Definitely download the app, you can also check this site for past weeks listings: http://www.entertainment-link.com/tkts.asp?gclid=CjwKEAjwv9-gBRD5ofn2jd2N0UUSJACcdilsORN31dOw672_RjJ9L14lyqrxRm3F652yJnx7nxn2cRoCp63w_wcB

BTW, I passed by TKTS on Sunday a few times and the lines were not bad.

Also, if you buy tickets at TKTS at Times Square, you only have to wait on that long line once in a week. If you just show your receipt for the purchase, then for 7 days following, you can go to the quick line and barely wait at all.

So if you are doing more than one show that weekend, you can get through pretty quickly.

If you don't want to download the app, you can always point your browser to:

Also, if you are seeing a play, there is a separate (much shorter) line for that. That long line is just for musicals!

If Hedwig is up at half off how mush would that be? I don't know what the full price of it is.

Hedwig regular ticket prices are $49 - $152. Add on the TKTS fee.

You can check any show pricing here (probably other places too):

I tried TKTS for Hedwig a few weeks ago. They were crappy orchestra seats for $99 each.

I try and buy my tickets from the South Street Seaport, since its hardly any wait, and the tickets go on sale before Times Square... therefore you end up with better seats.

For Hedwig you can buy a $49 balcony seat and possibly move down a few rows.

What is the general consensus of TKTS these days and how do they compete with other ticket discounters on a day-to-day basis. I remember way back when before any of this inter-webby stuff and/or Rush tix that standing in line in Times Square was part of any trip to NYC. Last time there I rushed show and got a good discount in advance on another and was 1st time I had bypassed the TKTS on a visit. Just wonder how people feel about them vs. other ticket options that might be out there. How are the seats generally and how do discounts compare? Tks.

Have you thought about using Today Tix to get your tickets instead of TKTS? Discounts are the same if not slightly better for certain shows & you beat the line. Only a $5.00 fee per ticket which is considerably lower than other services.

I have the APP all fired and ready to go. I'm in NYC area for a week starting this weekend, Sat. I plan to rush Pippin, Wed. I'll use Today Tix tomorrow for YouCan't Take it With You. (If you have a discount code feel free to send it my way). And Saturday, would like to see Lady Day, but is full price right now on Today, Rush tickets don't seem to be offered per last 2 rush reports, and TKTS only offering 20% discount according to a check yesterday.

I really appreciate all the kind suggestions here to my original post. Much here I was very unaware of.
