Blue Man Group Tickets: Discounts Available

Posted by Leah Ingram Expired Comments Off

Feb 272013

I remember when, years ago, the Blue Man Group got its start at a downtown New York City theater. At the time I had no idea what the show was about, but boy those blue guys sure did look interesting.

As you likely know, now the Blue Man Group has expanded to become its own entertainment franchise–my own daughter saw the Blue Man Group show, not in New York City, but at Universal Studios Orlando–and I’ve never gotten around to seeing the show.

Now that Blue Man Group is coming to Philadelphia next month, I’m hoping that will change.

And readers of Philly on the Cheap can get discount tickets to the show at the Merriam Theater.

If you click through this affiliate link to Goldstar, you’ll be able to save as much as $25 per ticket.

There are three dates next week for which discount tickets are available. Here are the details:

Tue, Mar 5 @ 7:30pm
Wed, Mar 6 @ 7:30pm
Thu, Mar 7 @ 7:30pm

Blue Man Group will be at the Merriam Theater, located at 250 South Broad Street in Center City, Philadelphia.

Right now I’m working on an article for a national magazine on how to save when you go on vacation. One piece of advice that I’m sure to include is stocking up on Groupon, LivingSocial, Travelzoo and other deals before you leave for the destination you are visiting.

Discount Tickets to Philadelphia Auto Show 2013

Camp Jeep debuts in Philly at the Philadelphia Auto Show 2013.

Car enthusiasts: are you planning to attend the Philadelphia Auto Show at the Pennsylvania Convention Center next week? If so, I have a way for you to get discount tickets.

I haven’t been to an auto show since 1995 when we were living in the Detroit area and looking for a different kind of indoor entertainment during the brutal Michigan winter. I had such a good time at that auto show that I’m surprised I haven’t been back. Well, actually, having two kids and then moving from Michigan to the Philly area two years later probably had something to do with it.

Anyway, as far as those discount tickets go, there are two ways that you can find savings.

Weekday discount coupons can be picked up at a new car and truck franchised dealer in the Philly area. These dealers include the Fred Beans family of car dealerships in Doylestown, Faulker car dealerships in Trevose, and Cherry Hill Volvo among others. Coupons can be redeemed at the box office at the Pennsylvania Convention Center for a $3.00 admission discount to the Auto Show.
The Auto Show has again partnered with McDonald’s restaurants to circulate discount coupons of $2.00 off the regular adult admission price of $12.00. Show information will be featured on the restaurants’ tray liners and in the Entertainment Value Centers located inside area McDonald’s. The Auto Show will donate $1.00 from each discount coupon redeemed at the show from Jan. 21-25 to the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House Charities.

One of the firsts at this year’s Philadelphia Auto Show is Camp Jeep, a unique interactive off-road experience within a 25,000 sq. ft. exhibit of Jeep vehicles directly on the show floor.

Toyota will be offering a similar experience. Teams of professional drivers and trained product specialists will take participants on a fun, informative and ultra-interactive demonstration drive through a more than 31,000 sq. ft. course.

Other auto manufacturers at the show include Cadillac, Chevrolet/Buick/GMC, Hyundai, Kia, and Subaru.

The 2013 Philadelphia Auto Show, produced and owned by the Automobile Dealers Association of Greater Philadelphia, rolls into the Pennsylvania Convention Center at 11th and Arch Streets in Center City on Jan. 19-27. Admission costs between $6 and $12.

Hot New Groupon for Great Wolf Lodge Discounts

Posted by Leah Ingram Expired Comments Off

Jan 032013

Great Wolf Lodge is a great place to go as a family, especially during the cold winter months when you wouldn’t normally think about attending a water park. I know that our family has been to one of these indoor waterparks in Virginia over Christmas break, and being in a bathing suit when there is snow outdoors feels so wrong but feels so right.

Today, Groupon is launching huge Great Wolf Lodge discounts to 10 locations nationwide. One is definitely in the Philadelphia area.

My sources tell me that, depending on where you live and what kinds of cookies you have set in your browser, you could find Great Wolf Lodge discounts via Groupon at the following Great Wolf Lodge locations:

Rates will depend on the location you choose, but I’m hearing you can expect hundreds of dollars in savings!
From what I can tell, travel on this Groupon is good through mid-February.

Dec 052012

Sesame Place is open for the holidays!

Whenever I drive my daughters to the Oxford Valley Mall during the warm-weather months, I avoid the roadway that runs by Sesame Place in Langhorne, Pa. Because invariably it is backed up with traffic from all the families visiting.

Imagine my surprise when, upon taking my daughters to the mall one recent December evening–and driving by Sesame Place–I ended up traffic.

Turns out Sesame Place is open for the holidays and has been transformed into a Christmas spectacle full of lights, live shows, and a parade of favorite furry friends.

Sound like something you’d like to take your kids, to? I can help you get Sesame Place tickets to “A Very Furry Christmas” at a discount.

Discounted Disney on Ice Tickets

Posted by Leah Ingram Discounts Comments Off

Nov 282012

I remember the days of Disney on Ice when my daughters were young. They loved the Disney stories–especially those that involved princesses–and when Disney on Ice was performing nearby, we would go see the show. I remember taking them to see one show at the Meadowlands in New Jersey and another at the Wells Fargo Center.

Speaking of the Wells Fargo Center, right now I can help you get discounted Disney on Ice Tickets for the late December, early January shows of Disney on Ice presents Rockin Ever After at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. I’m sure you’ve seen the billboards on 95 and the commercials on TV for this show.

Through my relationship with ticketing site Goldstar, you can secure tickets for less than $15. If you’ve ever been to any ice show, you know that’s a good deal!

Here are the dates/times/prices with discounted tickets available:

Here is Goldstar’s description of the show:

The all-new Disney on Ice family spectacular Rockin’ Ever After skates into Philadelphia as part of its world-premiere North American tour. In a new twist on fairytale fun, your favorite Disney characters compete in a talent show to determine who will be the next superstar in comical segments featuring Ariel and Sebastian, Rapunzel and Flynn, the Beast and Belle, and introducing Merida from Disney*Pixar’s Brave, in her skating debut. The upbeat music and energetic choreography will have both you and your kids singing and dancing along with beloved characters. It’s an entertaining music and dance mash-up that incorporates all your favorite Disney moments in a fresh new way.
