TKTS (New York City, New York)

The TKTS ticket booths in New York and London sell Broadway and Off-Broadway shows, music and dance events and West End theater tickets, respectively, at discounts of 20–50% off the face value. The Times Square location (actually at Duffy Square) first opened in 1973 and is operated by the Theatre Development Fund. A new TKTS booth for the Times Square location began construction in May 2006 and was completed in October 2008, designed by Choi Ropiha & Perkins Eastman. The booth is wedge-shaped, with wide, bright -red, bleacher-like stairs covering the roof, allowing pedestrians to sit down or climb the steps for a panoramic, unobstructed view of Times Square. At the time, it was the largest load-bearing glass structure in the world.
