Hi everyone, I’m trying to get to DC for the Chess concert and will probably end up purchasing a ticket for the final performance on Sunday night. However, with fees the cheapest ticket comes to $90. While I don’t mind sitting in the balcony, that’s a hefty price tag for this student.

Does anyone have knowledge of a discount code? Or a deal for student tickets? Any other options? I don’t live in DC, so I would like to buy a ticket now with my flight.

Thanks so much!

I attend the Kennedy Center regularly and am on their site quite often. I've noticed they have a program titled "My Tix" for those theatre goers between the ages of 18 and 30. It's also available to veterans.The link for that page is below. When you get to that page hit the CURRENT OFFERS tab under the red MY TIX emblem which is a few inches down. It appears tickets go fast but as a member they will apparently send you an email for each particular upcoming event with a specially priced offer. And it looks like they wait close to the event date because for CHESS they advertise "Coming Up" at the bottom of the page. But I'd call the theatre to see if they think you'd be better buying a guaranteed balcony seat now since they're selling extremely fast or what chances would you have on the My Tix program. Who knows?Wouldn't it be great if they put aside a small amount of tickets for each event as part of the program? I'd ask them how it works. I've always had pleasant and helpful interactions with their personal and staff. Good luck to you. Center phone numbers:  [phone]. Toll free: [phone].
