New York City Sightseeing Tours - TKTS Broadway Show Tickets

New York Party Shuttle is the only tour company that lists this attraction on their NYC tour itinerary. It's great to get things at a deal and the TKTS Booth is just the place to provide you with one. Our Tour Guides will personally escort all of our tour passengers interested in buying Broadway show tickets to the TKTS Booth location in South Street Seaport. What's great about this location is that it has significantly less traffic than the popular Times Square location with the exact same available tickets and deals! It's a big highlight of our tour.

Here is some more information about the TKTS Booth:
The TKTS booth at the South Street Seaport (at the corner of Front and John Streets) is one of the great little-known bargains in the city. Because of its location far from the Great White Way, there is seldom a line, certainly never as long as the one found at Times Square. Like the uptown version, tickets are available at 25%, 35% and 50% of full price (plus a $3 service charge per ticket) on the day of performance. Another bonus is that you can plan your evening during our lunch break. The booth opens at 11:00 am and for those interested in matinee tickets, they can be purchased the day BEFORE. Wednesday matinee tickets are available on Tuesday, Saturday matinee tickets are available on Friday, and Sunday matinee and evening performances (yes, there are some plays that perform on Sunday evening) are sold on Saturday. You cannot get this service uptown. Therefore, on Sundays, this booth is closed. Tickets must be purchased with either cash or traveler's checks.

As for the most frequently asked question concerning the selection of shows, ticket systems are computerized and both TKTS booths draw from the same pool of tickets released by the shows' box offices throughout the day. So the availability is constantly changing, both here and uptown. You should know that the most popular shows (such as Wicked) usually sell out from the theater box offices, so they are not offered at TKTS, but most of the long-running shows in town are available at a significant discount at this location.

Please remember, our snack stop is usually 30-45 minutes, so those choosing to get tickets will have to sacrifice some of their eating/shopping time so that we can get on to the attractions ahead. Of course you can always bring food on board to make the most of your time.
