Take a RIDE on Black Friday

Posted on November 19, 2012 by X Perience Theride

To all of our RIDErs and blog-readers who celebrate Thanksgiving, we hope you’ll have a delicious meal with loved ones, and that you’ll realize how thankful you are for the past year. We want to help you make this time of year even better with our Black Friday weekend promotion.

With the Holiday retail season underway, you’re sure to find deep discounts left and right. If you’re a true shopper at heart, you can take advantage of our offer for THE RIDE after your frenzied early bird shopping bonanza ends this November 23^rd.

For only a few days—from Black Friday to the following Sunday (11/23-11/25)—you can save $24 on tickets for THE RIDE’s fabulous, state-of-the-art tour bus, normally $74 each. Each and every RIDE performance for the last weekend in November is available for only $50!

This offer cannot be combined with any of our other promotions. Use the code RDBFP when you buy your tickets starting today, November 19^th.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month and THE RIDE

Posted on October 16, 2012 by X Perience Theride

Every October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Major breast cancer charities and organizations assemble each fall to raise awareness in this international health campaign. In addition to raising awareness, the goal is to raise funds for research, support, prevention, education, diagnosis, treatments, and potential cures.

Across the nation and across the world, we’ve seen pink ribbons for breast cancer awareness proliferate since the early nineties. In 2007 Tokyo Tower turned pink for October, just as in 2008 the White House was illuminated in pink light.

You can get involved, too. The Race for the Cure is a powerful global event, where millions participate to raise funds and awareness for this debilitating disease, and you can sign up to run it. Here at THE RIDE, we’d like to do our part in honor of NBCAM, too. We’ve been serving sold-out shows to the people of Midtown with an interactive, 4.2 mile tour of the sights and sounds of Times Square in our state-of-the-art, sideways-facing coach for two years, and we’d like to aid in the fight against breast cancer, too.

To easily donate directly to Susan B. Komen for the Cure, you can visit their site here. For the entire month of October, from the first through the thirty first, when you donate at least $5 to breast cancer research, you’ll get 20% off your purchase price for a ticket on THE RIDE. Furthermore, for every ticket purchased through Broadwayoffers.com with the code RDBCA, we’ll donate $1 to Komen.

Sorry, Code is no longer active : October 31st, 2012

Happy Birthday to RIDE!

Posted on October 12, 2012 by X Perience Theride

It’s our birthday! We’ve been transforming the streets of New York into a stage for two years, and we’re proud of how far we’ve come. We’re excited to say that we’re only getting bigger!

Our mobile theaters have always been the largest buses available, complete with stadium seating, state of the art audio/visual equipment, and world class performers on the street and in the coach. We’ve even expanded our regular RIDE into the Fazzino RIDE, beautifully elevated by the work of famed pop artist Charles Fazzino.

We’ve been delighted to offer one-of-a-kind experiences to customers, friends, people on the street, and Anderson Cooper, and we hope to continue for many more years. In honor of our second birthday, we’re offering crazy discounts for our matinee shows.

For the week of October 15^th to October 19^th, we are offering our lowest RIDE prices ever! You can purchase tickets at the box office for only $35! This offer is only good for our matinees on Monday, Thursday, and Friday at 2 and 4 PM and Tuesday at 4 PM.

RIDE in Costume this Halloween

Posted on October 11, 2012 by X Perience Theride

For some families, the chaos of choosing costumes can drive you crazy. It’s a shame that once chosen, this special outfit is only appropriate for one evening spent trick or treating. We’re just days away from October’s fiendish finale, and we’d like to offer you another opportunity for dressing up.

Halloween in the city is not always family-friendly. THE RIDE has you covered with a fun and safe excursion for kids on our bus, and on a budget, too! Our futuristic tour, part show and part parade, incorporates technology, musical performances, comedy, trivia, and the city itself. When a boring old tour bus gets dressed up for Halloween, its costume is THE RIDE. Everyone in the family will have a blast!

Just in time for Halloween, come experience THE RIDE for a special, limited time price! Come by our box office in costume to redeem your ticket any time on October 22^nd-November 4^th and our tickets are only $45! You must be in costume and you must purchase tickets ahead of time through Ticketmaster.

Experience THE RIDE During Comic Con

Posted on October 10, 2012 by X Perience Theride

Every year, New York is invaded by video game, comic book, TV, and pop-culture characters come to life. Fortunately these epic super heroes and fantasy fighters aren’t rescuing the city from supernatural forces or evil villains. They’re just regular fans with excellent costuming abilities heading to this 6^th annual New York Comic Con.

If you are one of the cosplayers at Comic Con this year, THE RIDE is only a few blocks away. Head over to our box office from the Javits Convention Center to our box office at Madame Toussad’s.

THE RIDE’s tour, which turns up the volume on the traditional Times Square bus tour, is the perfect way to see the city in costume. Buy tickets online through Ticketmaster and enter the promo code RDTRICK. Then, come by our box office in costume to redeem your ticket any time on October 11^th-14^th and our tickets are only $45! You must be in costume and you must purchase tickets ahead of time through Ticketmaster. The best way to experience THE RIDE is at Comic Con 2012!
