Play By Play

read morePlay-By-Play was created in 1999 and is one of the original seat-filler services. It was created by Hugh Hayes, a Tony Award winning producer who has worked in the New York Theater industry for over 25 years. All of the employees of Play-by-Play have backgrounds in the NYC entertainment industry and know the business backwards and forward. It is not only their job to know, but their passion. We are able to offer you unique deals not available to the general public or any other organization. Not only do we offer a great variety of shows and performances for free we also get exclusive discounts to entertainment all over the city that is made exclusively available to Play-By-Play members.

This person can pickup tickets independent of the other member and vice versa. The second name is not required at this time and can be added later or not at all.

read moreMembership comes with many privileges. When shows don't fill all their seats, they give tickets to Play-by-Play to help fill the house (in showbiz lingo, it's known as "papering the house"). We are currently looking for members who are enthusiastic, dependable, well dressed and truly enjoy a variety of entertainment possibilities. Our members find that even discounted tickets at 50% off are still too expensive for them to see as much theater as they'd like and they recognize the privilege of being a seat-filler.

read moreA seat-filler is a person who fills in an empty seat during an event. Our members help fill in unsold seats for theatre, music, film, sporting events, dance performances and other live events. The producers of the event give complimentary tickets to the seat-filling organization, which then pass them on to their members. The producers get a full audience and therefore a better experience for the paying patrons (and talent), while the seat-filler is able to see an event for a small service charge.
