Cancelled Broadway Tickets Are Tickets That Were Refunded For A Variety Of Reasons And Suddenly Become Available For Sale On The Day Of The Performance
Cancelled Broadway Tickets
Broadway tickets aren't typically refundable, so how do cancelled tickets suddenly appear for sale online and at the box office, often on the day of the show?
Tickets are typically refunded for the following reasons and are put back onto the market:
- Group tickets that did not pay their final invoice
- Ticket broker tickets who did a mass purchase by illegally gaming the system and then the official ticket seller discovering the scam, cancelling the tickets and then dropping the tickets back on the market for normal ticket buyers
- Credit card companies that refused to pay for the transaction due to credit card theft
- Ticket insurance had been take out by ticket buyers and the buyers were unable to get to the show, made a claim on insurance, and now the tickets are available for sale again
This means that cancelled Broadway tickets will suddenly appear back on the ticket market, often on the day of the show online or at the box office.
Where Is The Best Place To Get Cancelled Tickets?
Although they do appear online, the Broadway box office is the often the best place to buy cancelled tickets - as many of the tickets are cancelled or returned so close to the show time that there does not leave enough time to put them back on the regular ticket sales mechanisms.
