Lincoln Center Theater has eliminated their student membership program and started LincTix for anyone ages 21 to 35. After you sign up, tickets for all their shows are $30 (including War Horse!).

I can understand a group wanting to help out students; I do not understand a blatantly ageist program that penalizes those not in a target age group.
Many of the non-profits in the city include something about bringing a young audience into the theatre as part of their mission statement. Programs like this help fulfill their mission.
It's about time. I guess Lincoln Center finally figured out that the median age of their subscribers is 80.
Plus this will encourage younger audiences to start coming to the Lincoln Center space, paving the way for the eventual LCT3 move there.

I;m glad to hear that 35 is considered "young."
Joe- I know this is ruining the snarky attitude you're going for, but 35 is very young compared to the average theatre audience member, especially for a non-profit house where the average age is a few decades higher.
We always cry that theatre is dying, and it isn't, at least the flashy commercial stuff, but the non-profit world has to find a way to get the younger audience in and as Roundabout and MTC have proven the discount group works.
So good. Thanks for this!
I was a bit worried because I am only 20, but it appears to accept any birthdate from 1990, even if you're not technically 21.

Yes! Awesome. Thanks for posting.
Seriously? Someone is bashing a theater for taking initiative to LOWER ticket prices?
THANK YOU for this post! Just got my tix for my trip to NYC in July. I really wanted to see the show and this probably saved me nearly $100. WOW! Love this board.
Has anyone tried this? How strict are they about IDs?
I think it's great that they are trying to appeal to a younger audience but there are a large amount of students with no money under the age of 21...
As someone who is over 35, I say, "Thanks!"

They asked to see my ID and looked at the date before giving me my ticket.

Has anyone sat in those 2 first row seats extreme right? (Row B Seats 501 and 502)...if so, thoughts?
Is it 1 one ticket per person or will they let you buy a pair?
Only one ticket per person, but you can buy two tickets if your friend is also 21-35 and has signed up for LincTix. You have the option of inputting other users' ID numbers when ordering tickets.
