and Happy Birthday to TKTS! Here's to another 30 years... Of course then, half price will probably be 70 bucks!

only 70??!! That is a low estimate if ever I heard one.

Ok, ok... $80? Which would make normal tickets... $160 - EUGH!

LOL. Probably. Look how much they have increased since TKTS opened.

I was once in the London TKTS line and I heard someone say "£22.50? That can't be right.. that would make the top price £45", which is what the real price is! It sucks that theatre is so expensive.

I've never found TKTS that useful, as a student I can usually get it cheaper at the theatre or discounts. Here in England, on a Saturday practically every single show is on TKTS...

I have never actually bought tickets at TKTS, but they look like they're thriving! Happy Birthday!
