Some people mark 40 with cake. For Rachel Elliott-Golema, a AAA employee, member and lifelong Broadway fan, it meant a round-trip flight to New York City and a long-awaited night on Broadway. 

While browsing the discounts and special offers available through the AAA Member Offers site, she quickly realized her dream trip might be more within reach than she thought. 

“I’ve loved Broadway since I was a little kid,” Rachel says. “’Into the Woods’ was the first big musical I ever watched on PBS, and I’ve always wanted to see a professional production in New York.” Seeing that the Broadway production was playing with seats and discounts available to AAA Members, Rachel shares that, “the timing just couldn’t have been more perfect.” 

As a first-time visitor to New York City, Rachel quickly discovered a challenge familiar to anyone trying to secure Broadway tickets: cost. “I was looking at all the ticket websites online, and even the cheapest tickets I could find were out of my price range and for the very back balcony,” she remembers. “I knew Broadway tickets were expensive, but that still felt like a lot, especially for my first time in New Yor

Discovering AAA’s Broadway discount tickets

Rachel was familiar with AAA Tickets, primarily for its discounts on theme parks, sports games and movie tickets. “I didn’t realize AAA offered Broadway tickets as well,” she says. “I was just exploring the system and saw that we did, and I got so excited!” 

Online thru AAA, Rachel found two seats in the second row of “Into the Woods” on Broadway for significantly less than the price of the rear balcony seats for that same performance on other ticket websites.

The Broadway experience via AAA

On the night of the show, Rachel arrived dressed to the nines, donning a gown and high heels and settled into her second-row seats. “I pretended I was on the fanciest date ever,” she laughs.  

“The energy of Broadway, the music, the staging; it was everything I hoped for and more.” Seeing a production she’d loved for decades live on stage, with her prime seats, made for a most magical, unforgettable night.  

AAA’s unmatched ease and convenience

AAA Tickets did more than just provide affordable premium seats; it simplified the entire process. “It was so much easier than using other ticketing platforms,” Rachel says. “I didn’t have to download an app or worry about scanning codes. I just received an email with all the information I needed. It was as simple as one click, and I was set.”  

The impact of the experience has extended beyond the theater and her celebratory trip to New York. “As an AAA employee, I feel proud knowing I can help other people have a similar experience. It made me realize how much AAA can enhance travel experiences in ways members might not even expect.”

AAA discounts that inspire travel

Rachel’s Broadway adventure also highlights a unique opportunity for travelers: planning trips around experiences that matter most to you. It wasn’t just about the show; “AAA Tickets was the spark that made me plan the entire trip. It turned my birthday into a true celebration.”

There’s so much to see and do in New York, and AAA helps make sure you don’t miss a thing.”
