Why you have a better shot at getting into the Broad

Sure, admission to the Broad is (mostly) free — but good luck scoring a reservation.
Since the museum opened in September 2015, advance tickets have been booked months ahead. Finally, there is hope. On May 1, the downtown museum will launch a new ticketing system.
Here's how it works: On the first day of each month, the Broad will release reservations for the subsequent month. On May 1, June tickets will become available. On June 1, July tickets will become available. And so on.
The Broad caps the number of people inside the museum at any given time to prevent overcrowding, and if you want to ensure that you get in, an advance ticket is the way to go.

Same-day tickets will still be available to anyone who shows up but be prepared to wait in line — 30 to 45 minutes on an average weekday and 60 to 90 minutes on a weekend.
In case you were wondering whether the Broad had cemented its status as a cultural institution, it was a category on "Jeopardy!" on Tuesday night.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
