Downtown Brooklyn TKTS Booth Opens Today!

As of today it will be much easier for all you Brooklynites and/or Times Square-a-phobes to satisfy your theatrical cravings when a new TKTS booth opens in Downtown Brooklyn on Jay and Myrtle Streets on the ground floor of the MetroTech Center. Just like the booths in Times Square and the South Street Seaport, they will sell discount tickets up to 50 percent off for Broadway and Off-Broadway shows as well as music and dance performances and Brooklyn performing arts events. The booth will be open from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. on weekdays selling tickets for same night and next day performances. Since most tourists won't make the trek I bet this location will be much more pleasant -- you could get your tickets to Gypsy and be back in time to grab a drink and laugh at the long sweaty line of people in Times Square hoping to get that last ticket to Thurgood.
