About the course
What you'll learn
- How the TKTS booth system works in full — the three locations, the hours, the selection process, the discount percentages, and the specific strategy for getting the show you want rather than whatever is left at 7pm
- How the digital lottery system works across the major productions — which shows run daily lotteries, how to enter through the TodayTix app and individual show websites, what the realistic odds are, and how to maximise your chances across multiple entries
- What rush tickets are, which productions offer them, how early you need to arrive for in-person rush, and when digital rush is available — the fastest and cheapest legitimate route to the best seats in the house
- How standing room works at Broadway theatres that offer it — the cost, the physical reality of standing for a full musical, and which productions are genuinely worth two and a half hours on your feet
- What off-Broadway offers that Broadway cannot — the ticket prices, the artistic quality, the specific venues and productions that represent the best value in New York theatre at any budget level
- How to use the Public Theater's free Shakespeare in the Park lottery and physical queue system — the realistic time commitment, the best strategy for each, and what the production quality actually looks like
- What student rush, membership discounts, and group rates offer for visitors who qualify — the specific eligibility requirements and savings that most visitors never investigate
- The one thing that guarantees you will overpay for Broadway — and the single most effective habit that ensures you never do
