Perks of Broadway Shows!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Pace chapter.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to see ON YOUR FEET! on Broadway through their ticket lottery. This is the second time I have had the chance to see it and the show was just as amazing as the first! Going to Broadway shows is truly magical and I would not have the opportunity to see half of the shows I have without being a student in New York City! There are several ways to see these amazing shows at a discount…if you just look hard enough.

TKTS BOOTH:

This is heaven sent. At this booth, you can purchase tickets for shows for up to 50% off. This is both a quick way to buy tickets at a discounted price and feel the excitement of Broadway, without the pain in your pockets! The closest booth to Pace University is located at South Street Seaport on 190 Front Street. Other booths are located in Times Square and Brooklyn.

 

PACE UNIVERSITY STUDENT DISCOUNTS:

This is easily the BEST perk of all! As a student, you have the opportunity to buy Broadway tickets through Pace at a discounted price. All you need to do is look out for them by checking your email and billboards or simply hear it through the grape vine. Anything for the discount!

 

ONLINE/IN- PERSON LOTTERY:

This is a great option if you decide to see a show last minute and happen to have amazing luck! Fortunately for me, I was able to score tickets through the lottery out of sheer luck. The lottery can be online, depending on the show, or in-person at the box office.

 

RUSH:

You can also access discounted tickets by stopping at the box office right when they open… this is a first come, first serve policy! Another student plus is that some shows have “Student Rush” so make sure to bring Student ID.

 

Try these tips the next time you’re searching for tickets to a show. Time to get “ON YOUR FEET” and explore the magic that is Broadway!

 

Hello! I am a Senior Communications Major with a minor in Arts and Entertainment Management. Some fun facts about me are that I have a twin sister, my favorite place to vacation is Puerto Rico, and I am obsessed with Justin Timberlake!
Hey guys, my name is Cas. I am a Senior at Pace Univeristy on the NYC campus. I am currently working on a dual degree in Communications and Fine Arts. I've been working with some friends of mine to start up our own creative platform called FUNKNVIBE. It's basically a way for artists, musicians, film makers and any creative minds to collaborate and create. When I'm not volunteering or with my FNV family I'm reading, dancing or working on my latest art piece. I hope to own and design my own publication showcasing the culture around me. I have a personal blog as well as my Her Campus page. I recently started up a blog with FunknVibe so definitely check it out!  I started out as the secretary at for HCPace but moved my way to VP and CC to now President. I love being able to give students on my campus a voice and connect new students to some type of a community. Her Campus has allowed me to organize myself better and find out what goes into running an organization. It's been an absolute joy and I hope for my last year we have one of the best!
