Cheap seats, mapped
Paranormal Activity rush, lottery & cheap tickets
Every legitimate cheap-seat tactic for Paranormal Activity on Broadway — with the realistic odds, prices, and the small print. No paywalled "premium tier" nonsense; just the public-facing routes ranked.
Paranormal Activity is a 130-minute play at the 1,228-seat August Wilson Theatre. It runs through February 28, 2027 — the closing date is set, so cheap-seat demand typically rises in the final weeks. Multiple cheap-seat routes are in play: an official lottery, and an in-person rush.

- Enter the lottery first. Lowest price, zero effort. Set a daily reminder; the entry windows are unforgiving.
- Line up early for rush on a non-lottery day. Weekday performances are the friendliest.
- If all else fails, compare the resale market on the main Paranormal Activity page — sometimes resale dips below face for less-popular performances.
