| What is the School Theatre Ticket Program?
The School Theatre Ticket Program makes available exchange coupons that can be
used to purchase tickets to Broadway and off-Broadway shows and some ballet and opera
performances at a discount. These coupons can be used to purchase the discounted tickets
at the box office, by mail, and, in most instances, by phone. For example, by using an
exchange coupon, one can usually purchase a $100 orchestra seat ticket to a Broadway
musical for just $55; a balcony seat that sells for $40 may often be purchased for just $20,
and so on.
The coupons are available to current and former students and faculty (both full and part-time)
and members of the College's staff. The person obtaining the coupons may purchase as many tickets
as he wishes--- tickets for himself , family and his friends, for example.
Discount coupons are available all year round, even during school vacations and summer months.
Therefore, students, faculty, and staff can often take advantage of their vacation times to attend
the shows in New York.
Because the School Theatre Ticket Program makes tickets available at discount prices, there
are restrictions that apply. For example, some shows do not allow these discount coupons to be
used to purchase seats in the first five rows of the orchestra. Other shows restrict the
evenings/days that the coupons can be used. The restrictions vary from show to show and even
vary for the same show from month to month. The restrictions are printed on the coupon itself.
A coupon doesn't guarantee the holder a seat. For example, if you show up at the box office and are
told the performance has sold out, this coupon cannot get you a seat.
Smash hit shows which are selling out every night of the week at full price do not have a need to offer
themselves through the School Theatre Ticket Program.
Below is a list of the shows for which we currently have discount coupons. If you are interested in receiving these coupons,
please see Joe Clark. His office is located in the Campus Center, Room 208. He is available between 7:30 AM and 3:30 PM Monday through Friday.
You may phone him at 740-0429 or e-mail him at jclark@luzerne.edu if you have any questions. |
