The booth "gets busy an hour before it opens and the lines can be quite long," according to NYTIX's TKTS guide, with only six or seven of its twelve counters typically staffed at once. Lines run outdoors, exposing waiting theatergoers to summer heat and winter cold, per the same guide.
To ease repeat congestion, every purchaser automatically receives a TKTS 7-Day Fast Pass that lets them skip back into a shorter line at window #1 on a return visit within a week, NYTIX reports — though it notes even the Fast Pass line can get crowded during peak hours. A separate, often faster-moving line is reserved for play-only tickets.
