Your Student ID is worth $!

Eric:
That's right. Even if you are out of school, hold onto that student ID because it can help you get discount tickets to Broadway and off-Broadway shows. Each show is unique with their separate rules. However a student ID can usually snag you a ticket for around $20-$35 which is worth its weight in gold if you ask me considering a ticket now can cost a patron over $100.

Note that student rush tickets are different from lottery tickets. As the name suggests, lottery tickets are limited discount tickets available to anyone whose name is drawn at a lottery for that day's performance. Student rush tickets are limited discount tickets for those with student IDs only, available on the day of performance and are sold on a first come first serve basis- usually when the box office opens and subject to availability of course.

Has your student ID expired? I don't want to say anything shady....so I'll just write it: My ID has been expired for years but I have yet to have anyone question me on it (knock on wood). Regardless, you can ask box offices about their student rush tickets and policies or you can check out our "Theater Tickets" heading on the homepage for more student discount information.
