Interested in cheap theater tickets and $10 parking in NYC? We got the inside scoop from Broadway Bob and now you have no excuse NOT to go out for a date night!
One of the best places to get discount theater and Broadway show tickets is at the TKTS booth. TKTS booths are located in Times Square, South Street Seaport, and Downtown Brooklyn and allow you to get up to 50% off same day Broadway and off-Broadway tickets. For the busy mom with two impatient kids who simply cannot schlep them into the city just to stand in line for tickets (and then have the energy to come back in again in the evening for date night) Broadway Bob suggests just logging onto Broadway Box and getting up to 50% off Broadway and off-Broadway tickets, all from the convenience of your home. Got your tickets in hand? The deals do not end here! Take advantage of discount parking in the city. You can get a Theater Parking Coupon here (click on the coupon tab at the top right of the page) and pay just $10 for up to 10 hours of parking, just by presenting the coupon and the discounted theater tickets you just scored. Thank you Broadway Bob!
Don’t forget, if you want to take the kids to a show, you can get free Broadway show tickets for kids and $5 tickets for teens and accompanying adults
