I was looking into the Lion King and I notice a $40 difference between broadway.com and the Lion King official web site. What is the difference?

broadway.com is cheaper than the lion king website...

I checked Broadway.com and the box office, and found that, as was said above, the seats were more expensive in the same location at B.com because of the service fee....Mezzanine seats are $40 different based on which rows you are in, which may be why you saw the $40 difference...Row H and back are $80/person, G and front are $121 per.
I remember when I was first old enough to go and front row seats were $8. Back seats were as little as $4, and sometimes even $2 a seat to see Zero Mostel in Fiddler, Carol Channing in Hello, Dolly!, others.
Back then, I could find a really decent used car, of course, for the same price as taking 4 to dinner and the show.
Honestly, the best bet for cheapest available tickets is usually TKTS. Get there early, and wait on the line, but you can save sizeably if the shows are traditionally not sold out.
This link below tells you of the likelihood of getting discount tickets for all of the B'way shows and which ones are likely to be sold out.

The way we always go is The Half Price Ticket Stand. The main discount ticket booth is located in Duffy Square, which is in the heart of Times Square, at Broadway and 47th Street. On Mondays through Saturdays you can purchase same-day tickets for evening shows between 3PM and 8PM, and on Wednesdays and Saturdays you can buy matinee tickets between 10AM and 2PM. On Sundays, the booth sells matinee tickets from 11AM to 3PM, and tickets for evening shows from 3PM until closing. You can usually get the tickets you want if you get in line early enough. And it's CASH only, so be prepared.
