So much so that people who visit <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=40.7166666667,-74.0&spn=0.1,0.1&q=40.7166666667,-74.0&t=h" title="New York City" rel="geolocation" class="zem_slink">New York City</a> for a short time on business, or on a vacation, want to squeeze in at least one Broadway play into their itinerary. With the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_office" title="Box office" rel="wikipedia" class="zem_slink">Box Office</a> on Broadway grossing huge amounts with each show, the prices of Broadway play tickets are heading northwards. What has added to the cost of tickets is the increasing production costs of mainstream plays on Broadway. The presence of many top Hollywood stars in Broadway productions, too, have added to their production costs.<br /><br />With 39 theaters on the Broadway beat, and many others commonly called the Off-Broadway and Off-Off-Broadway theaters, totaling more than 100, a little research can help you get discounted Broadway play tickets for plays of your choice.<br /><br />Looking For Discounted Tickets<br /><br />The easiest way to purchase Broadway play tickets is through the Box Office, but they are normally sold at face value, and are quite expensive. You can, though, get your hands on discounted play tickets through the Box Office if the play is not so popular. Such discounts could be as much as 50 percent. Normally, discount tickets for a new play, and the ones that are popular, are never available, unless you get lucky and may get some extra tickets available at the last moment.<br /><br />Tickets that have been reserved on behalf of actors or other patrons, for their guests who do not turn up or cancel, may be available at the Box Office. Such Broadway play tickets can be available at very reasonable prices, and these could be for great seats. Another way is to get your hands on discount codes that are released by theaters <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=40.7504861111,-73.9935472222&spn=0.01,0.01&q=40.7504861111,-73.9935472222&t=h" title="Madison Square Garden" rel="geolocation" class="zem_slink">in New York</a> for marketing purposes. You can save around 50 percent of the ticket price with such codes, which can be found on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1A9lYC3g-0" title="Internet" rel="youtube" class="zem_slink">the Internet</a>.<br /><br />Theaters have certain seats that obstruct a clear view of the stage because of the scenery or props, or a support column. Such seats are available at huge discounts, if you are ready to forgo a piece of the action, at some particular spot on the stage. Students are offered discounts on presentation of their IDs, and are normally allowed two tickets on one ID. The discounts may vary from theater to theater and the play, but they are substantial. It involves going to the theater and standing in line to see if student discount tickets are on offer or not.<br /><br />One other way of securing discount tickets is to opt for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing_Room_Only_%28TV_series%29" title="Standing Room Only (TV series)" rel="wikipedia" class="zem_slink">Standing Room Only</a> (SRO) tickets. Of course, you will have no seat and will have to watch the complete show standing up. One thing is clear, though. There will be no obstruction, and the view to the stage will be clear. You may get lucky and find yourself a seat if any is available after the play starts.<br /><br />These are some of the ways by which you can find yourself discounted Broadway play tickets, and save yourself a lot of cash.<br /><br />For more resources and Broadway Play Tickets information click the link and enjoy more Broadway play articles, reviews and tips for getting inexpensive tickets.<br /><br />Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Al_Terry<div style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;" class="zemanta-pixie"><a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://reblog.zemanta.com/zemified/303fcdd6-1344-405d-8a67-a4ac788f948d/" title="Zemified by Zemanta"><img style="border: medium none ; float: right;" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=303fcdd6-1344-405d-8a67-a4ac788f948d" alt="Zemanta Pixie" /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501575248063838193.post-12368208358772267832008-06-29T12:53:00.000-07:002008-06-29T12:54:50.305-07:00How To Obtain Affordable New York Broadway Tickets<span class="zemanta-img" style="margin: 1em; float: right; display: block;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/55767727@N00/2447374959"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2253/2447374959_456615ed7e_m.jpg" alt="Fishermans Wharf" style="border: medium none ; display: block;" /></a><span class="zemanta-img-attribution" style="margin: 1em 0pt 0pt; display: block;">Image by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/55767727@N00/2447374959" target="_blank">Ed Stites</a> via Flickr</span></span>Buying New York <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=40.7558333333,-73.9863888889&spn=0.01,0.01&q=40.7558333333,-73.9863888889&t=h" title="Broadway theatre" rel="geolocation" class="zem_slink">Broadway</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ticket_%28admission%29" title="Ticket (admission)" rel="wikipedia" class="zem_slink">tickets</a> is expensive business, especially when you are looking for premium seats for popular shows. You can buy your Broadway tickets through ticket agencies, such as Telecharge and Ticket Master, which sell around 98 percent of all Broadway tickets. These agencies, however, sell tickets at face value, and you have to pay an additional booking charge, which at present comes to $8 for every ticket purchased. You can, of course, avoid paying this booking fee by buying your tickets directly from the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_office" title="Box office" rel="wikipedia" class="zem_slink">Box Office</a>, but you still buy at the face value.<br /><br />When a particular show becomes popular, certain private ticketing agencies buy up all the extra tickets available, and you land up paying more for the tickets you need. This happens when you approach agencies, such as <a href="http://www.ebay.com/" title="EBay" rel="homepage" class="zem_slink">eBay</a>, and Craig list, among others.<br /><br />Does this mean that you cannot obtain New York Broadway tickets at affordable prices?<br /><br />Knowing How To Do It<br /><br />Of course, you can buy New York Broadway tickets at prices lower than the face value of the ticket – if you know how. Let us look at the alternatives available for obtaining affordable tickets for top shows on Broadway.<br /><br />Starving Artist Tickets – These New York Broadway tickets are designed for purchase by struggling artists who cannot afford to buy tickets on full price. To obtain these you must remain on line for a few hours. These can be obtained even for the top shows, and the best seats in the house can be bought for as little as $20.<br /><br />Anyone Rush Tickets – These are same day tickets given out in a lottery, and are available when the Box Office opens a few hours before the production starts. If you are lucky to win the lottery, these tickets cost around $25 to $45, and are to be paid in cash only.<br /><br />Discount Ticket Codes – These secret codes are given out for marketing purposes. If you are able to obtain the code, you could avail of between 25 percent to 60 percent discount on the face value of the ticket. These discount codes can be used at the Box Office or with Telecharge or Ticket Master<br />.<br />Partial View Tickets – Certain seats have obstructed view due to the scenery, or due to the support columns that come in the way. New York Broadway tickets for such seats, which may be at the very front or the sides of the orchestra, are available at significant discounts.<br /><br />Student Rush Tickets – These are ideal for students, and are available when the Box Office opens, or a few hours before the production starts. These cost between $20 to $25 per ticket, and each student ID can purchase two tickets.<br />Standing Room Only – These tickets are very inexpensive and may cost around $20 for even the top Broadway show. These do not guarantee any seats, but you may possibly get a seat if any remain unoccupied after the show has started.<br /><br />These are some of the ways to get your New York Broadway tickets at very affordable prices.<br /><br />For more resources and New York Broadway Tickets information click the link and enjoy more New York theater articles, reviews and tips.<br /><br />Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Al_Terry<div style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;" class="zemanta-pixie"><a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://reblog.zemanta.com/zemified/6a55c95b-3e4a-4fbe-9143-0e0300e2603f/" title="Zemified by Zemanta"><img style="border: medium none ; float: right;" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_a.png?x-id=6a55c95b-3e4a-4fbe-9143-0e0300e2603f" alt="Zemanta Pixie" /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501575248063838193.post-49651115426730180152008-06-23T11:16:00.000-07:002008-06-23T11:17:32.390-07:00The Most Popular Broadway Shows<span class="zemanta-img" style="DISPLAY: block; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 1em"><a href="http://www.daylife.com/image/0aiq14I8LCfpK"><img alt="NEW YORK - NOVEMBER 29: A crowd enters The Broadway Theatre for " src="http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/0aiq14I8LCfpK/150x97.jpg" style="border: none; display: block" /></a><span class="zemanta-img-attribution" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 1em 0px 0px">Image by <a href="http://www.daylife.com/source/Getty_Images">Getty Images</a> via <a href="http://www.daylife.com/">Daylife</a></span></span> When you are in New York and decide to watch some of the most popular and most acclaimed <a class="zem_slink" title="Broadway theatre" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=40.7558333333,-73.9863888889&spn=0.01,0.01&q=40.7558333333,-73.9863888889&t=h" rel="geolocation">Broadway shows</a>, be prepared to put in the effort to obtain those hard-to-get, and sometimes elusive, tickets.

Consequently, the demand for its <a class="zem_slink" title="Ticket (admission)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ticket_%28admission%29" rel="wikipedia">tickets</a> is awfully high. Since most shows are held for a limited duration of time, there is always a mad rush for tickets. This accounts for some agencies buying tickets in bulk to help people avoid last minute hassles. They sell the tickets later at a price that is inclusive of their margins and this proves to be a good source of revenue for them. There are different techniques that these agencies employ for selling of Broadway tickets.<br /><br />There are many online agencies that can assist in the selling of Broadway tickets. These agencies buy extra tickets, which are resold to another broker or customer who needs them. However, there are certain formalities to be completed before the actual process of selling takes place. This includes filling out the tickets- to -sell form. Sellers are required to furnish all the details or information regarding seat location and the price they expect to get for a certain show ticket. A representative of the agency goes through the offer, and after proper evaluation, gets in touch with the <a class="zem_slink" title="Sales" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales" rel="wikipedia">seller</a>. The evaluation process includes thorough checking of the information provided, which has to be supported by authentic documents. The documents include a legible copy of <a class="zem_slink" title="Driver's license" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driver%27s_license" rel="wikipedia">driver's license</a> and a letter of agreement specifying the written consent of the seller to sell the tickets to the agency. Following this, the seller and the agency reach a mutual agreement.<br /><br />Tickets are also <a class="zem_slink" title="Sell (professional wrestling)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sell_%28professional_wrestling%29" rel="wikipedia">sold</a> on consignment with online ticket selling companies. However, the difference here is that these kinds of tickets might not necessarily sell. 85% of the proceeds from the sale of such tickets go to the seller. The latter can take the consignment tickets back at will, but has the responsibility to pay for the shipping charges.<br /><br />Broadway tickets are also sold to some companies at wholesale prices, which in turn resell them at retail prices. These companies generally pay 50% to 75% of the <a class="zem_slink" title="Price" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price" rel="wikipedia">retail price</a> to the seller. <a class="zem_slink" title="Broker" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broker" rel="wikipedia">Brokers</a> also assist in selling Broadway tickets by making arrangement for the sellers to place their ticket inventory on various sites.<br /><br />There is an elaborate technique and process for selling of Broadway tickets, to make sure that those interested are not denied the opportunity of enjoying the show.

Wishing to see these special shows on Broadway is all right, but arranging your Broadway sales tickets is something else.<br /><br />Unless you have booked your tickets for your specific shows months in advance, and at times a year in advance, you may have a problem arranging for them. Locals are known to book in advance, but what happens to the visitors who are there for a short time, and wish to enjoy a show of their choice on Broadway?<br /><br />The Broadway Ticket Brokers<br /><br />Broadway consists of 39 theaters designated as such. Others are either designated as Off-Broadway or Off-Off-Broadway theaters. These are not based on the location of the theaters, as the designations might suggest, but are based on the seating capacities. Off-Broadway theaters have a <a class="zem_slink" title="Seating capacity" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seating_capacity" rel="wikipedia">seating capacity</a> ranging from 100 to 499, and Off-Off-Broadway theaters have a capacity of 99 seats or less. Broadway theaters have a seating capacity ranging from 500 to 2000.<br /><br />If you have not made any advance booking, your safest and best bet for obtaining your Broadway sales tickets at the last moment, are the many Broadway ticket brokers. They can help you get your Broadway sales tickets for the shows of your choice, and it may be possible for you to get premium seats as well. Of course, no broker may be able to guarantee a particular seat number, but you may be able to get seats in particular areas designated as ‘Orchestra,’ ‘Mezzanine,’ etc.<br /><br />If you are looking for group tickets, ticket brokers can help you arrange those as well. You may be planning to entertain your business clients next week, or planning a night out with your ‘old boys’’ association, chances are that your wishes may be granted. Broadway ticket brokers can arrange your Broadway sales tickets for your event next week.<br /><br />It is always advisable to buy your Broadway sales tickets from reputed brokers. You may be advised to purchase your tickets, at the spur of the moment, through re-sale forums, and through <a class="zem_slink" title="EBay" href="http://www.ebay.com/" rel="homepage">eBay.</a> Chances are that you may get the tickets you want, but at the same time there is every chance of being scammed. How do you ensure that the tickets are genuine, with genuine seat numbers? You carry a similar risk of being scalped when buying your tickets for a Broadway show through a scalper.<br /><br />Ensure that the broker you use is a licensed one, and is a member of the National Association of Ticket Brokers. Member brokers need to maintain a high level of ethics in their business dealings. Buying your Broadway sales tickets through such brokers guarantees you fair dealing.<br /><br />For more resources and Broadway Sales Ticket information click the link for great articles, news and reviews on New York City entertainment and Broadway sales ticket sources.<br /><br />Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Reed_Tieri<br /><br /><div class="zemanta-pixie" style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px; HEIGHT: 15px"><a class="zemanta-pixie-a" title="Zemified by Zemanta" href="http://reblog.zemanta.com/zemified/c74c5dfb-4967-4225-af9f-8eda4401671a/"><img class="zemanta-pixie-img" style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; FLOAT: right; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" alt="Zemanta Pixie" src="http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_a.png?x-id=c74c5dfb-4967-4225-af9f-8eda4401671a" /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501575248063838193.post-10377422454531845482008-06-09T11:02:00.000-07:002008-06-09T11:04:00.929-07:00Discount Broadway Tickets<span class="zemanta-img" style="DISPLAY: block; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 1em"><a href="http://www.daylife.com/image/0aiq14I8LCfpK"><img alt="NEW YORK - NOVEMBER 29: A crowd enters The Broadway Theatre for " src="http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/0aiq14I8LCfpK/150x97.jpg" style="border: none; display: block" /></a><span class="zemanta-img-attribution" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 1em 0px 0px">Image by <a href="http://www.daylife.com/source/Getty_Images">Getty Images</a> via <a href="http://www.daylife.com/">Daylife</a></span></span> Often due to the huge popularity of <a class="zem_slink" title="Broadway theatre" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=40.7558333333,-73.9863888889&spn=0.01,0.01&q=40.7558333333,-73.9863888889&t=h" rel="geolocation">Broadway shows</a>, ticket prices of plays, concerts and other performances remain high at all times.

They use creative stage design, lighting and other innovative production techniques that call for large investments. The producers of these shows are solely dependant on the commercial success of the show for generating revenue and this encourages them to sell tickets for the shows at a relatively high price.<br /><br />Off Broadway shows offer an opportunity for budding talents in theatrical arts to explore new subjects. Their innovativeness catches the attention of theatre enthusiasts and draws them to the theatre. The immense popularity of most Broadway shows is a reason for the high price of the tickets. The short duration for which the shows are held creates a mad rush and this factor also accounts for the high price of Broadway show tickets.<br /><br />Off Broadway show tickets are sold at variable rates depending on the success of a certain show. On many occasions, they are sold for more than the face value. Producers also set prices depending on the type of the event, the venue and the seat location. The review rating ascribed to a show in the media has a bearing on the price of tickets for that show.<br /><br />There are licensed ticket brokers who can provide assistance in getting tickets at lower prices. They can help in getting discounts to the tune of 25%, 35% and even 50% of the full price. These ticket brokers fulfill the need of many customers for low cost tickets by encouraging them to apply for discount codes. People interested in Broadway shows can subscribe to these discount codes and book their tickets in advance. This helps them in saving up to fifty percent of the ticket price.<br /><br />Tickets for Broadway shows can be collected from the box office window, booked online or over the phone. Tickets sold at the box office window do not carry service charge and are sold at a lower price. As phone and online order for tickets carry service charges they are usually more expensive.<br /><br />Off Broadway show ticket prices are determined by different factors, but by booking them in advance through the right sources, it is possible for theatre lovers to enjoy these entertaining shows at a reasonable price.<br /><br />Broadway Tickets provides detailed information on Broadway Tickets, Discount Broadway Tickets, Half Price Broadway Tickets, Broadway Ticket Brokers and more.

Such organizations set standards to which all brokers adhere.<br /><br />Besides providing Broadway tickets, such brokers also offer some attractive holiday, travel, and other kinds of packages. For example, apart from offering tickets for almost all shows, Applause Tickets also provide some theatre and hotel packages like ‘theatre lovers delight’ which includes staying at hotel for some nights, viewing plays and other shows, and even dining at some selected restaurants.<br /><br />Like Applause Tickets, BarryTickets with its huge network helps in securing the best seats to all major events in Broadway also.<br /><br />Tickco Premium Seating, Tickets Now, Rave Review, Team One Tickets, Tickets.cc, Vivid Seats, BarrysTickets, Webtickets, and Gotickets are some ticket brokers who offer premium seats for almost all Broadway shows.<br /><br />Broadway ticket brokers also buy, besides selling Broadway tickets to the public.

This is evident from the emergence of secondary markets catering to the needs of a large number of people, who enjoy Broadway shows.<br /><br />The secondary market for Broadway tickets comprises of a large number of companies that buy tickets from authorized sellers of show tickets and resell them after adding their margins to the prices. The ticket prices in the secondary market are usually higher than the original ticket price as the agency incurs expenses in procuring the tickets from the original source.<br /><br />Companies in the business of selling Broadway tickets typically own websites where tickets for various shows are listed. The listing is categorized by cities and the schedule of the Broadway shows in each city. The booking for tickets can be done online or over the phone. The mode of payment accepted by such websites selling Broadway tickets includes major credit cards, cashier's check or money order. Most companies, which are a part of the secondary market for Broadway tickets, guarantee availability of tickets with options to book premium seats.<br /><br />The operation of the secondary market however, has an adverse impact on many theatre lovers as it prevents them the convenience of getting tickets at the box office. This is particularly true in the case of less affluent people who are unable to afford the high price of tickets in the secondary market. The companies operating in the secondary market buy tickets in bulk creating artificial scarcity and thereby higher demand in the market. This also enables these companies to reap huge profits by quoting very high prices for tickets.<br /><br />Ticket brokers working in the secondary market end up bribing those responsible for selling tickets at the show venue such as the box office employees, agents, and venue managers. This cost is invariably covered by way of charging additional price for the tickets making the popular Broadway shows well beyond the reach of the vast majority of citizens in this country.<br /><br />The existence of Broadway ticket secondary market has both positive and negative implications. While it ensures the availability of tickets and helps avoid last minute disappointment for many people, it also encourages corrupt practices and prevents many theatre lovers from being able to watch their favorite Broadway shows.<br /><br />Broadway Tickets provides detailed information on Broadway Tickets, Discount Broadway Tickets, Half Price Broadway Tickets, Broadway Ticket Brokers and more.
