SWR--where to get cheap show tickets

I wanted to get BM dresses with my girls in October, and I thought it would be nice if we could all go see a show afterwards (either on broadway or off broadway). Does anyone know of a website where I can order tickets at a discounted price? Thanks!

If you are not picky about the show you can go to the tickets office in times square - then you get them 1/2 off. We do this almost every time we are in the city and we have always gotten tix.

How early can you get them in advance? I wanted to get our dresses in October, so I was thinking in the next few weeks or so setting up the date with my BM's and getting the tickets right away. That way everything is all set.

Do you know any teachers? We always have these discount coupons sitting in our faculty room that offer great prices.

One of my BMs is a student teacher, but I don't think she gets to hang out in the faculty room.

It can be a scary place!!!

You can always wait on line in Times Square at the ticket sales line there!

You have to buy them the same day when you go to Duffy Square. Basically they are selling the tickets that have not been sold for that day's performances and so you get a discount.

TKTS right in the middle of times square-- you have to stand on the line i think it opens at 12pm-- you can get up to 50% off only on selected shows ( the ones they have listed) new ones and big $$$ makers are not on the list-- Have fun

I second BroadwayBox.com. They list all the discount codes, so you can call in advance and get a specific date and a choice of seats. So much better than waiting on a line for hours with the possibility of leaving empty handed!

TKTS is at most day before and that's only if you go to the Seaport location. Times Square is strictly day of. Playbill.com has specials. If you are a teacher or military you can subscribe to TDF.org. It's an online service that sells discount theatre tickets. They are the foundation that sponsors the TKTS booth, but if you join online you can buy tickets like a week or two in advance rather than day of. It's like $22 or $23 dollars to join and the tickets are usually $32 for broadway musicals and $20 something for plays. cheaper for off broadway. They also have lincoln center shows, ballet, opera, etc.

I 3rd it! They usually list all the codes from different offers that go out. You can also register for discount show e-mails from Playbill.com, Theatermania.com, HotNYCDeals.com, SmartTix.com, TicketCentral.com, Telecharge.com, and NYTimes.com has a TicketWatch e-mail.
