Posted: 11/3/14 at 8:42pmIs there a report that states how much business the Southstreet Seaport TKTS Booth generates? And how much the booth that was in the WTC generated? I'm curious if it is worth it to TDF to open a booth in a 3rd location...
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 11/3/14 at 8:47pmIf I end up doing a trip during the holidays, I always avoid the Times Square booth and go down to the Seaport one. There is usually a line, but nowhere near as bad as Times Square.

There are already 3 locations. The 3rd is in Brooklyn.

Posted: 11/4/14 at 8:45amThis is purely anecdotal (I can't begin to speak to the fiscal "worth it") but my take from frequently passing and using both the Seaport and Brooklyn booths is that they do a healthy enough business and perform a great service to the city, the theatre and its goers. There are never huge lines there (which from the consumer perspective is great!) but they do a business.
