Billy Crystal: 860 rush, lottery & cheap tickets
Every legitimate cheap-seat tactic for Billy Crystal: 860 on Broadway — with prices and the small print. No paywalled "premium tier" nonsense; just the public-facing routes ranked.
Billy Crystal: 860 is a 100-minute play at the 1,427-seat Imperial Theatre, with no intermission. It runs through January 3, 2027 — the closing date is set, so cheap-seat demand typically rises in the final weeks. Multiple cheap-seat routes are in play: an official lottery, and TKTS booth eligibility.
