Cheap Tickets to Everything

The great thing about not being picky or having a tight schedule? Not having to pay full price! Some resources for scoring cheap or free tickets for theater, comedy, concerts, and more:


  • Goldstar.com - This site offers discounted tickets (often as much as half price) and sometimes free offers to countless theater events in Chicago and a number of other cities. Register for free on the site, get your tickets in advance, you're set to go.


  • Hottix.org - Last minute discounted tickets to some of the typically pricier plays and musicals - changes daily (I think?)


  • Lakeshore Theater - Sign up for their weekly mailing list - almost (if not every) week will have free offers for certain things if you just email/call to reserve your tickets before the show. They also frequently hold drawings for ticket giveaways at the theater. 99% of shows I've seen here have been great. Even if not, hey, it's free.


  • Bordersrewards.com - Offers discounted movie tickets if you prepay and buy in bulk.


  • Craigslist, Stubhub.com - Assuming it's not for something where tickets are in extremely high demand, both are guaranteed to be cheaper than Ticketmaster the longer you hold out. Screw "convenience" fees...


  • Jamusa.com - Sign up for their mailing list - every once in a while they will send out free ticket offers to some of their less high-profile concerts at the last minute.
