Customer Story

Today's customer story comes all the way from the Lone Star State. Believe it or not but this is my third customer story from Texas in the past twelve days. What can I say? I guess Texans just love New York City. Well that and Broadway. Anyway last week I received a call from one of our regular travel agents who's client was planning a trip to New York next month and wanted to see a couple of shows while they were here. The only problem was they were only going to be here for one day which means they had to see two shows within twenty-four hours. Now don't get me wrong. I love going to the theatre. But two shows in one day? I don't think even I could do that. So anyway the two shows the wanted to see were The Lion King and The Radio City Christmas Spectacular.

Two very popular shows during the holiday season. So know that I knew what they wanted to see I set out to find the best deal for both shows. Now because they were going three days before Christmas they knew that prices for both shows would probably be higher than other times. That is true. However since they were able to go to an earlier show for Radio City I was able to get a reduced rate. Oh sure they had to go at 9am in the morning but a bargain is a bargain. Plus they had the whole day free to do other things. One show down. One to go. Even though they were going on a Saturday night I was still able to find some excellent seats in the Front Mezzanine. Not only that but a price that was lower than they were expecting. So there you have it folks. Two great shows at two amazing prices. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

The Holidays Are Here

Still recovering from all that turkey you ate on Thanksgiving? Well get ready because Christmas is here folks. Yes I know we still have four more weeks but trust me. It will be here before you know it. In fact four days from now is the annual tree lighting ceremony at Rockefeller Center.See I told you Christmas was just around the corner.Now as we all know the holidays can be a stressful time. Not too mention expensive. The thing is is doesn't have to be. Believe it or not but the cost of a Broadway ticket isn't as much as you might think. Oh sure if you are the type of person that has to sit in the "First Ten Rows Center" then you better be prepared to pay up. However if you are like me and you don't care where you sit then you have come to the right place my friends.Right now there are over twenty-five shows both on and Off-Broadway that you can see for......wait for it.....below cost. Let me guess. You think I've lost my mind right?  Now in case your show isn't listed there it doesn't mean it''s not available. It just means that it will cost you a little more to see it. The choice is yours. Live theatre. There is nothing like it. Until next time theatre lovers.

Customer Story

Today's customer story comes all the way from Marblehead, Massachusets. Earlier this week I received a phone call from one of our regular travel agents who's client was planning a trip for his family to New York in December and wanted to see a couple of shows. Their choices were The Radio City Christmas Spectacular and The Book of Mormon. Now while Radio City is very family friendly I would have to disagree about Mormon. Well as it turns out his two kids were both in college so it looks like it wasn't going to be that big a deal after all. Now because they were coming during the middle of the week I told them that we should be able to get not only better seats but a lower rate as well. When all was said and done I was able to get them excellent seats in the Center Orchestra for less then even I was expecting.One show down. One to go. As everybody knows The Book of Mormon is the hottest show on Broadway since Wicked. Don't worry Wicked fans. It's still one of Broadway's most popular not too mention highest grossing shows in Broadway history. Anyway after a little checking I was able to find some seats in Row L of the Orchestra on the side. Yes side seats are still just as good and a full view. Plus the tickets were lower than they had seen on other websites. So there you have it folks. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

Customer Story

Today's customer story comes all the way from Columbus, Georgia. So anyway yesterday I got a call from a travel agent who had a client that was planning a trip to New York next month and wanted to inquire about tickets for a Broadway show. I take that back. They wanted to see three shows. Two on Broadway and one just east of Broadway. Care to guess which one? No it's not Avenue Q. Although that would be a great choice in my opinion. What can I say? I love that show. Why it's none other than the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. Which by the way is celebrating it's eighty-fifth year at Radio City Music Hall.

Now because they chose to see the show on a weekday performance the tickets were a lot cheaper than if they would have went on a Friday or Saturday. In fact I was able to get them Center Orchestra seats for less than they were expecting. One show down. Two to go. Next up was Evita. Once again because they went on a weekday evening I was able to get them great seats in the Orchestra for below our normal retail rate. Last but not least is the new Gershwin musical Nice Work If You Can Get It starring Matthew Broderick and Kelli O'Hara. Guess what? That's right. Great seats once again for less . So there you have it folks. Three great shows at some amazing prices. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

The Book of Mormon and Applause

Still haven't seen Broadway's hottest show? Well there is no better time than right now. The Book of Mormon, winner of the 2011 Tony Award for Best Musical of the Year, continues to play to sold out audiences eight times a week at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre. Believe it or not but I have yet to see the show. Because we work in the theatre industry we pretty much get invited to all the new shows. That way when people ask our opinion we can give them an honest answer about what we thought of it. Now wouldn't you know it but the one night we get invited I couldn't go. Oh well. Maybe they will invite us again when the show starts to slow down. I've already waited nineteen months so what's another three or four years right? Exactly. Now for those of you who still haven't seen the show there are tickets available believe it or not. In fact we here at Applause have tickets for all performances thru November 10, 2013. Not only that but at prices for most that are lower than you will find anywhere else. Get your tickets to see The Book of Mormon on Broadway. You will love it. Until next time theatre fans.

Customer Story

Today's customer story comes all the way from the great state of Texas. League City to be exact. Don't feel bad. I haven't heard of it either. This past Saturday I received a call from a very nice woman who called us based on a recommendation from her travel agent. See? That's why we love travel agents. Anyway she called because she was planning a trip to New York in a few days and wanted to see if she could get some last minute tickets to see Wicked for her and her eleven year old daughter. Because it was the day before Thanksgiving she knew it might be a little tough not to mention more expensive then any other time of the year. Luckily we had some seats in our inventory that were not only good seats but less then she had seen anywhere else. Plus I was able to find a great restaurant in Midtown for Thanksgiving dinner. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

Customer Story

Today's customer story comes all the way from the Sunshine state. That's right. I am talking about the great state of Florida. Sarasota to be exact. This past Friday I received a call from a travel agent who's clinet was planning a trip to London next month and wanted to see a couple of shows while they were there. Now believe it or not but we have been getting a lot of calls for London as of late. I guess it must be the busy season over there. I'm not complaining. At least the phone is ringing. Anyway after finding out when they would be there I asked what they wanted to see. Their choices were Wicked and The Phantom of the Opera. Two long running shows but still very popular. Plus because they were going on a weekday I was able to not only get them better seats but also at a lower rate. Well thay loved that. In fact they loved it so much that they decided to see another show. So there you have it folks. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

Also on November 20 it will play it's 2,500 performance and on November 23 it will surpass The Producers to become the 23rd longest-running show in Broadway history. Now for those of you who read my blogs know that I'm not the biggest Disney fan in the world. That being said the movie was a favorite of mine as a child and the show believe it or not is one of the best shows that I have ever seen. Who would have thought? By the way for those of you who still haven't seen the show there is no better time than right now. Good seats are now available for every performance. Not only that but at prices that can't be beat. Now while this "Insider Price" is good thur January 6, 2013 it is not good from December 26-31 and is subject to availability. Get your tickets to see Mary Poppins on Broadway. You will love it.

Customer Story

Today's customer story comes all the way from Lincoln, Nebraska. Two days ago I received a call from a new customer who found us by doing a google search for inexpensive Broadway tickets. The power of the Internet never ceases to amaze me. So anyway after finding out when she was going to be here I asked her what she wanted to see. Because she was only going to be here for a couple of days she only had a small window in which to see her shows. Plus she wanted to go on Thanksgiving which very few shows actually play on. Luckily for her the two shows that she picked did. The Phantom of the Opera and the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. Oh did I mention that she wanted to see both on the same day? Luckily I was able to find excellent seats in the Front Mezzanine for Phantom and Center Orchestra for Radio City. Plus I was able to get them reservations for a great place to eat on Thanksgiving Day between shows. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

Customer Story

Today's customer story comes all the way from Huntington, West Virginia. This past Tuesday I received a call from a travel agent who's client was planning a trip to New York next month and wanted to see a few shows while they were here. The shows they wanted to see were Jersey Boys, The Lion King, and The Radio City Christmas Spectacular. Now out of all of those the only one that I have seen is Jersey Boys. Which by the way is one of my favorites. Anyway now that I knew what they wanted to see I needed to find out when they wanted to go and where that wanted to sit. Well as it turns out five of them wanted to see The Lion King and three wanted to see Jersey Boys. Plus they all wanted to go on the same date. When all was said and done I was able to get excellent center Orchestra seats for The Lion King and Front Mezzanine seats on the aisle for Jersey Boys. Two shows down. One to go. For the Christmas Spectacular I was able to get nine seats together in the First Mezzanine in the center. Now I know what you're thinking. Where did that extra person come from right? Well as it turns out the extra person didn't want to see the other two shows. What nerve. It's o.k. I wouldn't want to see The Lion King either. What? Maybe they saw Jersey Boys already. That's what I'm going with anyway. So there you have it folks. Three great shows and not only that but great seats to boot. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

Customer Story

Today’s customer story comes all the way from the Lone Star State. Yes my friends I am talking about Texas. Houston to be exact. Earlier today I received a call from a customer who had used us last year for the first time and was so pleased with our service that she decided to use us again. Don’t you just love customers like that? I know I do. Anyway this time she and her husband were coming to New York with another couple and wanted to see two shows while they were here. Their two choices were Dead Accounts and Golden Boy.  Two shows that I am dying to see by the way. Now because both shows were still in previews I knew that I knew that not only would I be able to get them excellent seats but for below cost. Well she loved that. When all was said and done I was able to get them excellent seats for both shows. Plus I was able to find them some excellent restaurants to check out as well. Another satisfied customer.

What To See In New York This Holiday Season

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is just nine days away? Where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday that we were celebrating the 4th of July and now here we are with the holidays upon us. Luckily there are plenty of great shows to see in the coming weeks. Now normallly during the holidays there is only one Christmas themed show. That being of course the world famous Radio City Christmas Spectacular. Which by the way is celebrating it's eighty-fifth year at Radio City Music Hall. Joining this holiday classic are Elf, A Christmas Story, and How The Grinch Stole Christmas. While both the Grinch and Elf have played here before this will mark the Broadway debut for A Christmas Story. Growing up as a chid the movie was a personal favorite of mine. As a matter of a fact I actully saw it in the theatre when it first opened back in November 1983. Now while the movie was not a hit when it first opened it has since gained cult status and has become a holiday favorite. I for one hope the show is a big success and will return again in the coming seasons. Fingers crossed. So there you have it folks. Four great shows to check out this holiday season. Which one will you see? Until next time theatre fans.

Customer Story

Today’s customer story comes all the way from Washington. And no I’m not talking about the home of our recently re-elected President. I’m talking about Washington State. Home to the Seattle Mariners and the birthplace of Starbuck’s Coffee. Anyway late last week I got a call from a travel agent who needed show tickets for a client who was planning a trip to New York at the end of the year. Their choices were Wicked, Chicago, and The Phantom of theOpera. All long running shows  but still very popular. Now since they were coming around the holidays they knew it would be a little more expensive than usual. They were right. However not as expensive as you might think. Plus they wanted five tickets for each show. For Chicago and Phantom I was able to secure them excellent seats in the Center Front Mezzanine. Now for Wicked all they had was side Orchestra in the Rear. Which by the way is a full view. So there you have it folks. Three greats shows at some amazing prices. Not only that but she called the next day and they ordered another show as well. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

Customer Story

Today’s customer story comes all the way from the Sunshine State. Yes I am talking about the great state of Florida. Belleair Bluffs to be exact. This past Thursday I received a call from a travel agent who received our recent postcard in the mail and wanted to sign up her agency as well as inquire about theatre tickets for her client. After taking all her info I asked what her client wanted to see and when. Her choices were Spider-Man:Turn OffThe Dark and The Lion King. Two shows that believe it or not I have not seen. I take that back. I did see the first act of both shows. Does that count? I’m guessing not. Anyway because she was coming the week before Thanksgiving I knew there would probably be more availability as well as lower prices. Sure enough I was able to get very good seats for Spider-Man at a reduced rate. Now while The Lion King was a little more it was much less than if she had went a week later during the holiday. Plus she got some excellent seats on the center aisle in the Orchestra. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

Annie Is A Hit

That’s right theatre fans. Annie is back and she is taking Broadway by storm. The show which first premiered back in 1977 triumphantly returned to the Great White Way last week to rave reviews from critics and audiences alike. To be honest after the poorly received 1997 production I wasn’t expecting much from this one. Yet there I sat three weeks ago in the Rear Orchestra of the Palace Theatre with a big smile on my face from ear to ear. Who would have thought a precocious redheaded firecracker like Annie could do that? I sure didn’t. And it looks like the reviews have made a difference as there was a line out the door the day the reviews came out. Looks like Annie is here to stay folks. Now on to the reviews.  Enjoy!

Customer Story

This week’s customer story comes all the way from the great state of North Carolina. Wilmington to be exact. Finally a city from another state that I know. Anyway last week I received a call from a travel agent who’s client was planning a trip to London next Spring and wanted to see a couple of shows while they were there. Her choices were Billy Elliot and Monty Python’s Spamalot. Believe it or not but I actually saw both shows. In New York of course. After finding out when she wanted to go I needed to find out where she wanted to sit. Just like with New York shows we always get the best seats.  After a little research I was able to get them excellent seats in the center for both shows. Not only that but at prices that were lower that she had seen on other websites. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

Customer Story

This week’s customer story comes all the way from the Great White North. That’s right. I am talking about Canada. Calgary, Alberta to be exact. Earlier in the week I received a call from a new customer who was planning a trip with his wife and wanted to see a few shows while they were here. Their choices were Once, Grace, and The Book of Mormon. Now out of all the shows only one stands out. Care to guess which one that would be? If you guess Grace then you when 100 points. O.K. not really. Grace is a play and unlike the other two it didn’t win multiple Tony Awards. Well not yet anyway. Anyway so now that I knew when they wanted to go I needed to find out where they wanted to sit and how much they wanted to spend. Now they knew that The Book of Mormon would be the most expensive of the three. They were right. It was. However not as expensive as they thought. Plus they got excellent seats in the Center Orchestra. One show down. Two to go. Next up? Once. This year’s Tony Award winner for Best Musical. This time I found them seats in the Center Front Mezzanine which is the best view for that show. One show down. One more to go. Last but not least in Grace. Because the show is not as popular as the other two I was able to get them very good seats for below cost. So there you have it folks. Three great shows at three incredible prices. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

Tony Award Winner The Book of Mormon To Begin Performances In London In February 2013

That's right theatre fans. One of Broadway's biggest hits is heading to the West End. The Book of Mormon which won nine 2011 Tony Awards including Best Musical of the Year is set to begin performances at the Prince of Wales Theatre on February 25, 2013. Heading the cast are two-time Tony nominee Gavin Creel and Jared Gertner who are currently playing in the Los Angeles production. Now while the show has been breaking box office records since it first opened in March of 2011 I wonder how it will do in London. My guess is it will do pretty well but you never know with the Brits. We shall see. Now for those of you who can't make it across the pond to see it you can always check out the Broadway production. Here at Applause we have access to every date and time. Plus we offer them at prices that are lower than you will find anywhere else. That's what we do. Get your tickets to see The Book of Mormon on Broadway and now the West End. You will love it.

Customer Story

This week’s customer story comes all the way from here. That’s right. New York City. To be honest except for the people that come up to our office and purchase tickets with their New York Pass most of our customers are from outside the New York City area. Makes sense right? After all most people that buy tickets are doing so because they can’t walk up to the theatres themselves. Why you ask? Because they don’t live here that’s why. Oh sure I guess they could wait until they get here and sort of hope for the best. Why do that? Anyway late last night I received a call from one of our regular customers. Now while he works just blocks away from the theatre district he uses us because he knows that not only do we always get him the best seats but at the lowest price as well. Who wouldn’t love that? Oh sure he could walk a few blocks to the theatre and get them himself. Hundreds of New Yorkers do it every day. He comes back to us each and every time for the personal service that we give him each and every time he calls. How many other companies do you know that do that? Not too many. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

Call Applause Now For All Your London Ticket Needs

Heading over to London in the near future and want to see a show? Sounds good to me. I know if I was going over there it is one of the first things that I would want to do. Well that and check out all the sites. “Look kids. Big Ben. Parliament.” Now if you are over thirty like me you should know that quote comes from one of the funniest movies of all time. Give up? Why it’s none other the National Lampoons Euorpean Vacation of course. If you haven’t seen it you must before you die. It is that funny. Now I know you didn’t come here for my movie picks. You came here because you are obviously going to London and want to see some shows. So let’s get right to it. Believe it or not but I have never been to London. In fact except for my yearly trip to Illinois to visit my parents I rarely leave the big city.

Not that I wouldn’t love it. I’m afraid I would love it so much that I probably would never want to leave and there is no way I could do that. I love New York way too much. Now for those of you heading across the pond you my friends have come to the right place. Not only do we specialize in all events in the New York area but everything in London too. How many other companies do you know that offer service like that? Want tickets to tickets to the hottest shows like Matilda or Wicked. No problem. How about the Shakespears Globe or the National Theatre. We do that too. Well what if theatre isn’t your thing. We have access to all events including the opera, ballet and football. Of course we call it soccer but it’s all the same after all right? Let Applause be your one stop shop for all your London ticket needs. Until next time theatre fans.

Customer Story

Today's customer story comes all the way from the great state of Ohio. Cincinnati to be exact. Now you would think growing up in the Midwest I would have been to Cincinnati hundreds of times right? Well actually the only time I was there was to visit Kings Island as a child. Anyway back to our story. This past Friday I received a call from a very nice lady who was planning a trip to New York in early with December with her family and wanted to see a couple of shows while she was here. Her choices were The Radio CityChristmas Spectacular and Wicked. Two very popular choices during the holidays. Now because she was flexible on when she wanted to go I was able to get her excellent seats for the Christmas show and at a price that was lower than it would have been if she went later in the day. Oh sure she had to go at 9am in the morning but at least that means she had the whole day free to do other things. One show down. One to go. Once again I was able to find her some very good seats in the Mid Mezzanine for Wicked and at a price that was lower than she had found anywhere else. Plus I was able to find a couple of great restaurants for her and her family to check out while they were here. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

Broadway's Wicked Celebrates Anniversary

Can you believe it’s been nine years since Wicked first opened on Broadway? Time sure does fly. Now most people forget that the show didn’t get very good reviews when it first opened. Yet  here we are all these years later and Wicked remains one of Broadway’s most popular show.  Guess the critic’s don’t know everything huh? To be honest I never trust what they say either. Personally I would rather reach my own decision. Now while I enjoyed the show when I first saw it I never expected to still be blogging about it all these years later. Who would have thought? I know I sure didn’t. Now for those of you who still haven’t seen the show there is no better time than right now. Good seats are available for all performances. Need tickets for the holidays? No problem. How about last minute tickets for this weekend? That’s what we do. So why not give us a call? You’ll be glad you did.

Buying Tickets From A Licensed Ticket Broker

Ever bought anything online? Of course you have. I know I personally buy all my Christmas and Birthday gifts thru the internet. Who wants to deal with a bunch of crazy people? I know I sure don’t. Well buying theatre tickets is the same way. Let’s be honest. Most people who purchase tickets for shows in New York don’ t even live here. Therefore the only way to get them is to either buy them online or over the phone or walk up to the theatre. The only problem with that is your show may not be available when you get there. That means the only way to get them is thru a ticket broker. The truth is there are hundreds of different companies out there that sell tickets. The big question is who do you use? Well of course if It was up to me you would use us. Nothing like a little self-promotion.  Here’s the thing. It’s your money. So do your homework. Take your time and find the company that works best for you. In the end that’s what matters most anyway. Until next time theatre fans.

Customer Story

That’s right theatre fans. We survived Hurricane Sandy. What a mess! Luckily after two days we were able to return to work which is when I received the call for this week’s customer story.  Earlier in the day I received a call from a travel agent who had purchased tickets from us for herself and her family. She had The Book of Mormon for later in the week and decided to see another show while they were here. I asked her what she wanted to see and her choice was WarHorse. Now even though I have never seen the show I have heard nothing but good things about it since it opened last year. Anyway so now that I knew what she wanted to see I needed to find out when she wanted to go. Since the show has been playing for over a year and a half I knew I would be able to get her excellent seats. Not only that but at a price for below our normal cost. Now as a travel agent she automatically gets a discount but I was able to get a price that was lower than normal. Well she loved that. Plus I was able to find a great but inexpensive restaurant for them to check out before the show. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

Customer Story

What? Two customer stories in one week? It's possible. After we all we do have some awesome customers here at Applause so it makes sense to write about them. Two days ago I received a phone call from a travel agent in South Carolina who's client was planning a trip to New York in late November and wanted to see a few shows while they were here. Their choices were Wicked, Mary Poppins, and the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. Now based on the shows I figured at least one of the people going was a young child or a least a teenager. Makes sense right? Turns out I was wrong. They were all adults. Anyway after finding out what they wanted to see and when I needed to find out where they wanted to sit and how much they wanted to spend. Because they picked a non-peak performance for Radio City I was able to get them excellent seats in the Center 1st Mezzanine for below cost. One show down. Two to go. Because Wicked remains one of Broadway's most popular shows they knew it would be probably be more expensive than the others. In the end I was able to find them seats in the Front Mezzanine and at a price that was lower than expected. Two down. One to go. The third and final show was Mary Poppins. Care to guess where the ended up sitting? That's right. The Mezzanine. Oh sure it was the Mid Mezzanine but it is still a great view. So there you have it folks. Three great shows at three amazing prices. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

A Day In The Life Of A Ticket Broker

So here I sit on a surprisingly warm Friday afternoon at work trying to find something to blog about. Actually I am waiting for Hurricane Sandy to arrive. Yeah right! I'll believe it when I see it. Everybody was freaking out about Hurricane Irene and it lasted less than two hours here in the city. The other boroughs not so much. That's why I am thankful that I live in Manhattan. Anyway as far as theatre in New York there really isn't a whole lot going on right now as far as new musicals. In fact most of the new shows right now are plays. That is nothing new of course as most of the big shows don't usually open until the Spring is time for the Tony Awards. As of now there are fourteen new shows set to open between now and the end of April. Five of those are new musicals.

The Anarchist-Previews begin on November 13
Ann-Previews begin on March 7
Cat On A Hot Tin Roof-Previews begin on December 18
Cinderella-Previews begin on January 21
Dead Accounts-Previews begin on November 3
Diner-Previews (TBA)
Golden Boy-Previews begin on November 8
Hands On A Hardbody-Previews begin on February 23
Kinky Boots-Previews begin on March 5
Lucky Guy-Preview begin on March 1
Matilda-Previews begin on March 4
Mowtown:The Musical-Previews begin on March 11
The Nance-Previews begin on March 11
Picnic-Previews begin on December 14

Pretty interesting line-up wouldn't you say? Now I'm sure you probably noticed quite a few omission's. Barry Manilow is a limited run as are Elf, The Christmas Story, and The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. Plus Annie, Glengarry Glen Ross, The Heiress, and The Performers while opening this year have been in previews for the past couple of weeks. So I guess if you want to get technical there are twenty-two shows opening then. Oh well. Now out of all the ones that are set to open the two that I am most excited about our Mowtown and Lucky Guy. One because I love the music and two because two-time Academy Award winner Tom Hanks will be making his Broadway debut. And no he will not be starring in Mowtown. Although that would be an interesting casting choice don't you think? Anyway it looks to be an interesting season my friends. Which ones will fail and which ones will succeed? We will soon find out. Until next time theatre fans.

See The 2012 Radio City Christmas Spectacular For Less With Applause

That's right. Christmas is here. Aren't you excited? I know I am. It is my second favorite holiday after all. Care to guess which one is my favorite? Why Thanksgiving of course. Now while I have never been one to turn down some Turkey and stuffing that is not the reason why I love it. The real reason why it is my favorite holiday is because of the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. Growing up as a child the parade was my first exposure to New York City and I from then on my love for this amazing city began. Cut to twelve years later and I'm standing on 73rd and Central Park West watching it live and in person for the first time. Now I know you're all wondering the same thing. Did the live version live up to my expectations?Well I'm still talking about it over twenty years later so what do you think?

Anyway enough about me and my obsession with the parade. You came here to find out how you can see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular at some incredible savings. So let's get to it. Now unlike the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade I have never seen it. Kind of hard to believe right? Look I'm sure it is amazing. It wouldn't have lasted for almost eighty years if it wasn't. It's just seems like one of those events you go to with your family or your loved ones and since I am currently single and my parents live hundreds of miles away I won't be going. At least not this year anyway. Oh well. There is always next year. Now for those of you who want tickets to the show you have come to the right place. Good seats are now available for all performances.This year's edition is set to begin on November 9 and run thru December 30. Get your tickets to see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. Your holidays won;t be the same without it.

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

No plans for Halloween? How about a Friday or Saturday night? Why not see a show? Better yet when not see two. That's what matinees are for after all. Now while I love the theatre I don't know if I could sit through two shows in one day but there is always a first time for everything I guess. In fact most of my regular customers that come to New York every year usually see four or five shows in the span of just a few days. Now that is a theatregoer. We all know that going to the theatre nowadays can be expensive. The good thing is there are ways to save if you do your homework. As we speak there are over fifty shows that you can see for less. I mean who doesn't love a bargain? I know I sure do. Oh sure you may not be able to see shows like The Book of Mormon or Wicked for prices like that but there are other shows out there that are just as good. Now don't forget Off-Broadway. Believe it or not but Off-Broadway has been a major force on the New York scene for over sixty years. Where else could you see such unique and innovative shows like Blue Man Group or Fuerza Bruta? 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.

Beware Of Scalpers

What is a scalper? I know you all have heard the term many times. According to www.investopedia.com, " A scalper is a person who buys large quantities of in-demand items, such as new electronics or event tickets, at regular price, hoping that the items will sell out. The scalper will then resell the items at a higher price. Such transactions often occur on the black market. This type of scalping is illegal under certain conditions." Sounds right to me. Now while Applause may be a broker we are not nor have we ever been a scalper. Oh sure when people want to call and complain because they don't like the price or they think they were ripped off the first thing they say is that "You are a scalper." Trust me. I've been called worse.

Yes we buy and resell tickets. And yes we have a mark up. That's how we make our money after all. If we didn't charge some type of service fee we would be out of business. Now you don't want that do you? I didn't think so. The truth is there are hundreds of companies out there that sell tickets. We just happen to be one of them. My feeling is that no matter who you purchase from make sure you do your homework first. I always tell people that no matter who you use try and find a company that has not only a working phone number but are also licensed by the state. If they are not then I would advise you keep checking around. It's your money after all. Until next time theatre fans.

Broadway's Mamma Mia Celebrates Anniversary

Hard to believe theatre fans but its been eleven year's since Mamma Mia first opened on the Great White Way. Know what else is hard to believe? I've never seen it. In fact in the twenty years that I have lived here I have never stepped foot inside  the Winter Garden Theatre. I avoided Cats and so far I have managed to avoid Mamma Mia as well. Look I'm sure the show is good. It wouldn't have lasted all these years if people weren't enjoying it right? It's just not my cup of tea I guess. Besides who cares what I think. I'm pretty sure that Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus aren't losing any sleep over the fact that I haven't seen their show.

And yes I had to google their names. I thought I would be nice and give them a little credit as opposed to referring to them as the "Two Guys From ABBA". Now for those of you who still haven't seen the show you have come to the right place. Although at this point there can't be many people out there who haven't. Myself included of course. Good seats are now available for all performances. Not only that but at prices that can't be beat. Be advised that while this "Insider Price" is good thru December 23 it is not good for Friday November 23 and subject to availability. Get your tickets to see Mamma Mia on Broadway. It may not be my favorite show but it just might be yours. Until next time theatre fans.

Customer Story

This week's customer story comes all the way from the great state of New York. Victor to be exact. This past Wednesday I got a call from a travel agent who recently received our post card in the mail and wanted to find out a little bit more about our company and services. I explained to her that not only do we sell tickets to all shows and events in New York, London and Nationwide but that for every ticket she purchases she gets a $10 commission. Well she loved that. Anyway after a few more questions she decided to book a couple of shows. I take that back. She wanted three shows all for the same date and the same time.

Now wait a minute. How is that possible? Well as it turns out she was bringing a total of forty-four people and they all wanted to see different shows. Makes sense now right? By the way the shows they wanted to see were The Book of Mormon,Rock of Ages, and Wicked. All good choices in my opinion. Of course I still haven't seen The Book of Mormon. Oh well. Not like it's not going to be playing for the next ten years. So now that I knew what they wanted to see I needed to find out where the wanted to sit and how much they wanted to spend. Now they knew going in that The Book of Mormon would be the more expensive of the three. Plus since most of them were seeing that one I had my work cut out for me. I knew it would probably be difficult to get them all together. It was twenty-six tickets after all.

Luckily for them I was able to get most of the seats just a couple of rows apart and at a price that was lower than they were expecting. One show down. Two to go. Now since Rock of Ages has been playing for awhile I knew I should have no problem getting them good seats. Sure enough I was able to find ten seats in the Front Mezzanine. Two shows down. One to go. Once again I was able to find excellent seats in the Front Mezzanine for the whole group. So there you are folks. Three shows. Forty-four tickets. Now while I wouldn't have minded if she needed to use separate credit cards for each couple I won't mind telling you that I was beyond thrilled when she decided to use the company card for the whole transaction. Whew! Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

Applause:Your One Stop Shop For All Your Ticket Needs

Need tickets to see The Book of Mormon on a Saturday night? How about tickets to see this years Radio City Christmas Spectacular? Or maybe sports are your thing. Let's say you are a big New York Knicks fan like me. Come on.I know there are a few of you out there. After all we are undefeated right now. Yes I know it's only preseason but it still counts in my book. Here at Applause we truly do sell it all. Travelling across the pond and want to see a show? We sell that too. Or maybe you are heading over to Vienna and want to see an opera or ballet. Believe it or not we can get your tickets for that as well. Who knew?

To be honest when I first started working at Applause over eight years ago I thought we only sold theatre tickets. Boy was I wrong. Oh sure we still sell tickets to every show On and Off Broadway. That will never change. The truth is there are hundred of companies out there just like us. That is another thing that will never change. So what makes us different from everybody else? Well besides selling tickets to all events around the world we also now sell car transfers as well as give suggestions for restaurants and other things to do and see around this great city of ours. How many companies do you know that do that? Not too many my friends. Plus Applause is open seven days a week. 365 days a year. That means we are always here to help with all your ticket needs. So why not give us a call? You'll be glad you did.

Customer Story

This week's customer story comes all the way from the great state of California. Irvine to be exact. This past Friday I received an email from one of my regular customers who was bringing a group into New York City at the end of November and wanted to see two shows while they were here. Their choices were Nice Work If You Can Get It and Rock of Ages. Which by the way I have seen five times. I guess you could say I am a fan. Anyway she needed ten tickets for Rock of Ages and thirteen tickets for Nice Work. It seems that three people aren't big fans of Rock of Ages like I am. Oh well. It's not for everybody. Although why anyone would want to turn down two and a half hours of great 80's music is beyond me.

Anyway after finding out what they wanted to see and when I next needed to find out how much they wanted to spend. Now because Rock of Ages has been playing for almost four years I knew I would probably be able to get them tickets for less than our normal rate. Plus with it playing in such a small theatre all the seats are good. How can you beat that? One show down. One to go. Although Nice Work may not be as popular as Wicked or The Book of Mormon it still does pretty well on Fridays and Saturday evenings. Not too mention that they were wanting to see it on one of the busiest shopping weekends of the year. When all was said and done I was able to get them excellent seats in the Front Mezzanine. Not only that but I was also able to find them a nice restaurant that could accommodate a large group as well. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

Travel Agents and Applause

Since I started working at Applause over eight years ago I have literally sold thousands of tickets to people from all walks of life. From first time customers who found our website thru a google search to ordinary folks who bought tickets because they had the NY Pass. For those of you who are not familiar with it the NY Pass is a great offer that gives you discounts and sometimes free admission to over one hundred places and events in New York City. Now while we do sell a lot of tickets to consumers most of our business believe it or not comes from the travel agent industry. Trust me when I say we would not be where we are today if it wasn't for our loyal travel agents who continue to use our services year after year. Thank you. We couldn't do it without you. Now for those of you in the travel industry who have never used us before there are some advantages to doing so. For one we pay commission for every ticket you purchase. Not only that but when you order tickets for yourself you get a discount for you as well as everyone else in your party. Now if that doesn't make you want to get on the phone right now and call Applause I don't know what will. Don't forget that Applause is open seven days a week. 365 days a year. That means we are always here to help with all your ticket needs. So why not give us a try? You'll be glad you did.

Company Story

This week's customer story comes all the way from the great state of Connecticut. This past Friday I received a call from a travel agent who's client was planning a trip to New York in December and wanted to see two shows. Her choices were Wicked and The Radio City Christmas Spectacular. Two very popular choices during the holidays. The good thing is that since she was flexible on when she wanted to go I was able to get her an "Insider Price" for the Christmas Spectacular. Well she loved that. One show down. One to go. For Wicked I was able to find her excellent seats in the Front Mezzannine and at a price that was lower than she was expecting. Plus I was able to recommend a great hotel to stay at as well as some nice but inexpensive restaurants as well. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

If you are like me you can't wait for basketball season to start. It seems like only yesterday that I was watching the Knicks play the Heat in the first round of the playoffs. Which by the way marked their first time since 2001. Hopefully we won't have to go another eleven years to get there again. Call me optimistic but I think we have a good shot this year of making it past the first round. We shall see.  Now being a huge Knicks fan I tend to get a lot of flack from my friends and colleagues. You know what? I don't care. Win or lose I am a Knicks fan for life. Anyway for those of you fans like me who are eager to get your hands on tickets for the 2012-2013 season then you have come to the right place my friends.

Big Apple Circus To Return To New York Later This Month

That's right circus fans. This year's edition of the Big Apple Circus is set to begin performances in less than three weeks. Excited aren't you? Besides who says you have to be a kid to enjoy the circus? Growing up I always looked forward to when the circus would come to my hometown. Granted it was only every couple of years but it was enough to satisfy me until the next time it came our way. Now of course when most people think of the circus today the first thing that comes to their mind is the Ringling and Barnum and Bailey Circus. Makes sense right? Well here in New York we have the Big Apple Circus. Now to be honest in all the years that I have lived here I have never seen it. I guess I'm a little to old to sit in a big tent with a bunch of screaming kids. Now when I have kids of my own I'm sure I will check it out. Until then I will just stick to selling the show to people that will appreciate it. Performances for the 2012 edition is set to begin on October 20 and run thru January 13, 2013. Good seats are available for all performances so call now. See you at the circus.

Customer Story

This week's customer story comes all the way from the great state of Arizona. Tucson to be exact. A couple of days ago I received a call from a very nice young lady who was planning a trip to New York later this month and wanted to see a couple of shows while she was here. I take that back. She actually wanted to see five shows. I don't know about you but I can barely handle one show a month. Five in week would kill me. Thank goodness for her that she loves the theatre. After finding out when she would be here I asked her what she wanted to see.

Her choices were The Book of Mormon, Peter and the Starcatcher, War Horse, Nice Work If You Can Get It, and Carmen. Now believe it or not but the only one that I have seen of that bunch is Peter and the Starcatcher which I loved by the way. For those of you who think that it sounds like a children's show because it is a prequel to Peter Pan would be wrong. It is great for all ages. See it if you get the chance. O.K. Enough shameless plugging for the show. Back to my story. So now that I knew what she wanted to see and when I needed to find out what type of seats she was looking for and how much she wanted to spend.

She told me that since she was ordering so many tickets she wanted to get the best deal possible although she knew that The Book of Mormon would be more expensive than the others. This is true. Anyway after a little research I was able to get her excellent seats for every show and at "Insider Prices" for three out of the five. In fact the tickets were Mormon were lower than she had seen anywhere else. Plus I was able to help them find some great but inexpensive restaurants to check out as well. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

Get Tickets To See Broadway's Mary Poppins For Less This Fall

Still haven't seen Mary Poppins yet? Well there is no better time than the present. Now while I'll admit that I am not the biggest Disney fan in the world the movie version Mary Poppins was a favorite of mine as a child. In fact I bet I saw it at least 25 times or more growing up. I guess you could say I liked it huh? I think so.

Although I was looking forward to seeing my childhood movie come to life I was a little unsure if the stage version would be as good as the film. Well as it turns out I was worried for nothing. Oh sure nobody can ever replace Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke but those two actor's along with an outstanding ensemble of Broadway veterans and newcomers made that night in the theatre one I will never forget.

Oh I almost forgot. The reason for today's blog was to tell you about an incredible offer. Right now you can get tickets to see Mary Poppins in Broadway for prices that can't be beat. Be advised that while this "Insider Price" is good thru November 18 it is subject to availability. Deals like these don't come around every day so don't delay. Get your tickets to see Mary Poppins on Broadway. It will make you feel like a kid again.
