Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is easily one of THE hottest plays on Broadway right now. Tickets are harder to find than the correct answers to Professor Snape’s potions exams! More seats were recently released for performances in the upcoming six weeks, so on a whim I decided to see what was available. To purchase two tickets for both Parts 1 and 2, I would have needed to cough up a ridiculous $756, before fees. That was the least expensive option I could find! Needless to say I didn’t purchase any tickets yesterday.
I did however, find out about The Friday 40. And this is quite the offer! TODAYTIX holds a ticket lottery every Friday for tickets to the following week’s shows. Here’s how it works, from the TODAYTIX website:
Every Friday, we release 40 tickets for some of the very best seats in the theater at $40 ($20 per Part) for every performance for the following week. Submit your entry from Friday at 12:01AM ET to Friday at 1:00PM ET. Winners will be notified between 1:00PM ET and 5:00PM ET on Friday and will have one hour to claim tickets from the time of notification. Winners pay $40 total per guest ($20 per Part).
Which means if you win, you and a friend get to see both parts for a total of $80! That’s amazing. As I’m writing this on Friday morning, today’s Friday 40 is still open! If you see this before 1:00pm ET today, head to the TODAYTIX website and sign up for the ticket lottery. You’ll know before dinner time today if you’ve won!

One important thing to keep in mind about Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is that this play is two separate performances. From the TODAYTIX website: Because of the epic nature of the story, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child unfolds in two Parts. When you purchase tickets to see the show you will receive a pair of tickets per guest, one for each Part. You will either see the Parts on the same day or consecutive evenings. (There is an option to deselect the Thursday/Friday choice in the ticket lottery, which is the only option that could result in consecutive evening tickets.)
Good luck! (Maybe some Felix Felicis is in order?!?) And let me know if you win. I’ll be Slytherin green with envy!
