One-Stop Shopping for Broadway Tickets

Share

Visitors to New York City now have one-stop shopping for advance as well as same-day tickets to Broadway and off-Broadway shows.

The Broadway Ticket Center, at the new Times Square Visitors Center on the east side of Broadway between 46th and 47th streets, is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. It has descriptions and video excerpts from shows and theater location maps, as well as a sales office that currently handles all Broadway shows (except “The Lion King”), plus six off-Broadway shows. Tickets are generally full price, plus a $4.50 handling charge per ticket.

The League of American Theatres and Producers, which operates the ticket center, also runs a toll-free sales and information service called The Broadway Line, tel. (888) 411-BWAY. Besides shows in New York, it added listings earlier this month for touring Broadway shows in 50 cities.
