Giving tickets

Why give tickets?

A show is a gift for the person who says they need nothing. It has a date, so it gets used, and you can go with them. The lists here cover 1,307 holiday performances in 152 cities between now and December 31.

Are these prices current?

Each one is the lowest listed seat when we read the ticket feed on November 12, and the pages are rebuilt every day. Prices move by the hour, so the See seats button opens the performance's page on PicksByEvent, where the Tickets button shows what is on sale now.

Why is my city missing?

A city gets a page when at least two different holiday shows there have seats listed on the feed. Smaller cities come and go as shows are announced and sell out.
