Save 12% on Absinthe Tickets in Las Vegas; No Promo Code Required
Absinthe is one of the hottest shows on the Vegas Strip. Here's the secret they don't want you to know on how to save 12% on your tickets, PLUS other pricing secrets.
The Absinthe Ticket Trick Vegas Doesn't Advertise
Absinthe is one of those rare Vegas shows that lives up to the hype: raunchy, hilarious, and wildly entertaining. But the price is not so fun. While many shows on the Strip offer frequent discounts and promo codes, Absinthe rarely runs sales, yet still sells out. That's why this simple trick to save 12% on your tickets is worth knowing.
The One Thing You Must Do: Call
Here's the hack: Call the box office and book over the phone. That's it.
Their box office phone number is (702) 534-3419.
Most people book online, where fees silently pile on at checkout. When I tried buying two tickets online, the base price was $155.05 each, but with taxes and fees, my total came to $376.76. Ouch.
So I picked up the phone. I spoke with a helpful rep at the Absinthe box office, and booked the exact same tickets. Same date, same time. Just $338 total. That's $38.76 in savings or 12.5% of the base ticket price! All for doing nothing but dialing a number and speaking to a human instead of clicking "Add to Cart."
Why the Fees Disappear
The base price of tickets doesn't change between booking online and by phone. But when you call, you skip the online processing fees that quietly tack on 10–12% to your total. The box office agent confirmed that phone reservations are "straight ticket prices, no added fees unless you upgrade seating."
Which Shows Cost More?
Absinthe doesn't just carry a high base price. It also has tiered pricing depending on when you go:
- Friday and Saturday nights at 7 PM or 9 PM are more expensive than any other time.
- These "peak shows" bump ticket prices up by two tiers compared to other performances.
- The 11 PM Friday and Saturday shows are regular price, something to keep in mind if you're flexible.
Here's a breakdown of typical ticket tier prices (as of August 2025):
| Tier | Normal Show | Peak Show |
|---|---|---|
| Ringside | $212.19 | $231.43 |
| Gazillionaire's Circle | $192.90 | $221.95 |
| Klappsitz Terrace | $173.62 | $212.19 |
| Green Fairy Gallery | $195.33 | $192.90 |
| Throne Zone | $135.04 | $173.62 |
While prices are steep, the show sells out consistently, so it's clear the demand is there. Still, knowing this structure helps you pick a showtime that gives you the most value for your money.
Absinthe might be expensive but it doesn't have to be quite so painful. With this easy phone booking trick, you can save about 12% instantly, avoid the worst of the fees, and enjoy one of Vegas's best shows without overpaying.
No promo code, no coupons, just a phone call.
If you're heading to Vegas soon and have Absinthe on your must-see list, take 5 minutes to call the box office. Your wallet will thank you.
