We took a tour of the city and our guide pointed out the long lines at the TKTS Time Square booth when we passed by. He suggested going to the Seaport TKT office instead and boy, am I glad I followed the suggestion! When I arrived at the office, there was only 1 person in front of me finishing up... more

My wife and I stood in line for an hour to get tickets for Phantom of the Opera. When we got to the front, I was offered 2 tickets at 40% off, which were still $75 each. No seating chart was offered, and when I asked if there were any balcony tickets, the rude young man said no. I also... more

If your willing to see any show then i do suggest goung to TKTS but go to the downtown where you walk stright in and buy where as if you go to TS you will wait hours and hours. more

While I would recommend TKTS to anyone seeking half price tickets to many Broadway shows the ticket seller I encountered was rude and un-attentive. He kept walking away from the window and was eating the entire time. This person did not offer different seating arrangements and seemed impatient although I knew exactly what show I wanted when I got to... more

Spent about 5 minutes in line at 4:00 PM to get a ticket for Rock of Ages, Orchestra, 5th row, 50% off. Next day at noon, I spent over an hour waiting to get a ticket for 9 to 5, orchestra, 8th row, 50% - both were excellent seats and great discounts. The waiting lines would move much smoother if... more

Once upon a time, TKTS only accepted cash (or travelers checks) - and some posts online still warn that this is the case. I'm not sure when, but they have started to accept credit cards... which the informed traveler may look at and think "great, I don't have to carry a wad of cash, I can pay with plastic." My... more

I have seen so much misinformation posted about TKTS that I feel compelled to do this writeup. First, the boards that are located on either side of the TKTS Point of Sale will tell you what the percentage discount off of the face value of the ticket will be. For example: Phantom of the Opera, could be selling at 50%... more

DO NOT GO TO THE ONE LOCATED IN TIMES SQUARE UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO WAIT AN HOUR OR TWO IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY!! If you go late in the afternoon or right before the show starts you are only likely to save a couple bucks. Go to the SOUTH SEAPORT LOCATION OR THE DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN BOOTH!! They... more
