Typically 20–50% off face value

- Enter the lottery — no queue and zero effort, though it is not the cheapest route on this page. Set a daily reminder; the entry windows are unforgiving.
- Line up early for rush on a non-lottery day. Weekday performances are the friendliest.
- TKTS is the fallback. Same-day, in-person — head to the Times Square booth around 3 PM for evening shows.
- If all else fails, compare the resale market on the main Just in Time page — sometimes resale dips below face for less-popular performances.
