Thinking about seeing a show in New York this holiday season? Here's a way to get discount tickets in advance and without standing in line in the cold in Times Square. Broadwaybox.com offers discount codes for dozens of shows on Broadway and off. They don't sell the tickets themselves -- in fact, they are just a clearinghouse for codes provided by members of the public. But you can click through to the ticket agency to get the discount. Or if you live in New York and want to avoid the service charge, do like my neighbor, a former New Yorker who told me about the site, used to do: bring the code to the the theater and buy the tickets there.
The site doesn't just offer discounts to long-running tourist attractions. For example, the site says the codes will get you 40% or more off tickets to Conor McPherson's "The Seafarer" (which I highly recommend) or Aaron Sorkin's "The Farnsworth Invention," and up to 45% off Tom Stoppard's "Rock 'n' Roll."
