Attending the Theatre in New York City is a rite of passage for tourists and locals alike. The Broadway League estimated that visitors to the city purchased 14.77 million tickets 2018-2019 (52 weeks). Broadway attendance in the 2018–2019 season topped those of the ten professional New York and New Jersey sports teams combined. Broadway surpassed the combined sports teams by over 4.6 million in attendance. With this level of popularity, attaining the best tickets and transportation to your favorite show can be difficult. Getting to the show late is a risk, especially during the holidays, that you can’t afford. Instead, reserve a professional car and limo service to navigate the theatre district with ease.
Choose an Experienced Car and Limo Service for Your Night at the Theatre
Transportation in midtown is always a hassle during the holiday season. The subways are crowded and highly vulnerable to delays with increased ridership. Ride-sharing services use surge-pricing for hiking fares, while yellow cabs choose the busy routes to maximize ride length. Choose an alternate to these annoying and pricy options by reserving Delux Transportation’s friendly and reliable car service.

Understand your Options for Buying Tickets
Tickets for the hottest shows of the season, including A Christmas Carol, The Rockettes, and The Nutcracker, are in high demand. Unfortunately, it’s almost impossible to attend these must-see performances without shelling out top-dollar. But just like your Black Friday shopping, there are options to save a bit of cash on these tickets.
Are you feeling lucky? Many enthusiastic theatre-goers have tried their hand in lotteries for Broadway tickets. For about $10-25 per show, Lotteries allow you the chance to win highly-sought-after orchestra seats. While the chances are low you will score a discounted ticket; it isn’t impossible to win. Over 21,000 people apply for 21 Hamilton tickets every day.
Other options for heavily discounted tickets include rush and student rush options. According to Playbill, the first Broadway rush promotion occurred with Rent. The box office at Netherlander theatre offered $20 for the first two rows of the center orchestra section on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Broadway’s famous TKTS booths also offer a variety of Broadway and Off-Broadway tickets at substantial discounts. Those interested must brave the cold and long lines, but a 20-50% discount for Holiday shows like A Christmas Carol, The Rockettes, and The Nutcracker are too good to pass up. The savings earned through rush ticketing can also greater afford you a great pre-show dinner and elegant luxury car service.
Finally, ticket wholesalers like TodayTix or third-party resellers like StubHub are good options for discounted tickets if you keep a close eye out.
Consider Quality Off-Broadway Productions
The formal definition of an off-Broadway production is one housed in theatres with seating capacities between 100 and 499. But that definition doesn’t do justice to the role iconic off-Broadway productions have in New York’s culture. Plays and musicals like Little Shop of Horrors, Grease, and Dear Evan Hansen owe their starts to Off-Broadway theatres before they moved to Broadway productions. And its cultural significance isn’t just historical. Theatrical mainstays like Rock of Ages, Fiddler on the Roof, and Blue Man Group are playing now. They are just a short ride away via a car and limo service. The sheer number of off-Broadway venues also allows for more affordable ticket options.
Off-Broadway theatres are also downtown, should you desire a break from the crowds in the theatre district. The Public Theatre, St. Ann’s Warehouse, and Minetta Lane Theatre are just three of the iconic off-Broadway venues. Traveling downtown also opens a variety of pre-theatre dinner options as a further escape. While the theatre district may offer a better atmosphere, we encourage you to reserve a stretch limo service to explore many of the tremendously good shows off-Broadway has to offer.
