Step 1
Use Broadway discount codes. Without question, the easiest and most reliable method of getting discount Broadway tickets in advance is by using Broadway discount codes. These codes are distributed many ways, from flyers to member e-mails from websites like Playbill. The website www.nytix.com includes several discount codes for most Broadway shows in a guide available through their site. These discounts typically vary from 25% to 60% off full price. Once you have your discount code, you simply give it to the Ticketmaster/Telecharge operator or box office attendant to buy your tickets at the discount price.

Step 2
Request Partial View tickets. Only some Broadway shows have these, and they are not all discounted. But some major Broadway shows, such as "Wicked", offer Partial View seats at a significant discount. And, in most cases, you won't actually be missing THAT much of the action. Inquire at the box office of the Broadway show you want to see to see if Partial View tickets are an option.

Step 3
Buy "Stage Seats". Stage seating is only offered for a few select shows, but these seats are almost always at a good discount. It means exactly what it says - your seats will be up on the stage, either to the sides or behind the action. It is a unique way to experience a Broadway show, and at a fraction of the regular price.

Step 4
Get discounted Student Tickets. Unfortunately the majority of student discounts are Student Rush tickets, meaning that you can only purchase them on the day of the performance. However, there are a few Broadway shows that will let students buy their discount tickets ahead of time - this is most frequently the case with Broadway shows that are not especially popular. Lincoln Center also has a special program called StudenTix that allows you to get these tickets over the internet once you have registered online.
