What's the best way to get discount tickets to Broadway shows?

I'm a big theater fan, but Broadway prices are way out of my budget ($120 per ticket?!), so I'm looking for the best way to get good Broadway tickets that won't cost a fortune. Any ideas? (I've tried the half-price booth, but I hate the unpredictability, and unfortunately I don't qualify for student tickets.)

1. I go to a lot broadway shows myself and i have found that when it gets close to the event and they have lot's of tickets the prices go down a lot in price. I use http://www.wiztickets.com myself and use this discount code WIZD it will give 5% off not a lot but when you buy your tickets close to the date it will come out to a great deal. I hope this helps.
2. Discount codes are definitely the best way to go for getting deep discounts on Broadway tickets. You can get deals just as good as at the half-price booth (sometimes even better), but you don't have to wait until the last minute to buy your tickets. These codes are all over the place - email lists, snail mail ads, and especially online. www.nytix.com has the best selection, and you can see a list of all the discount codes they have here http://www.nytix.com/Links/Broadway/listofcurrentshows.html. Once you get the code, you have the option of buying your tickets online, by phone, or in person at the box office.
3. This may overwhelm you, the following are excellent sources for discount ticket coupons: http://www.playbill.com - Sign up for Playbill's email newsletter and get several offers a week on great ticket deals. Also can get deals from their website as well. http://www.seasonofsavings.com - Sign up for SoS and get emails for great deals and go on website for more! http://www.hitshowclub.com - AAA member discount tickets http://www.broadwaybox.com - Puts all coupon codes for tickets on one site! Good luck! EDIT: If you're one of the following: full-time students, full-time teachers, union members, retirees, civil service employees, staff members of not-for-profit organizations, performing arts professionals, members of the armed forces or clergy: you qualify for a TKTS membership, which is $28 a year and you get access to TKTS tickets online for $20-$36 a ticket. Catch is you don't know the seat assignments until you get to the show.
