We are a team of self-taught developers working on our dream project. Please join us in exploring how web-based applications can bring clarity and excitement to the same-day ticket market in Times Square.
The below API endpoint is for you. We hope you will use it and be in touch to share your own thoughts and ideas!

Includes:
- A true/false indication of whether TKTS Duffy Square is open for business.
- A real-time count of the number of shows being discounted.
- A real-time average price and discount of all shows for sale.
Our own research and development is divided into two areas of focus: (1) tools for reading and interpreting data from the same-day ticket market, and (2) tools for connecting patrons in Times Square with high-quality information about their options in the same-day ticket market.
The more people outside of TKTS we can speak with and learn from, the better our systems for collecting, storring, and applying data will be! We work outside of TKTS daily, engaging with patrons and observing how environmental factors impact the work we do.
Our On The Boards email; daily survey system; and live information page have all been developed to serve the community of theatergoers at TKTS. Understanding how the needs of matinee customers and evening customers tend to vary; how QR positioning impacts survey collection; and how changes to price and percentage shift customer taste are only a few of the important factors we track every day.
But data alone is never enough! We are constantly asking ourselves how we can use what we learn through data collection to improve real-life customer interactions out in the same-day market.
