Good seats at discounted pricing

It took several days from time of purchase until I actually received the tickets, but all in all, our seats were good and the pricing was unbeatable.

GOOD TREATMENT AND EXQUISITE FOOD

Spectacular how you eat in this restaurant, normal prices, simple but very well crafted menu. Israel's treatment as his best helper, don't leave without trying the dumplings, they are delicious.

Go see the Rockettes but not with this specific vendor

Do not book this! Just go to the Radio City Music Hall website and book it yourself. I bought the tickets in August and had a confirmation email. Two weeks before our trip, I was emailed and told that the time-slot I booked was not even available show. I had made skating and dinner reservations around our showtime. I was able to rebook for a later show after trading multiple emails with the company, but it was unnecessarily complicated. I was also supposed to get four vouchers for the Brooklyn delicatessen, but they were never emailed after sending multiple email requests. The Christmas spectacular was wonderful and I would highly recommend experiencing it…. But do it through Radio City’s website.

We are sorry to hear about the challenges you faced and appreciate your understanding. We hope you had a fantastic time at the Christmas Spectacular and encourage you to book directly through our website in the future.

Well, soon I will book with the organizer of the Schow and no longer through service providers.

The Schow was good, I'm still waiting for the food voucher! Despite demand, the answer came "you will receive it soon", but NOTHING has come effectively so far. I hope for a refund, because I paid for it.

TRULY AWESOME!

I’ve been to a lot of shows and this was mind blowingly epic! Far exceeded my very high expectations. Beautiful, brilliant, dazzling & surprising. If I’m ever back in NYC for Christmas this will be the first thing I book!

Extremely unhappy.

I had ordered tickets for the 6 pm show at Radio City Music Hall because we had a very early flight. When we got there we discovered that are tickets were for 8:30 and we could not go. I EXPECT A FULL REFUND. You can call me at +18172910942.

I'll never forget how amazing it was

I loved this. Traditional in every sense of the word. Brought my inlaws and friends. Radio City Music Hall is gorgeous as the beautiful dancers. What a great time. I'd go every Christmas if I could.

The Most Christmas you can pack into 2 hours

If you see one show in New York City while you travel for Christmas it has to be the Radio City Rockettes! This will put the Christmas spirit right back into you.
