Does anyone know how to get discounts on the Blue Man Group tickets.

I need 5 between Christmas and New Year.

Thanks

Just thought I would add that I went to see this show in September. I was expected a lot but I was quite disappointed. The major thing I would say is that if you don't enjoy audience participation, and Mrs P17blo is particularly adverse to this, you will NOT enjoy this show.

For up to half of the show the 'men' are either in the audience or 'threatening' to be in the audience. And don't think you are safe in the middle of a section in the middle of a row as they climb over the seats to get to most of it. Whilst this doesn't bother me in the slightest I couldn't relax and I had a hand gripping my arm and leg (from Mrs P17blo) throughout the show.

Lastly, right at the end of the show, a mass, and I mean a mass, of 'toilet' paper is pulled over the heads of the audience. Due to the shear mass of the paper at some points it gets very claustrophobic and I saw one person having a panic attack.

None of this is given as warning so I thought I would.

If these do not give you cause for concern then the show itself if OK, not fab and certainly not a patch on La Nouba.

I think BNG is a love or hate thing. I have seen them twice, in Vegas and Orlando, I thought the Orlando show was better - and cheaper!

I agree with the paper ending, if your claustrophobic it could cause problems.

The blue men do come into the audience, but I get the feeling the people they pick to go on stage are plants,

As for discount tickets in Vegas, tik4tonight were offering them when I was there in June, prob is with this place you wont know what they are offering until the day. you save up to 50% I think and there are a few locations on the strip.

As for in advance- unsure! sorry!
