With that in mind, I‘d like to check out a show or 2, during that time, since I work in midtown.
So, I looked at a few shows for the final week of January, just for the heck of it. I noticed 2 things: prices seemed to be the same that they’vealways been & shows seemed only20-30% sold.
Since it’ssuch a slow season, is there a chance ticket prices could drop as we get closer? Is there, actually,a chance that the majority of the(many) unsoldseatswill, ultimately, selleven though its January? (I assume they don’t want too many open seats.)
Anytips?
As always....thanks for the info/guidance."
Base prices will remain largely stable except for the shows that heavily use the dynamic pricing model (hadestown, harry potter etc).
There will be discount codes trickling out for shows (check the discount code thread) and telecharge offers.
To do broadway on the cheap requires patience, flexibility and persistence. If you want to be a planner and get tickets ahead of time, you are probably looking at a ~25% discount through offer codes of the non marquee shows (Hamilton, hadestown, moulin rouge).
But day of, you will get more shows and higher discounts than normal on TKTS, less people entering the digital lotteries, some attractive day of prices on the secondary market etc. You may even be able to go late to the box office and negotiate/get a rush ticket price close to showtime.
If you have some targeted shows you want to see that would be helpful in steering you in the right direction.
