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.

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.
Response from the operator: It seems that this booking was not made through our company. We kindly ask that you remove this review and place it with the correct company. 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.

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!
via Tripadvisor
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.

NYC Holiday Combo: Radio City Rockettes & Empire State Building: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.
How much does NYC Holiday Combo: Radio City Rockettes & Empire State Building cost?
+
Prices start at $140 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does NYC Holiday Combo: Radio City Rockettes & Empire State Building take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New York is not rushed.
Is NYC Holiday Combo: Radio City Rockettes & Empire State Building worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 40 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule NYC Holiday Combo: Radio City Rockettes & Empire State Building?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is NYC Holiday Combo: Radio City Rockettes & Empire State Building suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book NYC Holiday Combo: Radio City Rockettes & Empire State Building?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New York can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New York and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does NYC Holiday Combo: Radio City Rockettes & Empire State Building start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New York within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in New York?
+
New York has more bookable experiences than any other city on Outty, and the quality spread is brutal. Observation decks are commoditised, so we score them on timed-entry reliability and sunset slots. Food tours and borough walks are where the ranking really separates operators, and the top scores in the city all come from small-group guides. On Outty we rank every New York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, SoHo, Little Italy, and Chinatown Walking Tour in New York. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit New York?
+
September to early November, and late April through June. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in New York?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
