TKTS vs TodayTix vs Other Student Discount Services

I'm visiting NYC for the first time from overseas in about a week or so, and most people who have been there before me tell me how great the TKTS booths with the the discounts you get. Looking at both apps for TKTS and TodayTix that I've downloaded, the rates for a discounted show appear to be pretty much the same across the board. Are there further discounts that occur on "the day of" the performance that can only be received in person at a booth? Or are both ticketing services virtually the same discounts just with two different company names?

For the most part, the discounts end up being quite similar. The above poster makes a great point: you save a lot of time using Todays Tix.

TodayTix is great for your first purchase. Post your referral code on this board, if someone uses it, you'll get a $20 credit. And for your first order only you can add someone else's referral code. Technically you can save $40 on one ticket, $30 with the fee. I bought a $69 ticket to Delicate Balance for $39 using this method.

Also, you keep getting $20 credits each time someone uses your code, but this will take some time.

can you use someone elses code and get 20$ off? and if someone uses your code, you'll get 20$ off as well? Can you combine both discounts?

I see many codes on the internet. Do people use these codes and can you built up personal credit with it? Anyone have some experience with it?

I'm from belgium and visiting nyc in february. would be a great way to get some discounts.

Anyway my code is : DNTGN

would be really thankful if someone uses my code.

"Are there further discounts that occur on "the day of" the performance that can only be received in person at a booth?"

Well, some shows do have rush tickets and lotteries, so there is always the option of trying those, and using TKTS as a Plan B. (Not sure how late you can book on TodayTix, so might be too tight to book after a lottery?! Unsure, I always do booth on this cases)

What are you going to see?

i have a special code for %50 off first order! use mine SJONH

Except for the digital lotteries, I see no reason to give TodayTix the fees they charge when all it seems they're doing is applying discount codes at the box office for you and giving you your ticket later.

If you're a student (or, in some cases, under 30 or 35, depending on the show's policy), student rush is easily worth investigating as the prices will likely be best there (subject to availability and whatever hoop you have to jump through.) TKTS is the best choice if Student Rush isn't a good option, and TodayTix just seems like a well-oiled scam. But lord knows you see enough baiters phishing their discount codes looking for a bite (notice how many of them are still waiting for someone to bite? If they had been used already, they wouldn't be here.)

100 $ credit. lucky you. how did you do that? i don' know where to post my code besides here or on twitter.
what show did you see.
If anyone wants to make my day: DNTGN

Guys, there's a separate thread for codes. Not that hard to find.

Also, it's great for shows that don't have a rush or lottery. I mentioned earlier, I got a $69 dollar ticket for Delicate Balance for $39, using a referral credit and someone else's code. If it turns out to be the front rear mezz, those seats are regularly $155 and $115. So that's a massive savings.

Have to add mine just in case anyone's looking: LCFRF

My code: BIHLO

I've found TodayTix to be kind of awesome. I've been to enough shows before and after TT and love that they pretty much do the comparison shopping for you. Also, here's a review of the app and how TodayTix works, if you're interested...
