Free Events, Free Things to Do in New York City!  Read More
Club Free Time is able to obtain complimentary (free) tickets for its members when a show or concert has some unsold seats and producers would like to create that magical 'full house' feel. Our members enjoy theater (off-Broadway and sometimes a Broadway show), opera, classical music and jazz concerts, dance performances, children shows, comedy clubs, cabaret, and more.

Off Broadway, being less commercial than Broadway, offers multiple opportunities to experience great artistic works and so we put lots of efforts in obtaining complimentary tickets for off Broadway shows for our members.

Am I really only paying $25/year for this? I have been telling people about it and they told me I must be mistaken and that is the monthly charge! You guys rock. What a great site. The best deal since free oxygen. Thanks!
