Discount code for a play

I just had an extremely frustrating conversation with an agent from AARP--whose name I couldnt understand and I wound up hanging up after 20 minutes.

I had called a local Theatre to make reservations for a play:  Gateway Playhouse in Bellport New York.  

The person on the phone at Gateway told me that I can get discount tickets through my AARP Membership.  But I need the CODE.

I tried to explain this to the AARP agent.   She kept asking me if the person at the Playhouse told me the Code.   I said he didnt.  He told me I have to get it from AARP.  If he had told me the Code, I wouldnt have had to call AARP.

She looked it up and said that Gateway Playhouse wasn't coming up. She said she would ask someone else.  We went round and round!    I waited on the phone for 20 minutes and then finally asked her if someone from AARP could call me back.  She said they dont do that.  I am at a loss here.    Can anyone help?

I'm sorry to hear about your previous experience, @GinnyH387654. AARP members and guests get a 20% discount on tickets at The Gateway Playhouse. To purchase tickets online, please visit: https://www.thegateway.org/Online/default.asp or contacting the theater box office at 631-286-1133. Please have your membership card handy and use the promo code "APPLAUSE". - Diana G.

📎  Debra @DebraR171920 , AARP no longer "allows" us to HELP each other ON THIS SITE as we use to for years. Violation of their guidelines per this year 2025.  🙄

 

So with this said, I am hoping AARP @AARPConsumerCare will send you an AARP Private Message (PM) with the code you are seeking. Or post a LINK to find it. Or post the code on THIS SITE.

 

AARP does NOT work on weekends anymore, so it will be MONDAY before they "clock" back in.

 

Take care,

Nicole  👵
