The TKTS booth in Times Square, which sells discount tickets for Broadway and Off Broadway shows, will now feature a new policy designed to allow patrons to skip the regular lines at the booth if they have made a TKTS purchase in the last seven days, executives said on Wednesday.
Dubbed the “TKTS 7-Day Fast Pass,†theatergoers who bring their TKTS stub to the booth within seven days of that ticket’s date can walk up to Window #1 for their next purchase of either same-day discounts or future-performance full-priced tickets and avoid the other lines. The Theater Development Fund, which operates the TKTS booth, hopes that this initiative will help tourists and Broadway regulars alike save time, especially during peak hours, and allow them to spend more of it at the theater.
It was also announced that the TKTS booth located in South Street Seaport is scheduled to reopen in July. It has been closed since October after sustaining damage in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
