets at. So I waited in a 20-30 minute line, and then finally I was up at the front. So I started talking to the guy behind the counter about what seats he had for Wicked (even though I already had seats that I had bought offline). And as it turns out, I could have spent a quarter on my Wicked tickets and gotten close-to-as-good seats! I couldn’t believe myself.

I did a little research afterwards, and found out that they have these little stands where you can get tickets at extremely discounted tickets in not only London, but major countries such as Paris and China as well. So if you are planning to leave the United States and are going to see any Broadway shows, be sure to see if the area you will be traveling to has these discount booths that will save you loads of green!
