Brooklyn TKTS - Short Line, BK ‘tude
By maclaren • Jul 13th, 2008 • Category: Spotted in the Hood •The third branch of Broadway barker “TKTS” is up and running at Metrotech. From Crain’s:
The Brooklyn booth, which opened Thursday at 1 MetroTech Center at Jay Street and Myrtle Avenue, sold around 150 tickets during its first day.
But Victoria Bailey, executive director of the Theatre Development Fund, which operates TKTS, hopes the Brooklyn spot will be selling 2,500 to 3,000 tickets a week by the end of the year. The South Street Seaport location sells around 5,000 tickets a week, depending on time of year and weather. The main TKTS booth in Times Square, known for its long lines of impulsive tourists, sells between 18,000 and 30,000 tickets a week.
