TDF, the not-for-profit service organization for the performing arts, has just announced that it is piloting a new way of posting available shows for sale at its Times Square and South Street Seaport TKTS by TDF Discount Booths. Beginning today, Monday, October 1, the boards listing the Broadway and Off Broadway shows will display the discounted ticket price rather than the percentage of the discount. TDF is introducing this change to help its patrons have all the information they need as they choose their productions. The price displayed on the board and on the TKTS app will be the discounted price (50-20% off full price) with all service charges included, so the patron can see exactly what the tickets cost. The prices will also be displayed on the TKTS app, and at www.tdf.org/tktslive.. (more...)
