Broadway, Tickets, Tours, Attractions
There are so many fantastic New York City gift ideas that will bring a smile to anyone who lives here, is moving to NYC, starting college in NYC or just visiting for a few days. You can treat your loved ones of any age to almost anything in NYC, like foodie gift cards, Broadway gift cards, museum sleepover, NYC VIP Experiences, Skip the Line Privileges, cruises, cooking classes and so much more.
Most of our top choices are gift cards, because they are the most versatile, but get ready to light up the face of the recipient as you treat them to front row Broadway Tickets, a VIP tour of the Empire State Building, a rock concert, a romantic cruise around Manhattan or free stay at a hotel.
Broadway Gift Cards
Ticketmaster Gift Cards
There is probably no more versatile gift in NYC than a Ticketmaster Gift Card or StubHub Gift Card. Ticketmaster (TM) is a primary seller, while StubHub is a reseller.
Ticketmaster (TM) is the primary ticket seller for all of the following:
- Concerts – almost every NYC concert venue sells their tickets through Ticketmaster: Madison Square Garden, Barclays Center, Beacon Theater, Radio City Music Hall, MetLife Stadium and many of the smaller venues.
- Sports – since all our teams play at those same venues, a TM gift card is good for the Yankees, Mets, Rangers, Islanders, Giants, Jets, Knick, Nets and the US Open.
- Broadway – about half of all Broadway Theaters use Ticketmaster. So, if you’re looking for a gift card for a particular show, you’ll have to confirm in which theater it is playing. All NYC theaters use either Ticketmaster or Telecharge to sell their tickets.
All the Disney shows are sold through TM. You can check which shows (current shows include: Hamilton, MJ, Shucked, Aladdin, Lion King, Wicked, Rockettes, Six and more) are sold through Ticketmaster by going to the Ticketmaster Broadway page and checking each show. If the link to buy tickets stays on the Ticketmaster site, then a gift card will work for that show.
About Ticketmaster Gift Cards:
Gift cards can be sent as a physical card or as an E-Gift Card. The Gift Card has no expiration date. The Gift Card can be used towards the purchase of tickets, parking, VIP packages and some merchandise. Ticketmaster Gift Cards can be used for events in Canada and the United States only. You may not use Ticketmaster Gift Cards to buy resale tickets or Platinum tickets.
StubHub Gift Cards
StubHub sells tickets to all the same sports, concerts and Broadway shows as Ticketmaster, but they are a reseller. Their prices are higher, but their seats and availability selection are significantly better. This means, if you know you want to buy your giftee an Orchestra Seat to a popular Broadway show, or great seats to the Yankees, a StubHub Gift Card will provide you with tons of options, especially since TM does not allow the use of Gift Cards on their own reseller site. StubHub is NYC’s most trusted reseller and all tickets are verified and guaranteed.
TKTS Gift Certificates
TKTS Broadway Gift Certificates – TKTS has several booths around NYC, the two main ones in Times Squar and Lincoln Center. They sell same-day discount tickets to a wide variety of Broadway and Off Broadway productions. TKTS gift certificates provide the recipient with flexibility to choose which show they want to see and when they want to see it. TKTS gift certificates, available from $25-$150, work like cash at all TKTS Discount Booths so you can give the gift of theatre for special occasions any time of the year.
More Broadway Gift Cards:
- Telecharge Gift Certificates – these are just like the Ticketmaster Gift Cards for Broadway Shows. Telecharge is the ticketing agent for at least 11 Broadway Theaters in NYC.
