Times Square

Under the Red Steps

The original and busiest booth, tucked beneath the glowing red glass staircase in Father Duffy Square — the bullseye of Times Square. Same-day discounts on Broadway and Off-Broadway, with the day's list updating right up to curtain.

Lincoln Center

Uptown & uncrowded

Closed

Reopens Wednesday 11:00 AM

A calmer alternative to the Times Square crush, at the David Rubenstein Atrium on the Upper West Side. Shorter lines for the same same-day Broadway and Off-Broadway discounts. Operating days are more limited — our live sign reflects what we last saw.

Location
David Rubenstein Atrium · Lincoln Center
61 W 62nd St (Broadway btwn 62nd–63rd), New York, NY 10023
Hours
Fewer days and a shorter window than the Times Square booth, and it can close seasonally. Always confirm on TDF's official page before heading uptown.

How the booth works

  • Discounts run up to about 50% off face value on same-day (and some next-day matinee) tickets.
  • It's first-come, first-served and in person only — there's no online TKTS booth queue.
  • The list of available shows changes throughout the day as producers release seats.
  • Cash and major credit/debit cards are accepted; a small per-ticket service fee supports TDF's nonprofit work.
