Apart from the booth located in Times Square, they have another one located at the corner of Front and John Streets which opens earlier (i.e. at 11am). While you are in line, they have agents passing by and answering all your questions about the shows and giving advice on what is suitable for children, what is popular, what shows they... More

The first thing to do is get the free TKTS app for your phone. This will give you the same information that is displayed on the board outside the TKTS location- the available shows and the current discount. The app also gives information on all the shows and schedules. There are many helpful employees to assist you at the TKTS... More

When I want to see a Broadway show I almost always buy the tickets at TKTS. I’m relatively flexible in my choices so it works well for me. Here’s my routine 1. Before going, I write up a document of shows that are playing on Broadway that I have an interest in seeing and check the TDF site http://www.tdf.org/TDF_ShowsSearchResults.aspx to... More

Cons: Wish they opened earlier. LONG line May not get the seats you want (i.e. orchestra vs mezzanine, etc.) - research the venues so you can get a good seat without feeling 'had' - caution some ORC seats can have obscured views and that might be why they are up for grabs day of show. Probably won't have tickets for... More

We went to TKTS at Times Square around 5 pm, waited for no more than 15 min. and got tickets for the play of our choice for 40% off. Great deal with no hassle!

They changed how to get tickets. Only one side is used for musicals. There was no info telling anyone that and about 70 of us were on the wrong side of the tkts center and then had to go in the back of the other side once a man working there with very poor English skills tried to explain how... More
