Lottery tickets start at $30 and rush seats at $23 this week, across Broadway and Off-Broadway. Here is what each draw and rush costs, where to enter and when entries close, re-checked every Wednesday.
Updated Wednesday, October 28. Prices and entry times below were read from each production's live lottery and rush listing on the day of the update. A production can change or pause its policy without notice, so check the listing before you plan around it.
How it works
Lottery: you enter ahead of time for the chance to buy discounted seats. Winners are notified and have one hour to claim. The draws listed here allow up to two tickets per winner.
Rush: a limited number of discounted seats go on sale on the day of the performance, first come, first served. The TodayTix rushes listed here open at 9 a.m. Eastern in the TodayTix app, two tickets per person, and the prices shown include an $8 fee. Some shows ask you to unlock the rush in the app before you can buy.
Standby: seats released close to curtain time at a fixed price.
Lotteries and rushes run by TodayTix are entered in the TodayTix app, not on a web page. Telecharge draws are entered at Rush.Telecharge.com.
