I know this may sound like a stupid question, but is there an actual meaning for "TKTS" or does it just stand for tickets?? I'm curious, if anyone knows, I would appreciate the explanation. Thanks :O)

It's just shorthand for "Tickets"

Who would think it stood for anything else?

unless you are talking about the half-price ticket line in Times Square, which is named TKTS after the abbreviation.

Totally unrelated but I didn't want to start a new thread on something like this -

I just noticed that Mamma Mia! was on the TKTS board on Sunday. Is this a first?? I thought it was doing near-cap every night?

chinkie azn jai - I've always wondered the same thing. I say it as "T-K-T-S" just to differentiate it. I thought it would sound weird to say "Do they have 1/2 price tickets for [show] at Tickets?"

Okay, so it's not really that big of a deal - just things that pop into my head randomly.

Yeah, I say T-K-T-S as well. I love that place. My friend and I got there at 10 in the morning on a Friday (when the place doesn't open til 3) and we were the first in line, but people started coming around noon so it was good that we got there early, even if we just sat around for 5 hours. Good conversation, good tunes, we were happy. And we got ridiculously good seats to Little Shop.

I heard Dracula's on TKTS. True?

everyone i've heard in new york says the letters out. i think if it were pronounced like the word it would be too confusing. "let's go to tickets.." "excuse me?"

dracula wasn't on tkts as of 3 days ago. you can check http://www.tkts.com/tkts/broadway.html later in the week to see if they are up there yet.

Dracula hadn't opened Friday when I was there, but we saw Mama Mia, Caroline or Change, I am My Own Wife, and we bought Frogs.
