We have seats at all price points. The best seats at the best prices will always be available at the box office or through BroadwayDirect – both have the same inventory of tickets. If you buy your tickets in person at the box office you can save the service fees. Please remember that, if you buy tickets through brokers or third party sellers, there will always be higher markups tacked on, with no guarantee of seat location. NEVER buy tickets on the street – they may be counterfeit, and if so, will not be honored at the theatre.
Please be advised that each patron must have a ticket to enter the theatre. The Gershwin Theatre box office cannot print tickets purchased from a third-party website.
Orchestra seats are on the main level of the theatre.
Front Mezzanine seats are at the front of the upper level of the theatre (Rows A-E). On a big spectacular show like WICKED, they provide a great view of the whole production. Be aware that there is a low safety bar in front, which means the front row may not be ideal for short patrons or children.
Mid Mezzanine seats are in the middle of the upper level of the theatre (Rows F-G) – however, there are a limited number of these seats available and they sell out quickly. These also have a great view of the whole production.
Rear Mezzanine seats are in the back of the upper level of the theatre (Rows H-M); however, again, there are a limited number of these seats available, and they also sell out quickly. These also have a great view of the whole production, and are always the most economical choice.
Please note that, within the range of tickets shown, the lower prices are generally on weekday performances (Monday through Thursday and Sunday evenings) and non-holiday weeks. During the summer, the lower prices are generally at matinee performances (Wednesday and Saturday).
Stadium seats are in the back half of the orchestra of the theatre, and start as low as $115 on weeknights for certain performances. These have great sightlines due to the angle of the seating, and are great for families with children. Many people say that these seats are the best deal at WICKED.
Premium seats are the best seats in the house and are generally in the first twenty rows center orchestra (or just off the center aisles on either side), or the first two center rows of the front mezzanine. They are the most expensive seats, but the orchestra premiums provide the best view of faces and production details, and the front row mezzanine premiums provide the best view of the whole spectacle of WICKED.
Premium tickets range from $192 – $262, excluding holiday performances.
Even when the show is sold out, there are usually premium seats available right up to the day of the performance.
Tickets go on sale approximately 6 months before the performance. You will get the best price if you buy in advance – as the performance date approaches and availability tightens, the prices will often go up, so plan ahead if you can.
We encourage guests to purchase tickets in advance to ensure the best seating locations at the best prices; however seats remain on sale until performance time, based on availability.
Please go to our ticket calendar and select the best availability filter to see which performances have best availability.
The show is open-ended. Tickets are currently on sale through May 12, 2024.
Tickets now are distributed electronically for entry.
