If you don't get here often and aren't planning to do any rush/lottery/SRO, then buying in advance is probably best. But you should probably wait until the discount codes for your shows include your dates. Like if you go on BroadwayBox, the PIppin discounts are currently through December 21. So, I'd bookmark the Pippin page and just see when it extends to include your dates and then buy.

Unless you rather get a great seat and discounts aren't an issue, in which case just be sure to go to telecharge.com, so you don't even up on a broker site paying more than you should.

If you are planning any sight seeing, some should be booked ahead, like if you wish to go up to the crown of the Statue of Liberty - book it now!

The dates that you've given for your visit is the slump season for Broadway. You should buy your tickets when you're here because plenty of discounts will be available.

Mid January should be wide open for tickets and discounts galore. there is MLK Holiday but I wouldn't worry.

Check out www.BroadwayHelper.com which includes discount codes for buying tickets in advance. Under details, it also lists if the show will tour -- and PIPPIN is touring.
