Jersey Boys tickets in NYC

[thetimeshareguy]

We're going to be in NYC next week Thursday thru Sunday and want to see Jersey Boys.

Our schedule is totally flexible. Can anyone provide tips about the cheapest way to see the show (but still get decent seats)? Do you buy rush seats at the theatre or what? We could go Thursday, Friday or Saturday.

It's very difficult to get discounted tickets to Jersey Boys. We went into the city a few weeks ago and would have liked to see JB but not at the regular prices. Even at regular prices, it's often hard to get good seats.

I see you are from Ontario. I just bought Jersey Boys tickets for the Elgin Theater in Toronto. I paid about $60 CND each for orchestra seats about 2/3 back (but center). If you are not far from Toronto, see the play there and do other fun stuff in NYC>
Good luck.

We saw it earlier in the spring. It was a great show and a great theater. There really are no bad seats in there. I doubt you will find any discount tickets. If you are staying in a hotel they can usually get you tickets.

Actually, the last few rows (Row W or so and back) in the orchestra are partially obstructed, as you cannot see part of the screens and the actors on the scaffolding. They used to sell these tickets as $25 student rush tickets, but now sell them as regularly priced seats.

I don't think you'll find many discounts for Jersey Boys on Broadway from a legitimate sources. Be wary, as there are lots of counterfeit tickets and scamsters for this show and shows like Wicked.

The best discount I can get for shows like Jersey Boys that consistently sells out is to either get Standing Room Only tickets for $25 (talk to the box office to find out when they offer these). Or to get $250 premium seats for regular price. Typically shows hold a few rows as $250 premium seats then dump them as regularly priced seats a few hours or days before the show (ever been to a show where Row F is half empty?). A friendly box office attendant might tip you off when they will drop the price.

I took my wife into the city (90 minute drive) for a surprise weekend. We had the best time so close to home. Seeing the Jersey Boys was unbelievable. Now she keeps asking to go back and do it again. Spend the money and enjoy a great memory.

Saw Jersey Boys on Broadway and twice in San Francisco (different troups). Absolutely the finest production I have ever seen. Went to see Frankie Valli on Long Island. A great show. If you get to see Jersey Boys anywhere or Frankie Valli, it is well worth the money. We had discounted seats in SF ($25) and the show just blew my friends away. (highlight of our trip).

Just saw several tickets for sale on ebay.
