Goldstar is a discount website that offers discounts as much as half-price tickets for Broadway plays, concerts, theater, comedy, sporting events music, performing arts, special meals and even rodeos and wine tastings.

I have used Goldstar for discounted tickets for several years. If you use them once,  I doubt that you will ever pay full price for tickets again.

To view the events in your area, just create a free account HERE and then search by selecting your city. You can set up email alerts based upon your preferences plus on the site you can sort by date, category, venue, and even read reviews and get helpful tips from other members.

If you are going on vacation, be sure and check the discounted tickets available before you go. Once you are logged in to Goldstar, just use the drop down menu to change the city.

You get a confirmation email after you purchase your tickets and in most cases, you pick them up at Will Call. In some cases, the tickets are mailed to you. The tickets are provided by the venue, the same as if you bought them directly from their box office. There is a surcharge to use the service and it varies by event, but it is much cheaper than the surcharge you will pay through Ticketmaster or similar ticket selling companies.

Unless you are a frequent ticket-buyer, you don’t need the premium service called Red Velvet. Just stick with the free account.

Here are upcoming concerts and events with discounted tickets offered through Goldstar. They also offer local events for just a few dollars and sometime have free tickets to fill seats. It is a great site for cheap date nights!
