I'm thinking of bringing a group to NYC for some shows - what is a ball park figure for group seats? -

Thanks -

It depends on a lot of things:

-- How well a show is currently selling...the better show is selling the smaller the discount. Some don't offer any group discounts.

-- How many folks you are buying tickets for. A group of 20 is going to get a smaller discount than a group of 100.

-- Where you are willing to sit.

You might be able to get group tickets for $50 or so if you choose and Off-Bwy show like THE FANTASTICKS or ALTAR BOYZ.

Also, the earlier you book your group, the better the discount in many cases.

It definitely depends on the show, as well as the time of year - there are often extra special group rates for winter and fall, as well as preview periods of new shows. Student Groups also can get extra deep discounts - Wicked has Mezz seats for $41.25 and Chicago has Mezz seats for $28.75, among others. The Disney shows also do tons of group specials.

Check out the Givenik.com site - group rates for virtually all shows are there, plus Student and Senior specials, and 5% of the cost goes to a charity you choose.
