Can you go to the box office to purchase Phantom of the Opera tickets on Broadway? Is it cheaper that way? -

The actual ticket prices are the same, whether you buy them in person or through the phone or internet. However, tickets purchased online and by phone are subject to a per ticket service charge of $7.00 and a per order handling fee. Handling fees vary by how your tickets are delivered. The problem with going to the box office is that though you save the service charges, you are quite likely to find out that the performance that you want is sold out, especially if you re looking to buy tickets on short notice. But if you want to go to the box office to buy tickets for say, 6 months from now, (or however far in advance they sell them), then yes, it would be cheaper.You might get lucky if you re willing to settle for a standing-room ticket.Standing Room: There are $26.50 tickets available at the Box Office only, when the performance is sold out. They are sold in advance or same day, if available. There are only 28 standing room positions.You can also try one of the 3 TKTS booths in New York City. TKTS Discount Booths offer tickets to Broadway and Off-Broadway musicals and plays at up to 50% off. The Times Square Booth sells day-of-performance tickets only. The South Street Seaport Booth sells tickets to evening performances on the day of the performance, and matinee tickets the day before. The Downtown Brooklyn Booth sells tickets to evening performances on the day of the performance, and matinee tickets the day before.However, you don t always know which shows they will have same-day tickets for. Try to get to the TKTS booth super-early, and you might get lucky! Then again, it might take you a couple tries to get Phantom tickets, but you will save money that way.All TKTS locations sell tickets at 50%, 40%, 30% and 20% off full-price (plus a $4.00 per ticket service charge, which helps support other TDF services and programs). Availability and ticket inventory change throughout the day and at the discretion of individual productions.
