Big deals on big Toronto Theatre Shows. Is it possible?
If your desire is to see one of the big theatre productions that are on in Toronto than it’s less likely you’re going to be able to get a discounted ticket.
Tickets for many of the “big” shows sell out in advance. Unless you plan ahead and purchase your tickets before, you are probably going to have buy from a third-party ticket seller, like Stubhub, which means you could end up paying a little more than the original ticket price or a little less if you buy your ticket close to the show’s start time or just a few minutes after.
Depending on the day and time of the show you want to see you could catch a deal on tickets to a Toronto theatre production. Here’s how:

Step B: Call the theatre and ask the following:
1. Do you have Rush Tickets?
Sometimes, on the day of the performance, discounted rush tickets are available for purchase at noon. The most likely days when this will occur are Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
2. Do you have Pay-What-You-Can Tickets?
Sunday is usually the day when these types of discount theatre tickets are available. They are available on a first come, first serve basis and normally only at the box office.
3. Do you have Group Discount Tickets?
If you’re visiting Toronto as part of a group, you can probably get a break on the price of your ticket to a theatre show. The chances even greater if your group consists of 10 or more people.
