Practical Tips in Purchasing Tickets on TKTS

without comments

I think you already heard about the word tkts. Most importantly if you are a Broadway lover. Maybe you always watch shows on Broadway; you’ve likely love about buying discount theater tickets at the Theatre Development Fund’s discount sales center called the TKTS Booth. Now as far as I have learned and researched also TKTS is a discount ticket service run by the non-profit Theatre Development Fund. It sells steeply discounted tickets to Broadway and off-Broadway shows and the main TKTS booth is in Times Square, toward the north end, where 47th crosses Broadway and Seventh, in Duffy Square. It is easily identifiable by the lighted red staircase facing south. TKTS is under the stairs. Lines form in Duffy Square and move north to the TKTS windows, which face 47th.
Now here are a few easy, effective and helpful steps to prepare you how best to take advantage of these great opportunities New York bargain on theater tickets.
First be time conscious. If it is important that you get tickets to the hottest show TKTS has, then arrive at least half an hour before the booth opens, either for matinee or evening performances. For being early will get the best benefits of all. We should also bare in mind this most popular phrase in every establishment “First come, first serve!” If you’re OK with taking your chances on whatever is available, go about an hour after the booth opens when the opening rush has died down. And always remember that the line move so fast, so you should be early enough.
Second, search for some articles that would suggest some popular shows on Broadway. Sometimes we cannot decide on the spot on some decision we need to do. So we need others opinion and advice.
Third, with the opening of the remolded booth, you can now pay with credit cards or cash, so it’s easier to shop. Here’s how: Just check the computerized boards as you are in line. Select a first and second choice of shows you want to see, once inside the glass-enclosed area, move quickly to the shortest line you see. (Most people go to the closest window, but you don’t have to. At the window five finger shoes , tell the TKTS rep what show and how many tickets. He or she will tell you if they are available and what they cost.
And lastly re-check everything because some shows are available on TKTS can literally vary hour-to-hour. You never know when a big group is in town or a show gathers steam for some reasons. Be certain to double check that your tickets are for the date and time you want. For you will surely be a waste of time, effort and money. Always remember that TKTS is not your best bet if you must see a certain show on a certain date. For most theatergoers, however, it’s a great way to see good shows for a bargain price, usually 25 percent to 50 percent off, plus a $3 per ticket charge.

with 3 comments

Picture Istanbul and many people envision the Grand Bazaar teeming with eastern treasures like magic carpets, golden lamps and colourful spices. The sheer expanse of goods on offer mean that most people on their holidays in Turkey return home with bags bursting full of goods. The ancient city of Istanbul is a bridge between Europe and Asia and East and West and the souvenirs on other are a testament to the fusion of both cultures, from designer goods to delicious rose-infused Turkish delights: What comes as a surprise to many people while on their Turkey holidays is the influx of modern shopping malls. The city has more shopping malls than most major cities in Europe and North America. There are over 50 in total, but of these only 15 are large and contain more than 100 shops in one location. The Cevahir Shopping Mall which features 343 shops within its 420,000 square metres is the largest shopping mall in Europe and the sixth largest in the world. It also features the second largest clock in the world, 14 cinema screens and a rollercoaster within its grounds. Holidaymakers will be able to find many of their favourite shops in this mall as the centre features many famous Western brands that had not previously had a presence in Turkey. Topshop, River Island, Debenhams, Miss Selfridge and Zara are amongst some of the popular brands, making Cevahir the perfect place to shop ‘til you drop! If you choose to make your holidays in Turkey all-inclusive then all the food and drink that you can possibly manage is included in the cost of your holiday. However, if you want to give your friends and family back home a taste of Turkey then you should consider buying their souvenirs from the Egyptian Spice Market. The market sells more than just spices and visitors will find boxes of traditional Turkish Delight, sticky baklava and mint teabags, all of which make for fantastic holiday souvenirs. If you like cooking then the Egyptian Spice Market is definitely the place to buy your herbs and spices, boxes of saffron threads are less than a third of the price that they’d cost in the UK. It’s important to remember that spices start to lose their strength after six months so buy in practical amounts and don’t go overboard. If you want to buy a carpet then rest assured that at some point during your holiday a guide will take you into a government owned showroom. There are pros and cons of buying from these places, the main con is the set prices are a little higher. Yes, you might not have to haggle for your goods hollister , but haggling is all part of the experience. In the Grand Bazaar, you’ll be shown rows and rows of Turkish carpets over sweet mint tea and then invited to bargain over the price. Don’t be embarrassed, haggling is part of the cultural in Turkey. An important rule to remember is that you should start at a third of the price that you would consider paying for the item and then gradually work yourself up. If you’re not in the market for a carpet, the Grand Bazaar has plenty of other wares to tempt you. Leather sandals, silver jewellery and evil eye pendants can be seen throughout many of stalls which extend for 30 hectares over 65 streets.

which you can see by clicking on the screenshot below.

A deeply grizzled Clint Eastwood, back on our screens for the first time in four years is Walt Kowalski, a pissed off elderly racist who doesn’t quite agree with how the world is changing around him, as foreigners start moving in next door.

Or at least that’s how the trailer starts but there’s more to this character than meets the eye and an incident in his neighbourhood forces him to interact and help those of different race, who he previously only showed disdain towards. This is much more than a film about an old guy protecting his prized vehicle from a youthful gang of crooks.

Apple have released a HD trailer for the movie, which you can see by clicking on the screenshot below.

The movie very much has Clint doing his angry DIRTY HARRY gig and you can certainly see from the character why some people who got hold of the leaked script thought it could have been a film about an older Harry Callahan.

In fact, I’m sure Clint probably flirted with making it a DIRTY HARRY flick… a kind of late entry to the series that would do for FIRST BLOOD what RAMBO did or what ROCKY BALBOA did for ROCKY.

GRAN TORINO opens Dec. 17th in the U.S, with no U.K. date yet attached.
