Tix4tonight (t4t) Im a person who is on both sides of the show market. So to give everyone a piece of mind and some educationing here is what you should know.
T4t sells discounted shows, restaurants and golf tee times
The way it works (it's not a scam) is they work with the box offices on getting seats in whatever areas the producers will allow. Some shows like any show at the V theatre wouldn't matter because it is first come first serve type of thing. But some of the major shows like Phantom or Blueman group (hmm Venetian) have sections reserved for tix4tonight customers. Of couse the early you buy your ticket the better the location. The staff knows generally where these are at.
Tix doesn't give you the ACTUAL TICKET! it's a VOUCHER! redeem it ASAP at the box office! this is purposely done.
Also your probably wondering,... "is this the best deal?"
Well that depends on how much homework you want to do. Obviously locals can get good deals already. If your not local which is what this service really caters to, find out about your show. I'd say check the boxoffice always. What deals do they have? And specials or promos? If none, which happens during the height of tourist season then Tix is a great alternative.
A few more tips!
There are six locations! The busiest ones i'd say are the fashion show mall and the coke bottle. So expect a line in the morning.
There is a service fee but there are coupons to cut it down. Check any magazine. Also they'll tell you about dinner discounts. A previous reviewer said all the food discounts they offered were horrible. What a load of *&%*&!!! Enoteca San Marco is fantastic, Penazzi, also a good deal is if you get the discount to Planet Hollywood Restaurant. It's actually better and cheaper then going to Mc Donalds. And you go whenever you want.
They also do discounts on Golf. not my area of expertise. But it's as legit as it gets.
Last tip. Geez. I work for a show. So I know where the T4t people sit. it's not always bad. Don't assume you're sitting in the nose bleed section (although i joke and tell people we give out complementary tissues)
