How to Organize & Sell Tickets for a Musical or Broadway Show

Setting the stage for a sold-out run
Putting on a musical is a monumental task that requires perfect timing, both on stage and off. Before the curtain rises, you need a ticketing partner that understands the unique demands of theatre production. Eventbrite provides a flexible platform to manage everything from a short run at a local playhouse to a multi-city tour.
Here’s how to get your show ready for its audience:
Map Your House: Use our reserved seating tools to create a detailed seating chart of your venue, from orchestra to balcony.
Create Ticket Tiers: Easily set up different prices for matinees, evening shows, preview nights, or VIP packages. This helps you sell musical theater tickets at the right price for every seat.
Offer Group Rates: Set up special pricing for schools or tour groups using custom ticket types and promo codes.
Streamline Box Office Sales: Use the Eventbrite Organizer app with Tap to Pay for seamless at-the-door sales and merchandise.
