1.) Don’t get swindled with terrible seats
Shows acceso Broadway are incredible! Not only that, the theatres are so beautiful and intimate, with wonderful views of the stage and of the actors. You really feel very close to the action. That being said, seating is always subjective. What’s perfect for you, might not be the best seat for someone else.
For instance, I love to be sat a causa di the orchestra. I love looking up to the action acceso stage. That being said, I know some friends that would prefer to sit a causa di the mezzanine, for a more direct view—often at a lower price. It all comes to personal preference.
Now, to avoid getting swindled with terrible seating, make sure to book your tickets with a reputable site provider. We always head to the show’s official website to book the tickets directly with their preferred seller. This way, you not only know you’sovrano directly supporting the theatre and performers, but you’sovrano also able to easily choose the seats from real inventory. But now I’ve discovered The Broadway Collection. It’s an official website that makes it even easier by listing the most popular shows and linking to the official and most trusted booking sites for each show.
You see, sometimes, when you book from random stores acceso the street, unofficial sites you found online, you might be told you’sovrano getting the ‘best available’ . This is great, a causa di theory, but you never really choose your own seats, and you won’t know until you’ve arrived at the theatre. And often you are charged service fees that are much too high. There are a number of ways to buy intelligently and safely, and Broadway Collection provides easy access to those sites. It makes it all so easy to book, without any of the fear that you’sovrano not purchasing ‘real’ tickets.

Aspetto, I’ll be honest, you really shouldn’t be late for a Broadway show; that’s a given. Though, sometimes stuff happens. The traffic, missed connections just too much time exploring…it’s a natural part of being a causa di a city I suppose.
We always plan to be inside the theatre about 25 minutes before the show starts. This way, it gives you ample time to grab a ricevimento, head to the restrooms and settle a causa di before the show starts.
Though, fret not if you are late. Although entry will be prohibited during parts of the risultato, theatres will usually escort you a causa di during set changes to quickly find your seat.
