TDF Membership

Enjoy the Benefits of Selling Your Tickets to TDF Members.

Even the most successful shows occasionally have seats to fill. TDF enables productions to gain revenue and reach enthusiastic theatre fans by offering discount tickets to our 100,000-plus members.

Who Can Participate

• Fully-produced, scripted theatre productions operating under an Actors’ Equity Association contract (Production, Off Broadway, LORT, LOA or Mini) with an original, full-price ticket of $21 or more.
• Dance and music events with an original, full-price ticket of $21 or more.
• AEA Showcase productions are often eligible to participate in TDF’s Go Off-Off and Beyond program.

How It Works

There is no cost to producers to participate in this program. TDF is pleased to assume all costs to market, promote and fulfill ticket orders.

The production is paid a fixed per-ticket rate for all tickets sold through the program. This price varies according to the nature of the production’s contract with the Actors’ Equity Association and the cost of full-price seats.

Tickets to your production are sold on TDF’s Members-only, password-protected website. On the morning of each performance or event, a manifest of all ticket buyers is sent to your box office (or Saturday morning for weekend performances).TDF pays each box office weekly, and checks are mailed on the Tuesday following a week of performances.

Additional important guidelines:

• TDF requests at least 10 tickets per performance and asks that offers be submitted at least one week prior to the first performance listed.
• For all productions, all minimums and/or covers must be waived for TDF ticket holders.
• TDF reserves the right to stop selling your tickets when considerably lower-priced or free tickets are widely available through other ticketing services.
• All sales are guaranteed. You must reserve the ticket allocation supplied to TDF and honor all requests for tickets already sold by TDF. If the tickets have not been sold, you may request that we reduce the original allocation given.
• TDF does not sell the following: staged readings, lectures, discussions, etc.
