(2) Lincoln Center – in the David Rubenstein Atrium at 61 West 62nd Street;
(3) South Street Seaport – in the Seaport Marketplace at the corner of Front and John Streets, Manhattan; and
(4) Downtown Brooklyn – in 1 MetroTech Center, at the corner of Jay Street and Myrtle Avenue Promenade, Brooklyn.

The Official TKTS app is offered exclusively by Theatre Development Fund (TDF), the not-for-profit service organization for the performing arts, which operates the TKTS Discount Booths.

Frozen TKTS
disapppointed still

My phone is up to date but the site has frozen and none of the suggestions.....App Store, download again, click on your few locations that keep sending me back to the original site work. It USED to be great. Now it’s worthless.


Useless App
Mvn4ak

I was very excited to see a TKTS app was available, but what is the point of this app if you can’t use it to purchase tickets? You still have to go stand in line. I would happily see more shows (and spend more money in the city) if I could purchase tickets using the app and save the time that used to be spent standing in line. Without the ability to purchase tickets, the app is useless to me.


New version useless
GCM3214

This app used to work flawlessly. Now it is totally useless. If you are a member and want to search Broadway shows you can no longer filter as the filter page has no way to activate your choice. Who wants to sift though over 300 venues to access 23 or less Broadway shows? The online site is the same so useless as well. Also it does not recognize renewals. Wish I had not renewed. Developers have ruined a perfectly good thing. Should have the ability to rate 0. One star is one too much.


App is a mess
dmawwq

The app bounces around and issues inaccurate tickets. Never had this problem before. Not sure what happened to it.


Horrible customer service!!!!
Wgarcia88

Waited in line for good one hour only to find out that the show we want to purchase are sold out 10 minutes ago. There we’re PLENTY of staff standing around that COULD HAVE announced the sold out shows so patrons would not be standing in line WAITING FOREVER. Meanwhile, the staff in front of the line are just chatting, or on the phone, not tending to the customers. What a waste of staff and wage for a very unorganized company. Definitely will NOT BUY here again!!! Corporate office, better check your slacker employees!!! What a waste of wages, definitely NEED better system!!!!


Go back to the old app version

Not every change is an improvement. App is useless now.


Totally SCAM

They are not responsible for what they said. Definitely charge you more than official price. Use official website or theater ticket booth. Or you'll waste your time and money. From my personal experience. You should never believe what they say.


hello? is anybody home?
Sleepy new yorker

I am a TDF member. The app constantly asks for my log in and doesn’t seem to commune with the TKTS side of the app. I cant view what events are available to TDF membership. Like literally: the purple view button opens nothing. Online is fine. Tedious use of date by date—why not be able to search by a date range. 21st Century here! Get with the program!


Doesn’t replace the booth
sweetcar0l1ne

There is no point to this app. I thought that it would take the place of the booth- see what’s available day off, buy tickets through the app. Nope! You can see what’s available and that’s about it. Still had to go to the booth to buy tickets.


Connection error always. Have yet to see actual app
