Explore the David H. Koch Theater seating chart section by section and choose where you want to be for George Balanchine's The Nutcracker. About 220 tickets are listed for this date right now, starting about $226.00. Every listing comes from an independent seller who sets their own price, so two seats in the same section can be priced very differently and you will occasionally see an unusually high asking price. Use the price filter to narrow things to your budget and check more than one section before deciding.
Prices in the seat map are per ticket and set by professional resellers, so they can land above or below face value. The booking fee is already included in the listing price. Any applicable tax is added at checkout, and a small number of listings add a delivery charge, so check the order total before you pay. Any "from" figure elsewhere on this page is an estimated starting point drawn from the catalog feed, not an amount you can necessarily buy at. The seat map is what shows real, buyable prices.

George Balanchine's The Nutcracker tickets at David H. Koch Theater start at about $226.00 per ticket on December 3, 2026. That is an estimate rather than a ticket you can buy at that exact figure, because sellers reprice constantly. There are around 220 tickets available for this performance at the moment. Section and row do most of the work, and a New York, New York date can price differently from the same tour elsewhere. Open the seat map below to see live prices for every section. A booking fee is already in each listing price; any applicable tax is added at checkout, and a small number of listings add a delivery charge.

How this price has moved
We have 4 price readings for this event going back 49 days. Over that time the lowest listing has ranged from $188.00 to $215.00. Our latest reading is 11% higher than our first. At $215.00, our latest reading is the most expensive we have seen.
These readings are the lowest LISTING price before the booking fee; the booking fee, any tax and, on a small number of listings, a delivery charge are all added on top at checkout, so none of these figures is an amount you would pay. They are here to show movement, not totals. Sellers reprice at will, so past movement is a record of what happened, not a prediction of what happens next.

Frequently asked questions
Will my George Balanchine's The Nutcracker tickets scan at the entrance?
Yes. Every ticket sold through StubOrder is guaranteed authentic and valid for entry, so it will scan, and we take that very seriously. If the venue ever reports a problem with your tickets, the 100% Buyer Guarantee covers you.
How many George Balanchine's The Nutcracker tickets can I buy at once?
Each listing sets the quantities the seller allows, and the quantity menu offers only those options. Open a listing above to see its available quantities.
Can I get a refund if George Balanchine's The Nutcracker is canceled?
If this performance is permanently canceled, your order is refunded in full under StubOrder's 100% Buyer Guarantee, including the booking fee; only a delivery fee, which few listings carry, is not refunded, and shipped hard-stock tickets may need to be returned first. If it is postponed or rescheduled, your tickets are normally honored for the new date.
Will my seats for George Balanchine's The Nutcracker be together?
Yes. Seats within a single listing are adjacent unless the listing notes say otherwise. If you want aisle seats, look for them in the listing notes when you choose your seats, or at checkout.
How many George Balanchine's The Nutcracker tickets are left?
Our latest check counted 220 tickets listed for this performance. That is fewer than most George Balanchine's The Nutcracker performances, which typically have about 392, so the choice of seats is narrower. The seat map above shows every listing available right now, by section.
For George Balanchine's The Nutcracker, can I walk to David H. Koch Theater from a hotel?
The hotels page for David H. Koch Theater answers that property by property: every card is labelled walkable, a long walk, or drive or ride, against its real distance from the doors. Worth checking rather than assuming before Thursday, December 3: a downtown arena usually has several hotels within a few blocks, while a stadium off a ring road can have nothing within walking distance at all, and leaving on foot afterwards is usually quicker than queuing for a car or a ride.
Is StubOrder affiliated with David H. Koch Theater?
No. StubOrder is an independent resale marketplace, based in Buffalo, New York, and selling tickets since 2006. It is not affiliated with David H. Koch Theater or George Balanchine's The Nutcracker, or any box office.
