Experiencing a Broadway show should be on everyone's NYC bucket list. The talent is top-notch, the theaters are phenomenal, and the experience is unparalleled.

In this episode, we're gonna break down some NYC Broadway tips that will make your experience both more enjoyable, and cheaper!

Best Way to Get Broadway Tickets

TKTS Booth

If you wanna do the Times Square TKTS booth (Broadway & 47th), you get the fast pass if you have a ticket from the previous day to skip the often 1+ hour long line!

There's usually a shorter line at the Lincoln Center booth (Columbus & 62nd), and sometimes different inventory than Times Square.

TKTS booth doesn't have every show, so if you're deadset on Wicked, for example, then buy beforehand.

You'll pay about the same price as apps or ticket sites the day of, but you'll have much better seats. Often in the orchestra (lower) section.

The app shows an inventory of each location, but it's not always exact.

Other Ticket Providers

TodayTix is great if you plan up to a month ahead. You can also use broadway.com, Viator, or ticket providers like Vivid Seats or Ticketmaster, etc.

At the Show

You always go through security, so don't bring weapons like pepper spray... If you forget, sometimes they'll hold it for you but don't bank on that.

You can usually bring snacks in, just be respectful about it and open them before the show starts.

Bring a jacket, the theaters are usually really cold even in the summer.

Don't use your phone at all, it ruins shows.

Please don't sing along.

If you need to use the restroom during intermission, leave as soon as the intermission starts. Lines are long, always!

Don't use the pedicabs when you're leaving the show. Just don't don't do it. You'll get price gouged.

Above all, enjoy the experience!
