Looking to scores some cheap Broadway tickets? Time Warner Cable News’ Tara Lynn Wagner has some tips in this Money Matters report.

Want to see a Broadway show without breaking the bank? Get in line. The Theatre Development Fund operates three TKTS booths - one in Times Square - selling day-of shows at a deep discount.

"The vast volume of our tickets are at a 50 percent discount,” says Victoria Bailey, Executive Director at Theatre Development Fund. “Having the ability to participate in cultural events is not limited just to folks with deep pockets."

For evening performances, the booth opens at 3 p.m. A big board and the TKTS app list what shows are available and the discount being offered.

Take “Finding Neverland.” At full price, orchestra seats are $147 each.  Here at the booth....

"It was $80 and they are orchestra seats, seventh row, so pretty good," says one person who purchased a ticket.

Prefer to plan ahead? Various discount ticket sites and apps offer great prices to sought-after shows. When it comes to landing those deals, it is all in the timing.

"September is a great time to come see theatre and the shows are often running great promotions with discounts because the tourist season is over but we haven't yet moved into the holidays," says Sarah Bidnick, VP of Marketing for TodayTix.

"If you go during the week, you're going to have a better chance of seeing the show you want to see," says Josh Ferri, editor of BroadwayBox.com.

Since a good performance will bring you to your feet anyway, why not just start there?  Some sold out shows offer standing room only tickets, where you will not get a seat but you will get a great view. And with prices typically under $40, these tickets are worth the ovation.

"If you're enjoying the show, you're not going to care that you're standing," said one theatergoer.

In addition, you do not have to worry about someone in front of you having big hair.

Finally, luck may be a lady if you take a chance on the lottery at shows like "The Book of Mormon." On any given day, Lottery Dude Christopher Catalano may have a dozen or so tickets and 200 or more hopefuls praying they will win.

"Two and half hours prior, we start taking names and then two hours prior, we draw," says Christopher Catalano, "The Book of Mormon" Lottery Dude.

While seats to the popular show can be pricey, lottery winners pay only $32 for front row orchestra.

Finally, Josh Ferri of BroadwayBox says if you cannot get a cheap ticket to the show you really want, there's probably a show you'll love just as much waiting in the wings.

"You want to see ‘The Book of Mormon’ because it's funny? You can go see ‘Something Rotten’ or ‘Hand to God,’ which are just as funny and at a discount."
