Ticket counters offer both discounted and normal-priced Broadway tickets. Tickets with a discount can be bought only for definite shows on the day of the performance. They are called rush tickets' and 'standing room only tickets' and their price is $20-25.

Almost all good brokers belong to National Association of Ticket Brokers or Better Business Bureau.
