I agree completly with you munkustrap! I have never waited on that line and never plan to!
The only time I've waited on the TKTS line in the past six years was a few weekends ago to see BUTLEY. The box office wouldn't sell standing room unless the show was completely sold out, and since it hasn't been selling out on weekend, a $50 half price ticket was my best (cheapest) option.
Right. There are a few cases where TKTS is a great alternative, particularly if they have balcony or rear mezz seats that eventually sell for $15-$20. But it's all luck.
