OK I know there are many Manhattanites here that are knowledgeable on this sort of thing. Want to take the fama (2 adults 1 teen and one tween) to see Wicked on the weekend on Nov 8th and I'm trying to figure out the best (cheapest) way to get good tickets. I have been looking at Ticketmaster etc, but figured I'd ask if anyone had any tricks as well as possible hotel recommendations, dinner close by etc.
Thx Doods.
I can't guarantee that the service is always legit, but I haven't had any trouble.

www.plumbenifits.com it linked me to a service I got linked to a lot just by googleing "discount broadway tickets".
was no huge bargain, but a few $ cheaper than ticketmaster. Used to be easier to get broadway discounts, especially with those coupons you'd see all over the place like at schools and Dr's offices. Not really any more. I will say the seats are good- orchestra like 12 rows or so back. problem with broadway is they charge the same price whether you are orchestra or front Mezz so it's no bargain at all to sit upstairs unless you sit in the back of the mezz it's a little cheaper but you can't see real well especially kids.
YYZ!
They announced the tour dates??? Sweet Miracle!
on the day of show in the morning go to the TKTS booth
usually tickets are 50%
the best booth is actually in brooklyn - there is no line at all
the downside there is no guarantee there will be tickets for the show you want to go to
so the best is to have a few shows you are interested in seeing and then go to the booth
odds are one will be avaliable

That's crazy.
If wasn't until later that summer after I sat through 3 hours of that shit -- got him alone on the fishing boat and he said he thought it was just ok. His wife and out mother in law were the ones who loved it.
Typical married life shit you get roped into. My advice -- don't go.
