TKTS Half-Price Tickets (Theatre Development Fund) Details

TKTS opened for business on June 25, 1973, and its booths have been selling Broadway, Off-Broadway, Dance and Music events ever since. Tickets are available at 25%, 35%, and 50% of full-price (plus a $4.00 per ticket service charge) and are available mostly on the day of performance.

All major forms of payment are accepted, including credit cards, cash, and travelers' checks, as well as TKTS Gift Certificates. All available tickets are posted on boards outside the ticket windows. At the TKTS booth in Times Square, Window 6 is a separate PLAY ONLY line. Same-day discount ticket buyers may queue to purchase tickets for Broadway and Off Broadway dramatic plays. These productions will be indicated on the electronic boards with a letter P.

Changes in availability occur continuously as cooperating theatres supply or withdraw tickets, depending on box office demand.

BEWARE OF TICKETS SOLD ON THE STREET Tickets not purchased at the tkts Box Office windows may have been illegally obtained and there is a possibility you will not be seated upon arrival at the theatre.
