The TKTS booth in the middle of Times Square at 47th Street between Broadway and 7th Avenue is where tourists and locals alike go to get in on the bargain of Broadway (and off- Broadway)shows for a fraction of their usual cost. It used to be half price but that's no longer the case, what with the sur-charge and tax and such, but with theater ticket prices starting near 100 bucks, anything you save is gravy. Except for the most popular shows, tickets to almost anything are available be it serious plays, light comedy or musicals. And the wait itself is theater as the line winds around Duffy Square and friendships are made. I actually know a couple who met on line ( in New York you wait ON line, not IN line) and have been married for years.
