1/2 price tickets
Get discounted tickets to all kinds of live entertainment by joining Goldstar, a free Web site that uses its hefty membership ranks to cut deals with shows. Goldstar has half a million members so they can fill the house.
Joining requires you to share an email address, password and one to three zip codes where you want to see events. You check up to 13 categories of events that you are interested in, including theater, dance, comedy, concerts and sporting events. The site works with venues in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, DC Metro area, New York, Boston, San Diego, and Las Vegas. Read more about how it works.
Like Ticketmaster, Goldstar charges a service fee per ticket. When I joined it offered orchestra seats to Wicked (usually $98) for $60 with a $3.75 per ticket fee. Tickets to a pro volleyball tournament in Long Beach were $10 to $20 (orig $20 to $40).

Wish they had this service in the Denver area ... am hoping it'll happen before too long.
I always check with Goldstar when there is an event I want to attend. They send a weekly update each Tuesday, but may have additional events on the website itself.
Why would you share your email password with anyone - shouldn't this be guarded?
