i can't help... i'm not a theater goer, but a music concert goer.... if you wanted to take her to a decent music concert, i'd be able to point you in the right direction..... good music, loud, beers, jumping around like a lunatic, kinda is my thing!

Good morning, all!

I'd be super grateful if Markymoo, Crabman, anyone could help... I'm hoping to arrange a birthday surprise for my sister (lives in Brooklyn). I'd love to get her 2 tickets to a B'way show (something she & her partner never find the time to do...)

So my Q: Can I purchase a ticket/voucher from here [Scotland]? Anyone have an idea of a great show? Something uplifting/amusing? (Sorry, acushlas, that's become q's and not just one q...) Safest, most reputable theatre ticketing online? Twofers?

Cheers!!

On our last trip I pre-booked tickets to spamalot via:

http://www.broadwaybox.com/

you pay for the tickets and they send you an e-ticket within 24hours which you just print out and take to the theatre with you.

I done some checking prior to booking and broadway box have some great feedback and I cant fault their service.

I can highly recommend spamalot for a couple of hours of hilarity, mind you im a python fan however mrs phatbear isnt and she really enjoyed it too I even had her singing always look on the bright side of life at the end, other people have highly recommended ave Q as well for a chortle.

You could wait until you get there and pop along to a Tkts booths however they can get busy and there are no guarantees that they will have tickets to the show you want.

Hi does anyone know anything about the new york city pass?

Is it any good, value for money.

Going to NY first week of december and I'm trying to plan the trip.

Hi Louby Lou. I'm off to new york for 5 nights early november and have purchased the 7 day new york pass. I got it for $135, the lowest it will go is $132. They change the offer all the time so wait for $30 off or 20% off before you buy it.
Whether its value for money is purely dependant on you, and how many of the attractions you are hoping to do whilst you're there. I made a list of the ones i will 100% definately do, then some if we get the time, and others if we're passing and fancy it. For me i should use about $150 worth of attractions so i thought it was a good idea, especially as i won't need to budget for ticket prices on the door, and queue up for tickets. Also, with the pass you get a few discounts. The ones i'll be using are $10 credit at planet hollywood each day(wont use it everyday, just when passing), 15% off the bus ticket to woodbury common outlet and bogof at the ice skating in central park. The main draw for me though was having it all paid for before i go. I will be picking it up on the first night from planet hollywood. The only attraction not included with this pass that i want to do is the top of the rock, which is only $12 anyway.

Shame you only asked marky this question as if you had generally asked any forum user they may have been able to tell ya that:

Smashing Pumpkins 6th & 7th Nov
Black Crowes 4th Nov

Neither are english but they are rock and well worth seeing.

Sorry for treading on your toes Mr Moo

All the best

You ROCK Marky! lol :beer:

Did I tell you on 19 September 1981 (when I was 19!), I was at THIS along with 800,000 others? Mellowest gig/concert I've ever been to - whatever your view of S&G, it was an amazing experience.
