For the next week starting today, a number of live performance venues in Houston are offering Buy One, Get One Free tickets to jumpstart the 2022-23 arts season.
In pre-pandemic years past, Houston theaters offered a one-day only, in-person chance to buy tickets for the coming season at a discount.
This year, two things have changed: besides the additional days (August 22-29) there’s no “in-person” requirement. Instead go to HoustonTheaterWeek.com and type in the promo code HTXARTS.
