TKTS will be worthless once AY is built…
seaport can attract a crowd on weekends. just show up early and you’ll be fine.

5:32, that’s right! Now that you write where, I can picture it. I sometimes hop over to the Seaport for tickets, which as ‘curiosity’ notes, has few customers. I will be checking out the new booth regularly.
this is a great move
5:29 (and anyone else who’s worried):
The only TKTS outlet with crazy lines of tourists is the one in Times Square. I’ve visited the outpost at South Street Seaport many times and rarely find the line longer than 20 (mostly local) folks.
So, yay!
With the hotels under construction within walking distance of this location and all the college kids (Poly/NYU, City Tech, St. Francis, Brooklyn Law, LIU) it may be able to survive. The Marriott is booming, the NU Hotel at the corner of Smith and Atlantic is getting close to being done and the new hotel on Duffield can’t be more than 6 – 8 months away.
It’s a shame that they won’t have Saturday hours but MetroTech is still a bit of a ghost town after 5 on Fridays.
“Brooklyn is now recognized as one of the cultural jewels of New York City,” said Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz.
By selling tickets for shows in – drumroll please – MANHATTAN!
yeah, 5:29, more tax dollars to downtown brooklyn, which has been all but a ghetto for the last 30 years sounds like TERRIBLE NEWS!
