Earlier we told you that “Equus” would preview on Broadway September 5, formally open on September 25, with tickets to the play becoming available as a special to Amex gold card holders this weekend. While that still holds true, tickets to the general public will go on sale April 26 via Telecharge.com. We’ve had many many requests for specific information on these ticket prices and details on the dates of the play starring Dan Radcliffe and Richard Griffiths. As of today, the prices and dates are as follows:
Tickets purchased online and by phone are subject to a per ticket service charge of $7.00 and a per order handling fee. Handling fees vary by how your tickets are delivered.
Wow those ticket prices!!! You certainly need to have a few quid if you’re thinking going to see a Broadway show. Guess it being round holiday time, the prices will be higher?
I also checked both the theatre and ticketcharge websites, and there does NOT appear to be any onstage seating, as there was in the West End production. Anyone else have other info on this?
I hope they have student rush or standing room tickets. Those are usually about $25 and you can get them the day of the show. I really want to see it, but I can’t afford those prices! I live in New York and I think it has been about 7 years since I bought a full price theatre ticket.
danradcliffe.com.uk is saying that Dan’s publicist is reporting that Dan will be available for all the listed performances.
There are a few boxes according to the seating chart and there are the “premium seats” which may still be on stage seating, but when I saw the London performance, I don’t know if I would want to be looking at the back of the actors. Guess we will know for sure on the 26th.
Does anyone have any advice about what would be the best seats to get? I’m so tempted to pick up some tickets the moment they’re available but those prices are steep. But still, it’s sort of a once in a life-time experience and it’d be great to see Dan live. I live only about 20 minutes from the city so I know I could get there, no problem.
Since I’m Dutch and a student I will never be able to see the play with Dan. Those prices are very steep. But what I’m wondering is. Where can you find the play to read it? Are there websites or do they just have them in the american libraries? Or has it been published as a novel?
Oh my god, sooooo expensive- $301.50?
I saw this in London- paid £37 (about $75) for the on stage seats (which I assume are premium seats). View was excellent, the actors didn’t always have their backs to us and it was definitely an original view.
Just so people know, the premium seats are NOT onstage seats. They would have clearly specified if the seats were onstage. Premium seats are in the center or sides of the orchestra, usually dead center, and they can vary from row A-J. They’re basically there for the tourists who are crazy enough to pay those types of prices. With a show this popular it can sell out extremely fast (like Wicked, Jersey Boys, etc.) and these seats are so expensive so they don’t get sold right away and so people who are really dying to see the show can still see it without having to resort to the scalpers.
Honestly, I’m doubting that they’ll have student rush for this, only because it might sell out! Otherwise you’d have to start to stand in the rush line at like 4am…something not to uncommon from Spring Awakening’s rush. They’ll most likely have standing room though, which is when the show sells out and you stand in the back of the orchestra.
If you were British you get the tickets cheap (weak dollar against the pound) But I think you have to really insane to fork out that kind of cash. I know its top quality theartre, but seriously, that much!? I wonder if Melissa will be trying to get her hands on tickets :p
The tickets go on sale on my birthday so I’m making someone, anyone buy me the tickets, I’m a poor student as well but this is truly once in a live time and I’ve read and adored the play. Anyone know what the deal with premium seats is?
And also, the preview on September 5th, is that free, will Dan be there?
The irony in all this is that I leave for university in England (partly inspired by HP) like Sept. 15 so will have to wait till December to see it!
This is Broadway. They don’t do student rush or on stage seating. No such thing. For that you go to off or off-off broadway shows.
Here is the seating chart. It is on the website linked above.

X-PEN-SIVE!!!!! Maybe too expensive for me… I’m already saving up for a life-long-dream trip to Ireland and other parts of Europe for my grandmother and I and thats quite a lump of cash to gather… now tickets up to 300+ dollars!? wow, I don’t know how good are my chances to see Equus in Broadway.. :o((
Wow, those prices are ridiculous! I might be in the US over that time (live in South Africa) but in rands, one of the normal Equus tickets would cost me over R1000! It’ll have to be the $65 one. I don’t know how they expect to make the play accessible to a wide audience by charging so much (but this applies to Broadway shows in general) ... theatre should be for the people!
