Have you heard of ScoreBig? I honestly hadn’t until they reached out to me to find out if I’d like to review their program! My husband and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary a few weeks ago and since we were having a Chicago staycation downtown, I thought that would be the perfect time! You guys know that I am both a theatre critic and theatre fanatic, so when The Last Ship opened in Chicago, there was no question what show we wanted to see.

Because The Last Ship was new to Chicago, I knew that it might be difficult to save. I put in three different offers (each for a little more than the last) and none of them were accepted. That made sense because of the popularity of the show, so I tried not to let it phase me. My last offer was accepted and it was a discount off the original price of the tickets! I’m betting that this would be easier with an event that wasn’t a brand new Broadway In Chicago show, so don’t let my experience with that phase you. What I can say is that I found out that I had been rejected IMMEDIATELY, so I could keep putting in new offers. Not having to wait for hours for a response made my life much easier. I don’t have time to wait for this kind of thing.
If you’re looking for a way to see events or theatre on a budget, be sure to check out ScoreBig. It’s always good to have bonus options for saving!
