wanted to get tickets for a relative living in Boston. Do you have to know a specific day you want to go or can you get general seating tickets and gift them?

Different shows have different prices. It would be best to find out which day/time your relative is willing to attend before booking.

To purchase tickets you do need to know the day you'd like to attend. This is because certain days have special showings and different times. You can howover just buy a gift card! In $32 increments.
