Here's a tip! The TKTS 7-Day Fast Pass allows you to return to the Times Square ticket booth within 7 days of a TKTS purchase & walk right up to window #1. Avoid the long lines & enjoy NYC!

Walt Atyeo

TKTS is excellent. I kept an eye on all the websites for tickets for weeks, and I saved $120 on a pair of tickets the first show and $80 on my second pair. Can't beat it.

Best place for when you want to see a show and can't decide. Even better if you don't want a musical , the "play only" line is super quick and the staff is typically so knowledgeable about the shows

Sharon

Love these folks! Come here in the evening during the off season to avoid long lines , buy an amazing orchestra ticket for 50% off, and walk right up to the theater at showtime.

Donia

Worth the wait. Got 5 tickets with great seats all together to Chicago day of show (Saturday) for an affordable price . Many shows to choose from.

Melissa Burgess

Absolutely worth waiting in line . Have a couple shows in mind in case the one you want is sold out by the time you reach the booth . Discount tickets on Broadway shows ... can't beat it.

Nic Werner

Get the app and know right away if your show is already sold out. It’s the same listing as on the boards

Linda Miklowitz

Buy day-of-show tickets for 1/2 price + $4.50 service charge.12 windows really reduce the wait in line , and there's a window just for plays. Sometimes cheaper to go to box office for rear mezz seats.

Harumi U

If you are eyeing specific show, need to get there before it opens and wait. If you don't care what shoe you see going right before the closing will get you something. Certain days are tougher

Christopher Schout

Day-of tickets at a bargain for shows with availability. Save your receipt and if you come back same week they will fast track you! Pass the line for your next purchase.

K. William Hickey

I don't know what I would do without TKTS.If you want to see a TOP Broadway Show ,have friends come in town at the last minute, and haven't reserved your tickets,this is THE place to go!Half-Price too!

Sarang Kang

Get the TKTS app. It'll give you info on the latest shows. It won't be helpful for TODAY's shows necessarily but you can kind of suss out the situation from yesterday's shows etc.

Felype

Generally it can take 20min waiting in the line but if you have a ticket for the last 7 days you can go directly to the cashiers . The deals worth it, but it sucks to wait jn line during the winter.

Giuliano

Great place to get broadway tickets with good discounts . Bought phantom of the opera with 40% discount , second row on orchestra.

Sarang Kang

Go to the downtown location if you know what you want (check the app) and if it's a broadway show . I think they're open earlier and lines are definitely shorter.

Randall

The staff may try to recommend “Perfect Crime”. Don’t listen to them. It’s not a good play. Also, if anyone asks, you don’t want a free CD and you don’t want tickets to a comedy show.

Renae Mason

Get the TKTS app to see if the show you want to see is available for discount sessions on the day.

emily mcgill

I like to go just before show time to see what they have left. Rather than wasting a lot of time in line , you get to enjoy your day.

Stephen Carlson

Go to the Downtown Brooklyn or South Street Seaport Booth for much shorter lines . Also, you can download the app to easily see what shows are available.

Sanjay Gupta

Get discount tickets to Broadway shows , the day of. When I lived in New York, I saw 13 shows in 6 months. People wait all day, but sometimes 30 minutes before the show, the line may disappear :) Read more

David Alexander

Get your same day discount tix for broadway shows here. Make it before 5pm for best availability.

Michael Lambert

Great spot to stop and take it all in. Free movie screenings on some evenings.

Erica

The play express line is faster, especially since you don't have to come right when the booth opens to use it! Come a bit later and feel like a VIP while using the play express.

Amanda

If you go at 5:30 and want to see a play, they may say it's just one line , but ask up front and they let you in to the much much shorter play line

Ali Anderson

Grab coffee and go early for best seats and shortest line when the windows open.

Algonquin Hotel

Be smart, bring a friend since lines are long and you can only purchase a maximum of four tickets per person! Take turns holding places in line to check on deals and take bathroom or snack breaks.

Juan Benitez

Download the iPhone/iPad app for real time update of the shows availables. Discounts change everyday (one day could be 30 and the next 50)

Come here to get all your Musical & Play tickets. You can usually get 50-70% discounts for same day tickets!

Erica

Look for Patron Services Reps in RED for help navigating the booth ! The line usually starts about an hour before we open. It moves fast, so pick two or three shows in advance to get out quicker! Read more

If you don't care what you see and want cheaper tickets, go for a show that has "worse" seats. You'll still have a great view but won't pay as much.

Jim McDermott

TKTS seems like the best deal, but most shows offer cheaper seats when the box office opens or lotteries . And TKTS seats are very hit and miss. Do some research before you wait in line ...

Joanne Moussa

Get the best discounts for all musicals ! Only for same day tix

Erica

Arrive early for best deals, best seats are sold at the beginning of the day. Can't wait that long? Come back around 5:30, 6:00 when the line dies down for last minute deals. Read more

Zx Wang

Expect long lines . Sometimes you can get really good seats for a quite reasonable price.
