$5 Discount for TDF Membership
One of the best ways to get discounted tickets to the theater in New York City is membership in the Theatre Development Fund (better known as TDF).
Membership in TDF costs $30 for one year BUT with Maxamoo’s discount code for $5 off, you can join TDF for $25.
The catch, of course there is one, is that membership in TDF is only available to select groups of people. See Who is eligible for TDF membership? below.
The discount code is MAXAMOO14. To join TDF visit TDF.ORG.
This discount offer is valid for first-time TDF members only and cannot be combined with any other offer. The discount code expires December 31, 2014.
How does TDF work?
TDF runs a website that sells discounted tickets to theater in New York City. TDF sells tickets to all types of productions in all sizes of theater. With membership you can sign-in to the TDF members-only website, browse the shows and dates available, and purchase tickets online.
TDF usually offers the biggest discounts available, typically bigger than TheaterMania and BroadwayBox, and roughly equivalent to the TKTS booths (also operated by TDF), where you can buy discount tickets in person but with a far more convenient online method for purchasing tickets.
Can I get TDF discounts without being a TDF member?
The only exception to the membership requirement is TDF’s “Off-Off@$9” program. Off-Off@$9 sells tickets to shows performed in small venues with full price tickets that cost between $10 and $20. The productions are often of new and adventurous works. TDF membership is not required to purchase Off-Off@$9 tickets. More info on Off-Off@$9.
Is TDF different from TKTS?
TDF and TKTS are owned and operated by the same non-profit organization. The primary differences are:
TDF

– Purchase tickets in-advance
TKTS
