Sticking with the West End production of Cursed Child‘s tradition, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway has announced its very first round of Friday Forty tickets!

The first round will release on March 9th, and from then on, every Friday at 1:00pm ET, 40 tickets for every performance the following week will be released for the very best seats at the Lyric Theatre, at a discounted rate of just $40 ($20 per part).

Information from the official press release is as follows:

“Entries will be accepted via TodayTix each Friday from 12:01 AM ET until 1:00 PM ET for the following week’s performances. Winners will be notified between 1:00 PM ET and 5:00 PM ET.

Winners pay $40 total ($20 per Part) per person, securing a seat for both Part One and Part Two in consecutive performances the following week. Winners are able to purchase a maximum of two tickets for both Part One and Part Two in one transaction. Winners can pickup tickets at the box office on the day of their performance.

To ensure that as many people as possible have the chance to access these low price tickets, they are only available to buy via the official website, TodayTix.com or the TodayTix App. It is not possible to purchase these tickets in person at the Lyric Theatre or anywhere else.”

Ticket registration and purchasing has been just as high demand as the opening of Cursed Child on West End, and as rehearsals began in January, we’re sure the team are raring to go! The production begins preview performances on March 16, 2018 and the official opening is April 22, 2018 at the fully renovated Lyric Theatre (214 West 43rd Street, New York, NY).

Winning 22 major awards in the UK, and winning the most awards in the history of the Olivier Awards, we’re sure the show will have the same impact in the U.S.!
