See Why Applause Theatre Service Is #1

When was the last time you purchased theatre tickets from a company you may have found on the Internet for a Broadway show in New York City? When you got off the phone, did you know exactly what you purchased, where the seats were in the theatre or if you received the best value for your money?

Applause Theatre Service, located in the heart of New York City offers the following 5 tips to make sure you get the most for your money when buying theatre tickets. They are:

1. Make sure you do business with a licensed New York City ticket reseller.
2. Ask how long they have been in business.
3. Ask what the cancellation/exchange policy is.
4. Ask for several possible seating options and prices so you can get the most value for your hard earned money.
5. Think about who you are talking with at the ticket service. Does it appear that you can "trust" the person you are buying tickets from?

There are many more things to look out for but the above 5 tips should give you a sense of who you might be doing business with. At Applause Theatre Service in New York, we have been in the ticket business for 21 years and serve the ticket needs of people seeing Broadway shows and events throughout the entire country.

A Day In The Life Of A Ticket Broker At Applause Theatre Service

Having been in the ticket business for almost ten years now I have seen and done it all. I first started out as a Ticket Rep with the Roundabout Theatre Company before eventually moving to Studio 54 to work in the box office as assistant manager. By moving from the phone room to the box office my relationship with the general public obviously changed dramatically. Instead of dealing with their questions and complaints over the phone I would now be forced to handle any problems or issues face to face. Now to me I don't care if it's face to face or over the phone when it comes to selling tickets. We are here to provide a service to the theatre going public. A service I think that we here at Applause Theatre and Entertainment do very well. Working in the box office I was pretty much limited to selling one show. Now don't get me wrong. Cabaret was a great show. But after 4 years it was time for a change. Thankfully I got a job here. Now I get to not only sell every show but I get to write about them through our website. Until by boss Rich Gladstone, AKA The Ticket Man told me about it I really didn't know that much about blogging. Now I do. It is hand's down the best way to get your message out there. So if you have a free moment and want to read up on the latest theatre news or want the best deal on tickets check out our website. And if you have any questions give us a call or send us a message on our new Live Chat Service.

Want tickets to any other show On or Off Broadway? Call Applause Theatre Service now. The best seats at the best prices. That's Applause.

Applause's Theatre Ticket Service In The News

December 23,2007

Dear http://www.applause-tickets.com/ friend,

This is just a quick note to friends, customers and fans of Applause's personal theatre ticket service to be on the lookout for a really interesting article to be written in New York Magazine. I'm not exactly sure of the issue date of the article but it will be about the ticket industry and changes since deregulation of ticket service charges came about in June 2007.

We hope you like reading about Applause in the news. If there is anything you need to know or want to ask a question about tickets in New York City, dining, or what cool things to do in the city before or after seeing a show, you can call us 7 days a week at 212-307-7050 or 1-800-451-9930.

Thank you for supporting our company for over 20 years. Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Sincerely,
Rich Gladstone
