TKTS Offers 7-day "Fastpass"

As per Playbill.com, the TKTS booth in Times Square will now offer a 7-day fast pass for returning customers.

The TKTS 7-Day Fast Pass permits TKTS patrons to return to the discount ticket booth within seven days of their TKTS purchase and walk up to Window #1 with their TKTS ticket stub, avoiding the longer lines at peak hours.

"All you have to do is bring your ticket stub to Window #1, within seven days of that ticket's date, and you may purchase full- or discount-priced tickets to the available Broadway or Off-Broadway shows of your choice. TDF feels that this will help visitors who are in town for a limited period of time enjoy more theatre during their trip and save some of their time for more sightseeing."

This sounds like fantastic news as the lines for TKTS booth during peak hours can be pretty long. It moves for the most part but it can be daunting. Now I wonder how long the window #1 line will be tho--if this will really create a fast pass for returning patrons or not. Window #1 is mostly used to shows marked as plays only and doesn't get used as often as a line by itself--instead the normal musicals line usually gets bumped to window #1 quite often. Time will tell!
