What is a Box Office?

Question

The directions from the site where I bought my tickets for a Broadway show say "You can pick up e-tix at the theatre's box office approximately one-half hour before curtain on the day of the performance."

I know it sounds silly, but what is a box office? Is that just the person out front of the theatre who I just show ID to?

Answer 1

Almost every Broadway theatre has the box office located within the lobby of the theatre. When you arrive just enter the open doors and you will  most likely see a couple windows. One will be where you can purchase tickets and the other will be will call. Go to the window marked will call and they will have your tickets. Just be sure to bring your e-ticket print out and ID in case they have any problems locating them.

Answer 2

It's the same place where you would purchase your tickets.

Answer 3

It's the place where they sell the tickets. Usually it is a booth out in front of the theatre. Yes, where the person is sitting behind that window.

Answer 4

Its the guy in the box who sells you tickets.  Thats like his office.  This guys office is just a box.  A box is his office.  Box is office. Box office.  I hope you now understand what a box office is and that you can easily recognize one by yourself.
