Customer Story

Now I know what you're thinking. Didn't he just post his weekly customer story already? Yes I did. However I have decided to change my weekly customer story to a daily one. At least for now anyway. I mean out of all the customers that I talk to on a semi-daily basis there has to be a least one interesting story right? So here we go.

I arrived this morning at my usual time of 9:00am ready to start my day. Like most days it is slow in the morning and then picks up around 11 or 12pm. I received a call from a customer who was looking to come into the city this weekend and wanted to take his wife to a Broadway show. His first and only choice was The Lion King. Now believe it or not while the show has been around for almost fifteen years the show still sells out. Especially on the weekends.

So I checked for him and they had seats in the Orchestra but they were on the side in the back. I told him that if he sat upstairs he not only would probably get better seats but have a better view as he would be looking straight down on top of the stage. Although he had never sat upstairs before he trusted that I knew what I was talking about and decided to order the tickets for him and his wife. I told him I wouldn't let him down and thanked him for his business. By the way I got him great seats on the center aisle. Another satisfied customer.Will you be next?

Jeresy Boys-My Favorite Show On Broadway

When Jersey Boys was first announced back in the Summer of 2005 I'll be the first to admit that I wasn't too excited. I mean the last thing we needed was another jukebox musical on Broadway right? Sure Mamma Mia is a hit but that is the exception. Since then over a half a dozen have come and gone so there was no guarantee that Jersey Boys would do any better. No matter how good the music was. Well the rest is history. Not only did the show exceed everyone's expectations but it won the Tony Award for Best Musical and continues to break box office records on Broadway, London, and every venue in between. Jersey Boys is a hit with no end in sight.

By the way. I loved the show. Not only was the music even better than I could have ever imagined but the story was fascinating and inspirational at the same time. Being a writer myself I often wonder how much longer am I going to have to struggle to achieve my dreams. Haven't I paid my dues already? Compared to the things that these four guys from New Jersey had to go thru to make it I haven't even scratched the surface. I guess I have a little more ways to go. Either way if I can achieve even half of their success I will consider myself lucky. Now enough about me. See the show. You will have the best time.I sure did. Until next time theatre fans.

Now Is The Best Time To Come To New York And See A Show

Looking for something to do during your visit to the Big Apple? Well of course you want to see a show right? How does a big Broadway musical sound to you? Or maybe you want tickets to see reigning Super Bowl champs the New York Giants or my favorite team the New York Knicks. Just because the title of my blog says "See A Show" doesn't mean you can't see anything else. We do offer other things besides theatre you know. Not only do we sell tickets to all events in the New York City area but we sell most of them for below face value. That means that you can get tickets for some of your favorites for less than ever before. Who doesn't love a bargain? I know I sure do. Oh sure you may not be able to see Wicked or The Book of Mormon for those kind of prices but there are other shows out there you know. Don't forget Off-Broadway. Believe it or not but Off-Broadway has been a major force on the New York theatre scene for fifty or more years. Where else could you see something as unique like Blue Man Group or Stomp but Off-Broadway. Yes I know both shows have been playing at theaters around the world for years but you know what I mean. The thing is whether it's uptown or downtown there is always something to see. That's what makes New York City great.There truly is something for everybody. LIVE THEATRE. There is nothing like it.

Theatre In New York


Today as I was walking to work as I found myself taking my time as I made my way thru Times Square to my office on 43rd Street and 8th Avenue. My office like many ticket brokers is in the theater district. In fact I am only a steps away from some of Broadway's most oldest and well known theatres. As I made my way up Broadway I stopped at the Wintergarden Theatre (Mamma Mia) where I noticed a sign that was hanging from the marquee. It read, "The Best Time On Broadway". Now since I have never seen the show I really can't agree or disagree with that statement. Let's face it. A show doesn't run for over eleven plus years  if people aren't enjoying it. Having lived here for the better part of two decades I can pick ten to fifteen other shows that I would pick as the "The Best Time On Broadway". The thing is it doesn't really matter what I think. I usually see the shows for free. That's one of the perks of working in this business. What matter's is that we all continue to support the theatre. Now whether that's here in New York or at some small theatre in your hometown it doesn't really matter. Until next time theatre fans.

Customer Story

This week's customer comes from the great state of Maine. Woolwich to be exact. Don't feel bad. I haven't heard of it either. Last week I received a call from a travel agent who's client was planning a trip to New York for the Thanksgiving holiday and wanted to see a couple of shows. Care to guess which ones? Well since they were looking for a show the whole family could enjoy they of course picked The Book of Mormon. Wrong! We're talking about little kids here. Not that I'm sure they wouldn't think it's hysterical. It's just not the most appropriate show for the young fold. Anyway the shows they picked were the Radio City Christmas Spectacular and Wicked. Two excellent choices right? Now since they were coming during one of the busiest times they were aware that the tickets would be more than any other time. Luckily for them I was able to find them some good seats for both shows. Not only that but they were lower than they were seeing on other sites. Don't you just love it when that happens? I know I do. Plus I was able to find them a few restaurants to check out while they were here as well. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

To Buy Or Not To Buy From A Ticket Broker

My name is J. and I am a ticket broker. Of course you already knew that didn't you? After all you are on our website because we sell tickets right? Of course you are. Yes I know that we are not the only game in town. We're not the even the only one on our block. The truth is there are hundreds of companies out there who sell tickets. We just happen to be one of many. The question you have to ask yourself is why use a ticket broker? I mean couldn't you just walk up to the theatre yourself? Yes you could. But what if you don't have that luxury? What if you live hundreds of miles away and can't purchase from the theatre. I guess you could always call them. No you can't. Do you know why? Because Broadway theatres don't have public phone numbers. Bet you didn't know that did you? Boy I'm just full of information today aren't I? Now for those of you who don't want to wait until the last minute to buy tickets there are other options. That's right. Buying from a ticket broker like us. It is what we do after all. Now before you decide to use us or any other company for that matter I do recommend doing a little research before you spend your hard earned cash. Money doesn't grow on trees you know. Take your time and find the one that works best for you. We are not going anywhere. Just remember. It's just tickets. But it's your money at the end of the day. Until next time theatre fans.

Customer Story

Two customer stories in three days? Have I really run out of things to blog about? Not quite. I just thought I would tell you about a young lady that I spoke to over the weekend. This past Saturday I received a call from a mother of two who was bringing her family to New York in November and wanted to see two shows while they were here. I asked her what they wanted to see and her top choices were Wicked and The Radio City Christmas Spectacular. Both great choices as far as I'm concerned. After finding out when they would be here I began my search for their tickets. Since they were coming before the Thanksgiving holiday I knew I would be able to get them an excellent rate for the Christmas show. Sure enough I got them seats in the Center Orchestra for a rate that was much lower than even I was expecting. Who knew? One show down. One to go. Next up? Wicked. Luckily for her we had some seats in our inventory which means not only would they be good seats but at the lowest price. Well she loved that. Plus I was able to find her some great but inexpensive restaurants that the whole family could enjoy. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

Customer Story

This week's customer story comes all the way from the great state of Georgia. Augusta to be exact. Last week I received a call from a travel agent who had a client that was coming to New York in November and wanted to see what shows might be available while they were here. Oh I don't know? Only about thirty or forty right? Luckily for me the client had some ideas of her own. She just wondered if I had any suggestions. That's why we are here after all. I asked her what she wanted to see and she said her client defiantly wanted to see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular but was torn between Jersey Boys and The Lion King. Well having seen Jersey Boys myself I knew which one I was going to choose. Now while I may not be the biggest Disney fan in the world I am aware if it's popularity and appeal. A show like that doesn't run all those years for nothing. After a little debate she decided upon Jersey Boys since she was already getting her family friendly fix with the Christmas show. Problem solved. When all was said and done I was able to get her excellent seats in the Front Mezzanine for Jersey Boys and Center Orchestra seats for the Radio City Christmas Spectacular at a reduced rate. Not only that but I was able to suggest some great restaurants for then to check out while they were here. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?
