Lincoln Center to open its own discount ticket booth

Starting Jan. 7, Lincoln Center’s new ticketing booth will start selling day-of discount tickets — for the likes of the Metropolitan Opera to the New York City Ballet — kicking off with $20 Tickets for 20 Days.

David Rubenstein Atrium at Lincoln Center, which Crain’s has already dubbed the TKTS for Lincoln Center, will officially open to the public Dec. 17 on Broadway between 62nd and 63rd streets. The atrium will have free wi-fi, restrooms, free performances every Thursday as well as a new ‘wichcraft location, which New York magazine notes will come stocked with a full bar.

As for the tickets, after the initial 20 days, the discounts will range from 25 percent to 50 percent off regular prices. Tickets will go on sale at noon every day and will be sold two per person. The Box Office will be closed on Mondays, so those tickets will be sold on Sundays. Inventory will change daily based on availability, and availability cannot be guaranteed, according to the Lincoln Center news release announcing the deal.

The atrium itself will be open 365 days a year, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays, and 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekends. Lincoln Center tours will also begin at the new atrium.
