Theater tickets

Is it best to go ahead an buy tickets on line or take a chance on the tkts. booth. We are thinking about ';Momma Mia';. Half price savings sure sounds good to us. But I don%26#39;t want to stand in line for hours. A friend told me the wait was not long????????? Help!!

Theater tickets

Mama Mia is often available in advance with discount codes, depending on when you%26#39;re coming. There are currently a few discounts available good through Nov. 12.

If your trip is after that, then you can either take a chance and wait to see whether new codes will become available for your dates (unlikely if you%26#39;re coming over a holiday time) OR take a chance at the TKTS booths. Also depends on how long you%26#39;re here. If you%26#39;re only here for a few days, you don%26#39;t have too many opportunities. The TKTS booth at the South Street Seaport is often less crowded than at Times Square. ;)

Theater tickets

The lines at TKTS can vary enormously. I%26#39;ve noticed that the line often becomes very short in the last hour or two before most shows start (i.e., after 6 PM or so if you%26#39;re there on an evening when most shows start at 8). Of course, selection may be very limited by then (or maybe you%26#39;ll catch some great tickets that were released by a theater at the last minute -- you never know).
