Disclosure: Although I’ve been compensated by TodayTix, all thoughts, opinions, and rabid ticket-reserving of Second City shows are entirely my own.

You live in Chicago. Ergo, you’ve seen- and dug- live theatre.
Oh wait, this is where I say that I’ve got something pretty great to tell my fellow Chicagoans.
TodayTix
The body count of great shows (at any given time, concerning any given subject, aimed at any given age range) is astounding. And paying less for great things is also, well, pretty great. (Still with me?) TodayTix has officially launched in Chicago, and they want to help you see more great theatre while paying less for great things. Here’s how it works:
- They’ve partnered with 25 theaters (including Chicago Children’s Theatre, Northlight, Victory Gardens, and Second City).
- Discounts of up to 50% are offered!
- It’s the first and only mobile app to offer ticket browsing and buying on the go.
- The average TodayTix user is 14 years younger than the traditional- cough,bluehair– theatergoer.
- And- my favorite bit o’ data- since its beta launch, TodayTix has sold twice as many tickets in Chicago than in NYC.
Doesn’t this seem like something you need to have on your phone as an intelligent, fiscally responsible, arts-loving member of Chicago (and surrounding ‘burbs) society? I know!
Pro tip: When you’re checking out those available shows (and you really, really should), you can search by title, by category, by location, and even by date. (Because sometimes, those of us with Type A personalities need something called “Today” Tix to let us plan a little bit ahead.)
Two more questions:
- Ready to try it out?
- And how do two tix to Mary Poppins (Nightblue Performing Arts at Stage 773) sound? (A $90 value in moolah, a priceless value on your kid’s face.)
Enter the (painless) rafflecopter below to win! This lightning-fast giveaway is practically perfect in every way, too.
