Broadway, Off-Broadway, and live events in NYC. Same-day Rush tickets and Lottery on TodayTix

Seeing a Broadway show doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Whether you’re a lifelong theater fan or planning your first trip to the Great White Way, there are several reliable ways to score cheap Broadway tickets — often for $25–$55 — if you know where to look.

**Rush tickets** are one of the best-kept secrets on Broadway. A limited number of in-person rush tickets go on sale at the box office when it opens each morning — usually for the day’s performances only. Prices typically run $30–$49, with a limit of two tickets per person. Some shows get busy early, so plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before the box office opens, especially for popular productions. Seat locations vary by show.

**Digital rush tickets** work the same way but skip the line. On most shows, digital rush opens at 11am on the day of performance through platforms like TodayTix or TeleCharge. Check our listings below for each show’s exact details, since times and availability vary.

**Broadway lotteries** are another fan favorite. Most lotteries open anywhere from one day to a few days before the performance, and winners are notified by email or app notification. Hamilton runs its own lottery every Friday through the Hamilton app — and famously offers tickets for just $10. Other shows run lotteries through TodayTix, TeleCharge, or LuckySeat. Entering is free; you just need to create an account.

**Under-35 programs and student rush** are worth knowing about too. Several Broadway theaters — including Roundabout Theatre Company (HipTix), Manhattan Theatre Club (MTC35), and 2nd Stage — offer deeply discounted tickets to younger audiences and students year-round. We’ve rounded these up on our discount programs page.

A few tips before you dive in:

– Check our table below often — ticket info changes frequently as shows open, close, and adjust their programs.
– Bring both cash and a card; box offices vary on what they accept for rush tickets.
– For sold-out shows, look for standing room only (SRO) tickets, listed where available.

Updated regularly. Every show on Broadway with a rush, lottery, or discount program is listed below.
