Question: Where is the best place to go for discount tickets in NYC?

Answer: The best place in New York City to go for discount tickets to Broadway and Off-Broadway show is at the TKTS booth in TKTS in Lower Manhattan Theatre Centre at South Street Seaport (the corner of Front and John Streets, the rear of the Resnick/Prudential Building at 199 Water Street. Fewer people know about this booth, so the line tends to be a lot shorter. Plus, at this TKTS location only, matinee tickets must be bought the day before. For example, Wednesday matinee tickets must be bought on Tuesday; Saturday matinee tickets bought on Friday; and Sunday matinee tickets bought on Saturday. TKTS accepts cash or travelers checks.

Open:
Monday - Saturday for all evening performances: 11am - 6pm
Sundays for evening performances:11am - 3:30pm

How to get there:
Easily reachable by subway, you can take the J,M,Z, 2,3,4,5 to Fulton Street or the A,C to Broadway-Nassau. The M15 bus travels down Second Avenue to the Seaport.
