Here’s a deal that could get you a pretty good discount on tickets to Disney on Ice: Let’s Celebrate, which is coming to The Sprint Center March 27-30, 2014. ScoreBig offers discounted tickets to entertainment and sporting events nationwide. They’re not a ticket broker, but a company that works directly with venues, teams, and promoters to sell off excess tickets. It works sort of like the ‘Name Your Own Price’ option on Priceline.
Here’s how it works (it’s actually much easier than it looks):
- Go to the ScoreBig site.
- Sign up (it’s FREE)
- Select your tickets.
- Name how much you are willing to pay (see below for a hint on how to ensure that your bid is accepted). You’ll have to enter your credit card information at this time.
- If your bid is accepted, you’ll be notified instantly. Be sure to add any promo codes (see below) when you get to the checkout page.
- If your bid is rejected, you can place a new bid.
- Sometimes you’ll get a counter offer, which you are free to accept or reject.
- No additional fees are added. The amount of your accepted offer is what you pay. ScoreBig guarantees that all tickets are at least 10% below retail (even if you don’t have a promo code) and all tickets are 100% guaranteed.
*Hint: If you use a promo code and do the math, your offer will definitely be accepted. Example: If the ticket price is $100 and your promo code guarantees you $40 off, then enter a bid of $60 ($100 minus $40 = $60). The promo code guarantees that your offer of “$40 off” will be accepted.
Here are the promo codes (they’re only good on purchases of under $300):
- CHEAP40 (new customers only) will get you a $40 discount on a purchase of $90 or more (this code is exclusively for readers of Living on the Cheap and its sister sites)
- COLD15 will get you a $15 discount on a purchase of $90 or more (limited time offer, so act fast if you want to use this code)
- SCOREBIG10 (new members only) will get you a 10% discount on the ticket’s face value.
