Taking the family to the show

So you’re vacationing in Branson, you have a big family and want to see a show, but are freaking out about the cost. I can’t say I blame you – there is only hubby, me and the 17 year old son and I freak out about the cost too.  Have no fear – BOYB is here to save the day.  Several shows in Branson offer family passes, where 2 adults and up to a certain number of kids get in for one price, which is usually a lot cheaper than paying for separate tickets.  Here is a listing of several shows that offer family passes.  If the name of the show is underlined, you can click on it and go directly to that show's website to purchase tickets.

Duttons – Family pass not available on website; you must call the box office and request it

Presley’s Country Jubilee

Grand Country Theatre

Baldknobbers - Family pass not available on website; you must call the box office and request it

If the show you want to see isn't listed here, call the ticket office and see if they offer a family pass.  Once you purchase the pass, call the show’s ticket office and make reservations for the show you want to attend, especially if you have a large group or little ones that will need to sit close to the stage.

There are some shows with reduced ticket prices for teenagers (age 13-17).  I wish there were more.  If they’re not legal adults until they’re 18 (i.e., not able to vote or join the military), then it’s unfair to make them pay an adult price for a seat, in my opinion. This will be the last year that we will be able to take advantage of teenage ticket prices, as my son turns 18 in August. :(  Here’s a short list of shows with reduced prices for teenagers:

Sight and Sound (Jonah)

Shoji Tabuchi

Hamners’ Unbelievable Variety

Magnificent 7

Patsy Cline Remembered

Clay Cooper Theater (all shows except Haygoods)

Duttons
Starlite Theater (kids under 4 years old are free here)

Again, if the show you show you want to see isn't listed here, call the box office and inquire if they have a special deal for teenagers.

If the show you want to see doesn’t offer discounted tickets, visit Branson 2 for 1 Tickets to see if they're selling vouchers for the show.  They have over 75 shows on the list of shows they offer.  You can purchase 2 tickets for the price of one, and if you have an odd number of people in your party (like we do), you can purchase as many vouchers as you need.  Some shows will not let you make advance phone reservations for seats without having purchased the 2 for 1 vouchers first (the Duttons are one show that comes to mind). In addition, some of the radio station vouchers, Groupon and/or LivingSocial deals will allow you to buy more than one deal, but make sure you read the fine print to see if you can use more than one deal at once.   

That's all for now! Thanks for reading and see you soon!
