TKTS Lines...

First off, I know this is a stupid question.

I haven't done TKTS in years, and I'm wondering how early to get in line for a Wednesday matinee (at the Time Square location)? Do you need to be in line an hour before they open just to get something remotely decent, or can you usually get something good even if you don't show up until 10:00? There are several shows that we're open to seeing that have been on TKTS recently (which is why we're going that route), so it's not like we're only looking for one really popular show, however there are some that we're really not interested in and/or have already seen.

...There have been people that have told stories of walking up at 7:30 pm and scoring great seats to shows.

That's happened to me on several occasions. And there's usually absolutely no one in line at that point.

Are there two separate sessions on Matinee days? Can you get matinee and evening shows on line in the morning or is there a separate time for later shows?

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.

Again a reminder about the "PLAY ONLY" line. I recently got in that line at 10 minutes before TKTS opened on a Wednesday and I was the third person in line. The musical lines were "miles" long!
