How to Get Tickets for a Play

Although "second-acting" allows a daring theatergoer to see the second half of a play for free by sneaking in with the intermission crowd and locating an empty seat, those wanting to experience a play in it's entirety have many options for purchasing tickets. While one can always go the traditional route of simply calling the theater office itself, a bit of investigative web-surfing provides anyone the opportunity to find play tickets at a discounted rate.

      New York City has seemingly endless Broadway and off-Broadway options for theatergoers.

      Research which plays are available to see. Consider how far you are willing to travel to attend a play. Most often, metropolitan areas have the largest variety of plays. For example, a search of New York City plays offers more than 100 choices for theatergoers.

      Determine which play interests you. Once you know which plays are available, choose one you find appealing. Contact the ticket office and inquire about ticket prices. If you find ticket price agreeable, purchase tickets. Otherwise, use that information as a guide when searching for cheaper tickets.

      Explore the Internet for websites that sell discount play tickets and determine what kind of a deal you can get. For example, the website TheaterMania offers discounted play tickets in major metro areas across the United States. Before purchasing, be sure to research the website to ensure that it is a trustworthy source.

      Depending on your level of daring, consider showing up at the theater just before your chosen play is set to begin and ask if there are any last-minute tickets available at a discounted price.
