Broadway Availablity Ticket - Phantom/Cats/etc

Hi all,


I'm going to NYC at the end of April - does anyone know the availability of
broadway tickets - in particular Phantom of the Opera?

Are tickets for Phantom easy to get at the discount ticket outlets... or
should I pre-buy the tickets?

I'll be in NYC on April 27th - April 30th.

Thanks for any info!

Tickets to Phantom are fairly easy to get. Check broadwaybox.com or
playbill.com for discount tickets. You can use these for advance
purchase or simply bring them to the box office when you arrive in town.

I bought advance discount tickets for Phantom in February.

If you can go to a performance on M-Th, you can get advance discount
tickets without having to wait in line on the day of the show. For
Fri/Sat, you might get lucky at the Times Square or Financial District
ticket booth, but you'll basically spend most of a whole day on this
venture, which isn't a good use of your time. So try to go to the show
on Thursday April 27th, and buy the discount tickets in advance.

So for Phantom, go to broadwayoffers.com and use code "PHHSC45" You can
get tickets for $65 each, plus the junk charges, for a total of around
$145. Actually this site says that only Saturday night is excluded, so
you might be able to get Friday tickets.

I picked up the tickets at will-call a few minutes before the show. Mine
were a little less than $65, but they raised the price in April apparently.

Bring some good binoculars, not the $10 ones.

The mid-week shows probably have more understudies than the weekend shows.
