Comparison Tickets shopping in London West End

In London the producers split the tickets between several agencies. Prices, seat locations, and availability vary between agencies. Broadwaybox.com provides links to all agencies that sell tickets to a given show to allow users to compare ticket agencies, and choose the best deal.

Why do the producers offer advanced discounts?

Theatre seats are like airline seats, once the doors have closed, empty seats are worth nothing. To recover their huge investments, producers are challenged to sell every seat, at every performance. They do it by distributing discount offers for selected performances where they expect unsold seats. These are usually applicable for the mid-week performances, or when the show has been running for a while. Discounts vary from 25%-50% off and sometimes even more. The seats provided are usually the best available seats in a given category. In addition, if empty seats are still available on the day of the performance, they are offered, at the TKTS booth, at 25% or 50% off. BroadwayBox.com combines the ease of regular advanced
orders with the attractive discounts of the TKTS booth.

The story behind BroadwayBox.com

Broadwaybox.com was created by a group of NY theatre fans to help the city recover from the September 11 disaster. They decided that encouraging people to visit Broadway and Off-Broadway would be their humble contribution. With just word of mouth, Broadwaybox.com became the premier site for New York City theatre tickets. The site was covered by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and all major U.S. newspapers. Over quarter million visits are registered monthly on the site.
