The one thing that New York, San Francisco, and Chicago all have in common, besides being amazing US cities, is that they all have theater lotteries. That means that if you go online, you can enter into a lottery to get incredibly discounted tickets that would normally be very expensive.

The way that the lotteries work is almost always the same: you go online, sign up for the different lotteries, and then you can start entering for a chance to win! The only catch is that you can only do them for shows about 2 days in advance, but if are flexible, it’s a great gig!

Depending on the city you’re visiting, the shows that are offered for the lotteries will vary. One show that is consistent is Hamilton since normally it’s impossible to get tickets, and even when you do, they are several hundreds of dollars per seat. Instead, if you do win the lottery, you will pay $10 per seat, though you can only get 2 seats per entry. The other good thing about the lottery is that you’re there multiple days you can continue entering! So if you want to take a risk with a high-reward, look into the theater lottery!
