American Express cardholders can buy Broadway tickets through the Amex Experiences portal. You can purchase Amex Presale Tickets™ before shows are available to the public, or you can buy Preferred Seating during the normal sale period.
Debit cards are not eligible, but most other Amex cards are. If you have the The Platinum Card® from American Express, you can also use the Platinum Concierge Service, where Amex employees purchase tickets for you right when they go on sale.
How to Get American Express Broadway Tickets
- Preferred Seating: American Express sets aside a block of seats at popular Broadway shows. Amex guarantees the show’s producers it will sell its full allotment or buy any that go unpurchased.
- Preferred Seating Code: You need this to purchase preferred seats through com. The code is the 10-digit customer service phone number you see on the back of your card.
- Presale Tickets: Amex cardholders can buy tickets to certain events before they go on sale to everyone else. No code is required to make a purchase on the Amex Experiences platform, but you have to check out with an American Express card.
- Eligible Cards: Anyone with an American Express card is eligible for pre-sale tickets and only eligible Amex cards offer Preferred Seating. You cannot use a debit card, though.
- Platinum Card Concierge: American Express Platinum cardholders have access to 24/7 assistance with tasks of all types. This could include purchasing Broadway tickets on your behalf as soon as they go on sale. Call the number you see on the back of your card and follow the automated prompts to reach the concierge service. There’s no charge for the service. But you’re responsible for any purchases you authorize the concierge to make.
If you don’t have an Amex card yet and you’re just looking for discounted Broadway tickets, there are a few other methods you can use. For example, there are discount sites like CheapTickets and BroadwayBox. You can also go to a TKTS Discount Booth in New York City, where you can get cheap tickets on same-day and next-day performances. And there are many other discount sellers, too – shop around for the best prices.
