Do TKTS Booths Have Different Tickets/Shows?

We are going to be in NYC this weekend. We need tickets for a Saturday matinee, and are planning to buy tickets at the TKTS booth. Would it be better for us to go to South St. Seaport on Friday to purchase the tickets, or just go to the Times Sq. booth Saturday morning? Do the booths have different tickets? Or is it like Ticket Master outlets, where they print out the tickets after you purchase them? If they have different tickets, which booth is better to go to? If the same tickets are available at either booth, doesn't it make sense to go to the Seaport since you can buy them Friday? We really do not know how this works.

Thanks for all your help.

I believe the tickets are the same at each booth, but the lines at the Seaport are much, much shorter.

i would DEFINITELY go to the seaport on Friday for Saturday's matinee. WORTH the trip and you don't waste 1/2 a day waiting on line.

Seaport is faster, Times Square is more convenient.

If you do go to Seaport, dress warmly. At this time of year, the wind off the East River can be brutal.

And it'll give you a chance to check out bargains at Century 21.

I have a feeling the one in Times Square might have more shows. I was at the seaport location this past Friday, and not many shows were listed for the Saturday matinee. I am not sure though.

Have any of you guys ever been to the Brooklyn location? I would assume that the Brooklyn location will have the fewest amount of people of the three booths.

I agree with Deena actually...check for various discounts on sites such as Theatermania, BroadwayBox, and Playbill. The tickets may be slightly more expensive than TKTS (or not), but you have your tickets in advance, and you can be more choosy about where you want to sit.
