| - These guys are good! I was really interested in picking up Monday night show tickets for Penn and Teller. I considered paying full price, but I was lured in with a hotel coupon offering 30 percent off of mezzanine seats. The catch, apparently, was that I had to make a special trip to the Rio to purchase them. I tried that, and their ticket booth was conveniently closed, and their ticket kiosk did not have an option for inputting discount codes.
Instead of taking a second trip to the Rio, I opted to just stand in the very short line at Tix4Tonight to see what they could do for me. Amazingly, I was able to save more than 30 percent and ended up with rather good seats. Specifically, they gave me a voucher which I took to the Rio to claim my seats which are dealt out on a first come first served basis (up to an hour before the show). I wound up with 9th row seats with a fantastic view of the stage, just behind the VIP boxes. What a savings! I really worried that I might end up with a seat with an obstructed view or all the way in the last row of seats in the balcony with such a deep discount; but no, I landed rather well as it were. Definitely recommend for trying to get a discount, and the salespeople are pretty helpful, though they will try to up-sell you a dinner at restaurants that aren't doing very well in the city. Worst case, you pay the same as other places without the hassle of a special trip and say no to eating at a Todd English restaurant; best case, get a great seat at a great price. Sounds like an easy enough choice for me.
