Discount Broadway Tickets for Starving Artists including out of work actors and struggling artists that are with art or cultural institutions
Starving Artists Often Find It Hard To Secure Value Driven Tickets
Given that the top performers and artists can now earn huge sums of money for their work, its easy to forget that the large majority of artists and performers are often broke and living on a tight budget - , while pursuing their passion for the arts - waiting tables, painting houses or taking other menial work while waiting for their "big break"
Out-of-work actors and other creative types can get Starving Artist tickets. Although these discount Broadway tickets were designed for struggling artists, sometimes they can be obtained by anyone who has a few hours to wait on line.
Often Best Seats In The House
Free Broadway tickets (or heavily discounted tickets) are often given out to out-of-work actors, performers, artists and and other creative types in New York City. These people can also get house seats at a considerable discount and are often ushered into standing room only with a nod and a wink. Broadway producers know that by giving tickets to this group of people, they didnt just give away a potential ticket sale as this demographic would not have been able to afford the high cost of a Broadway show ticket in the first place.
Surprisingly, these heavily discounted Broadway tickets are usually the best seats in the house and usually cost about $20! In some cases, there is a "catch" to these seats -- for instance, there have been Broadway shows where the audience members were likely to get wet during the performance (usually the Broadway show supplies rainwear or clean-up gear, though).
Special Tickets Distributed Through Cultural Institutions
Although these discount Broadway tickets were initially designed for struggling Broadway performers (and anyone associated with the Broadway industry) they can also be obtained by anyone who has a few hours to go through the motions. Surprisingly, these heavily discounted Broadway tickets are often the best seats in the house and usually cost about $20! Although rare, there can be a "catch" to these seats -- for instance, there have been Broadway shows where the seats were likely to get wet during the performance (usually the Broadway show supplies rainwear or clean-up gear, though) and in other situations the theatre may just be using the person as a fill in (If the show is being taped for example)
Starving Artist tickets are often distributed through art and cultural institutions. But you may have to register ahead of time (most likely through a website) in order to qualify for these discount tickets. The Theatre and Drama departments of colleges and universities also frequently hand out show tickets that have been significantly discounted so that students and starving artists can afford them. If you are currently attending a university, check bulletin boards or ask the administrative staff to see if they have these types of ticket discounts. These tickets may be heavily discounted
Frequently Available For Concerts and Events
The Starving Artist discount tickets are more frequently available for benefit concerts and charity events (which often feature Broadway stars), and for some non-Broadway theater events, such as dance and experimental theatre shows.
