NY Show Tickets

Hi everyone,

I just returned yesterday with my Family from a fabulous 4 day visit to NY. I had called upon the advice of fellow TRF members as to where to stay and eat well... The accommodations were superb and I have never ever eaten better. I have been around the world a few times... But NY's food choices and quality blew me away. So much so that I want to go back and soon... But this time I would like us all to catch a Broadway show.

Now my question is... Does anyone know if there is any way to either order on line or call and have tickets delivered to the Hotel?.

I was in Times Square and the line up to purchase tickets was hours long.. I sound like a snob, but I can't handle lineups..

I'm just not sure how to get my hands on tickets and not have to stand in a line for ages.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Rgds, Shawn

Glad you enjoyed the city.

You never have to wait in line for tickets. The line you saw was for TKTS - same day discounted tickets (donated, unsold tickets from various shows) where proceeds go to the Theater Development Fund. The line is long because tickets can be up to 75% off face value so its the only way many families can see a Broadway production

You can go to website of the Broadway show you want to see and buy your tickets there and pick them up at will-call just before the show

Or you can go to telecharge.com and they will have most Broadway and Off-Broadway theaters with tickets to be had. You can also go to didhelikeit.com and read reviews of most shows.

My wife and I did the Times Square / Broadway show thing back in September. We had a great time and are really looking forward to going back.
