TodayTix Pricing

I was just looking at two tickets to GREAT GATSBY in March on TodayTix. The seats in the chart were marked with the special ticket symbol indicating they were a special TodayTix discount. Indeed, when I clicked on the pair of seats it showed each was regularly priced $165 but were being discounted to $103. Looks like a great deal.

Then I pulled up the Telecharge seating chart and found those exact seats were marked as $104 through the regular ticketing platform. So the TodayTix "special" price was really nothing special.

Are these TodayTix discounts always deceptive, making one think they are getting a great ticket offer that in actuality matches regular prices?

How do you all use TodayTix (if at all)?

TodayTix was once a great platform for finding good deals. Not so much anymore. It’s been doing things like that for years, not to mention their fees. It’s essentially a broker platform at this point- you can get tickets for in demand shows, at a price. They are just buying tickets using available discounts on your behalf and collecting fees to do so.


And their customer service is pretty atrocious- I got tickets through them for a performance that was canceled due to COVID during that first winter after Broadway reopened when shows were being canceled left and right. They made getting a refund unnecessarily drawn out and difficult, even under those circumstances.

I've used TodayTix occasionally and gotten an okay deal on tickets, but those purchases were few and far between. I have more luck using discount codes on the official ticketing platforms for the shows I want to see.

Yes, TodayTix is really only helpful in seeing what shows are having sales in one place, vs. the individual theater owners' official sites, especially since they tend to make it more obvious. And if you see a sale on TodayTix, then you should check the direct site to compare.

TodayTix was having a Black Friday sale for mezz seats to Maybe Happy Ending for $77. Checked Telecharge and the same seats were $79. So technically it would have been a deal...but Telecharge's total included a $15 online fee, so I just went to the box office and got the same seats for $64. I wouldn't have thought to check Telecharge for that date and seat if TodayTix hadn't made a big deal about their sale, so it was helpful in that respect.

I actually quite enjoy using TodayTix, but I agree that the pricing is usually the same as what’s reflected on Telecharge/SeatGeek - sometimes even a dollar or two more.

I have reached status as a “gold member” - I’ve achieved it by buying tickets at least 12 times on their service. As such, I receive an additional 10% discount, accrue ticket credit, and get occasional surprise upgrades to a higher seating tier. For only $1/ticket, I can also cancel my tickets up to 24 hours in advance for a credit - no questions asked.


I purchased Sunset Blvd tickets for January and it was later announced that Nicole would be out - TodayTix offered a full refund to original form of payment OR a 110% refund as a TodayTix credit. So, I think you can really make it work to your benefit if you stick with it and utilize the benefits, but it isn’t as straightforward as a discounted ticket service anymore.

Anyone know why they are only selling tickets up to Jun 14 for seemingly every show in NYC? I feel like I missed some announcement for the reason.

This sounds like a glitch on your phone. I just checked about 10 random shows and they’re all on sale past June 14th."

Thank you. I cleared my cache on two browsers, but will give it a shot from a laptop.
