TKTS Questions...#0

Posted: 5/9/06 at 6:40pm

My high school Model UN Club is going to be in New York City next week for a conference and everyone in attendance is interested in seeing a show... Unfortunately, I have only been to the city once before (my theater experience is limited to tours and OBCRs) and I'm not familair with the workings of TKTS... When does TKTS open every day and from your own experiences when is it the LEAST busy throughout the day? Furthermore, what are the odds of getting tickets to Sweeney Todd day of there? (One can only hope...)

Oh! One last question! We're staying at the Grand Hyatt Hotel which also advertises ticket sales-is that similar to TKTS or are they more expensive?

Thank you very much for all your help and I can't way until next Wednesday!

The TKTS website has the hours that they are open. TKTS seems to generally be less busy on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but though the line may look daunting it usually moves rather quickly. If you're in a rush, get there maybe 15 minutes before the booth opens and you should be fine.

Sweeney should be available, esp. if you're going on a weekday. Also, make sure you have cash or traveller's checks - they don't accept credit cards.

Don't get your tix from the hotel... they're usually a lot more expensive.

Have fun!!!

FYI, TKTS has also moved temporarily to the Marriot Marquis hotel (just across the street from where it used to be). There's more on this on their website.

Yes, don't go to your hotel ticket broker. They can hike prices up to $75 more than box office prices. Sweeney is usually on TKTS. Have fun!
