Same-day discounts at TKTS
Typically 20–50% off face value
Death of a Salesman has appeared at the TKTS booth (Times Square, Lincoln Center and the Lower Manhattan locations) — same-day discounts of roughly 20–50% off face value. Appearance and discount level vary day-to-day; shorter-running shows and weekday performances are the better bets.
The realistic playbook
- Line up early for rush on a non-lottery day. Weekday performances are the friendliest.
- TKTS is the fallback. Same-day, in-person — head to the Times Square booth around 3 PM for evening shows.
- If all else fails, compare the resale market on the main Death of a Salesman page — sometimes resale dips below face for less-popular performances.
