As someone who enjoys new experiences and often needs a break from a hectic work schedule, I love going to see a show as often as I can. The first time I got around to looking for tickets to a new musical, it felt unnecessarily complicated. Tickets were expensive and sifting through the different sites took too much time. All this changed when a friend told me about TodayTix, a quick and easy way to get theater tickets, without the hassle or high fees. You can use either the app or the site, which both offer an easy-to-use service that helps people like me who want to spontaneously see a show after work, or even plan a few weeks in advance.

TodayTix even offers last minute discounts and exclusive lotteries for the most sought after (and expensive) shows in nine major cities around the US. They also have full price tickets available anywhere from same-day to more than a month in advance for all the top productions on (and off) Broadway and across the States. Since I started using this service, I’ve saved myself hours of time scouring the Internet and lining up for tickets. TodayTix staff are waiting right out front to hand you your tickets, and they even give you a magazine with nearby bar and restaurant recommendations – as well as exclusive interviews with stars from the top shows to flip through while you wait for the performance to start.

When my mom came to town last month, we went to see a musical called “Hello, Dolly!” Tickets started at $39 on TodayTix. Along with never being surprised by ending up in a seat with a partial view of the stage, you get to choose your section, and we chose to sit in the orchestra section (typically the best area to sit in). I loved how transparent the pricing was, I even checked other sites online and couldn’t believe the difference in cost. All it took was a few more taps and our tickets were purchased. I felt like I had the run of the city between grabbing Broadway tickets on my phone and having a concierge hand them to us. Most importantly, my mom absolutely loved the show.

After using TodayTix, I realized my weeknights would never be the same. With an easy to use app, I can quickly grab rush tickets while at work and be living the high life by 8pm at one of New York’s top shows. It’s also given me a new love of theater, and is a great excuse not to plop in front of Netflix after work every night. I try to get to a show every month now and I even get credit for signing up my friends. My experience with TodayTix has been flawless from start to finish. TodayTix is like a one-stop shop for culture in New York with opera, musicals, plays, and even comedy. With no wait, no hassle, and no hidden fees, I am sold on theater and TodayTix. Discount prices don’t have to mean discount experiences!
