Discount tickets for Lion King or Wicked?

I will be in NYC 1/17,18 and I was curious what the chances are for getting discounted tickets to Lion King or Wicked. I%26#39;ve checked theatermania and there is nothing there, but wondered if TKTS booths have been carrying these tickets.

Thanks!

Discount tickets for Lion King or Wicked?

Wicked and The Lion King are still the 2 most popular shows and are rarely, if ever, discounted. You won%26#39;t have much chance.

You can check tickets sold by the TKTS booth here:

(show%26#39;s previous week%26#39;s tickets)

These 2 have generally not been discounted. There was a BOGO offer but I don%26#39;t think it%26#39;s still valid and not for those dates.

If you won%26#39;t be too disappointed if you don%26#39;t get tickets, you can try to do rush tickets. I must tell you I tried 3 times to get tickets for Wicked and never got them and eventually bought them at full price. Click on this link and follow the instructions. If it%26#39;s a cold day, maybe not that many people will show up to compete with you ;) One time I went and there were about 150 people and another probably about 50.. best of luck.

By the way, cash only and I think the cost went up to $26.00

Thanks for the suggestions! I have seen Wicked in Chicago twice, so don%26#39;t HAVE to see it... plus I will be going back to NYC in March for work, so if I still feel the need, I can buy full price then. But, I may try the rush tickets. We bought full price Spring Awakening. Since it%26#39;s the last weekend of its run, there may not be discounts. We thought we%26#39;d check tkts or some other discount for another night.

Thanks!

Also, what time can you start lining up? Or, can you line up whenever you want to?

For rush tickets it doesn%26#39;t matter how early you get there, as long as you are there no later than the time it says to be there. Since the names are all drawn at random, it doesn%26#39;t really benefit you to get there early. You should check out Altar Boyz. It is one of the funniest shows I have seen, and if you go to the ticket office a couple hours before the show and they have seats left they will sell them for $26.50 (don%26#39;t quote me on that).

how are the views from the rear mezzanine level 2 for Wicked?
