Cheap Tickets For Almost Anything

Looking for tickets for a Broadway Show? A concert? Or a vacation to the Bahamas? Let your fingers do the surfing for you. You can find bargain tickets for almost anything you can imagine. There are plenty of places to check from online auctions to websites that specialize in bargain ticketing. eBay offers tickets for everything from the Super Bowl to the Kentucky Derby and everything in between. The most important things to make sure of when you begin putting in bids on any online auction site is know what you’re bidding for and how much it would sell for normally. If you don’t do your homework ahead of time, you could end up paying more than an item is worth. Decide ahead of time what the maximum is you will pay, and set that as your maximum bid. If you don’t win the first time, chances are you can find a similar item and try again. If you’re uncomfortable with the uncertainty of an online auction, then there are also plenty of bargain ticket sites from which to choose, both for travel and other types of tickets. Here’s just a sampling of some of the sites you can check for travel bargains, from flights, to hotels, to cruises: • Orbitz • Priceline • CheapTickets • LowestFare • Hotwire • Expedia • Travelocity If you’re in the market for airline tickets, don’t forget the airline itself. Many airlines offer last minute discounted tickets on their own websites, as well as deals for travelers who are able to book well in advance. In addition, airlines periodically offer “sales” on flights to some locations. If you’re looking for tickets to a concert or sporting event, there are bargain ticket sellers online as well. The thing to remember in many cases with event tickets, is online ticket brokers will never be less expensive than the original ticketing company, such as Ticketmaster. There are some brokers, such as 1-800-Bestseats that offer a lowest price guarantee. If you find comparable tickets on another site for a lower price, they will match

that price, plus give you a discount on your next purchase. If you’re willing to stand in line, you can find discounts on Broadway show tickets as well. The non-profit Theatre Development Fund operates it a TKTS booth. There is a TKTS booth in Duffy Square, right in the theatre district. You can buy tickets for the same day only. No advance sales, and you must pay cash. No credit cards accepted. Tickets for matinees sell from noon to around 2 pm; evening performances sell from 3 pm to just before curtain time around 8 pm. You probably won’t get a ticket to a hot show or a new show, and you won’t get the best seats in the house. What you will get is a discount that ranges from 25% to 50%.
