TKTS TIMES SQUARE opened for business on June 25, 1973 and quickly became a mecca for theatregoers from all over the world. Making shows affordable with same-day discount tickets and fostering a community of theatre lovers on Duffy Square (47th Street and Broadway), TKTS is one of New York City's most photographed landmarks. Housed under distinctive red glass steps, the current TKTS Booth opened in 2008 and has garnered more than a dozen international design awards. The glowing red staircase above TKTS was the first public space to open in Times Square, and it quickly became a popular destination for locals and visitors alike, 365 days a year. TKTS' small service fee (currently $6 per ticket) is used to operate the Booth and to help fund TDF's many programs. Facebook: @OfficialTKTS; Instagram/Twitter @TKTS, TikTok @TKTSNYC.
