The Book of Mormon rush, lottery & cheap tickets
Every legitimate cheap-seat tactic for The Book of Mormon on Broadway — with the realistic odds, prices, and the small print. No paywalled "premium tier" nonsense; just the public-facing routes ranked.
The Book of Mormon is a 150-minute musical at the 1,108-seat Eugene O'Neill Theatre. It has been running since 2011 — a long-runner with established cheap-seat patterns. Multiple cheap-seat routes are in play: an official lottery, and TKTS booth eligibility.

Typically 20–50% off face value
The Book of Mormon has appeared at the TKTS booth (Times Square, Lincoln Center and the Lower Manhattan locations) — same-day discounts of roughly 20–50% off face value. Appearance and discount level vary day-to-day; shorter-running shows and weekday performances are the better bets.
See today's TKTS list →The realistic playbook
- Enter the lottery first. Lowest price, zero effort. Set a daily reminder; the entry windows are unforgiving.
- 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 The Book of Mormon page — sometimes resale dips below face for less-popular performances.
