The TKTS ticket booths only offer same-day tickets, so you will be limited to what is ticket inventory is left on the day of the show after everyone else has bought up all the good stuff. Our discount Broadway ticket codes offer lower prices and a great deal more inventory than the TKTS half price ticket stand can allow.

In the past, it was common to find half off tickets at TKTS NYC booths. However, nowadays, availability runs out quickly and the half off shows are harder to come across. (Remember: you can only purchase same-day tickets at TKTS NYC booths. The first TKTS booth has been around for over 40 years.)
