We were able to get 40 per cent off tickets for Mamma Mia from TKTS which we were pleased with. They only sell you the best available so you can't pick seats or ask for cheaper ones, but we thought the price was good font Broadway and enjoyed having some great seats. They allow you to queue in the morning/early... More

Ask the staff on site the lines for musicals and non musicals( shorter).Only one credit card is allowed if you all wish to sit together as a group.Ask for the lowest priced tickets if that matters to you. Try the box offices of the theaters first. Annie is the same price at TKTS as the box office and no lines.Have... More

Order ahead if you must have the best seats or it's the hottest show on Broadway. Otherwise, hop in line and be flexible and enjoy big savings. Even new plays have huge discounts (40%) because most people want to see the musicals, but musicals are well-priced too. Check for matinees on certain days and talk to the information people hovering... More

The long lines in Times Square always scared me away from the TKTS booth on previous trips to New York, but after reading a tip on TripAdvisor I decided to try the booth in Brooklyn for tickets I thought were pricing out very high online. It was an easy subway ride from Manhattan, no line at all, we got a... More

We used TKTS for two different show tickets. We got a better price then buying online in advance at other ticket sellers. I recommend you show up about 20 minutes before they open for the greatest choices of tickets and minimal time in line. They have a website and it lists the shows that are for sale that day. Have...

Great service with most Broadway shows avaialble--of course, except Book of Mormons. Brooklyn location is easy by subway and much shorter wait. Enjoy! Also, some off Broadway productions with similar saving.

TKTS is located under the glass steps in Time Square. Don't waste your money buying tickets for broadway online. Go to the TKTS booth, the employees are extremely helpful in recommending what to see and buy your tickets there. You can save anywhere from 50-65% off. The only catch is that the tickets are for the shows playing that day... More

While spending a few days in NYC with a friend we decided to go to a show. We waited about 1.5 hrs to get tickets to Jersey Boys and got in line at 3:15. The discounted price of the tickets were more expenses than we expected. The show was worth every penny. Some things to think about when using this... More

Be sure to get your Broadway show tickets here. You can get some great last minute deals just by standing in the line for a couple of hours. Jersey Boys is a must see!!!
