4th of July discounts? #1
Posted: 6/21/18 at 9:14pm

I know in years past there have been discounts for shows over the 4th of July (Star Spangled Broadway). Anyone know of any discounts for this year?

One show I am wondering about is Beautiful My mom will be in town and I know she would love to see it. Trying to decide if we should buy tickets now using an existing discount or if we should try to rush the show? If we try to rush and fail I suppose we could hope for TKTS or try our chances at winning the new online Beautiful lotto.

I know certain holidays (Christmas, Thanksgiving) see an uptick in attendance, but what about the 4th of July? My sense is that attendance is down over this holiday but I could be wrong.

Thank you for any insight!

All (or almost all) shows cancel their evening show on the 4th. Some still have a matinee (but not many). Playbill's Schedule Beautiful seems to have a matinee - you could look at what availability looks like now.....and over the next week. That might give you insight into the possibility of a further discount.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Thank you for replying so fast! I should have been more specific - not looking to attend on the 4th itself. My moms flight gets into JFK around 8 or 9 pm on the 4th. Looking to attend Beautiful on either the 5th or 7th. Looks like last year the Star Spangled discounts were valid for a few days prior to the 4th and a few days after the 4th.

In case anyone is interested - there is a Boys in the Band discount on Broadwaybox that looks to be valid July 2 - 5. Unfortunately for me, it is not a show my mom would be interested in.

Thank you so much for mentioning these discounts. I just got Skintight for the July 7th matinee. Was going to rush it, but for a few more dollars I was able to just purchase a ticket.
