<p>as Berkeley mom said, sometimes the cultural reps at colleges have discounted (often heavily) or free tickets. RPC also discounts tickets. Wicked was available for super cheap on campus. In this case its a first come first serve, so jump on them.</p>
<p>Id recommend looking around the downtown venues. Sometimes they have student packages or group discounts. </p>
<p>In my case, a movie is not as exciting as I can watch nit in my room with friends. And pause it / use my laptop. A live show though is unique to each an every audience :)</p>
