TDF Now Offering TKTS Gift Certificates

For the budget minded holiday gift-giver who wants to give theatre and dance to their friends and loved ones, Theatre Development Fund (TDF), the not-for-profit performing arts service organization, offers two economical ways to keep theatre and dance affordable in everyone's lives this holiday season and beyond with TKTS GIFT CERTIFICATES and TDF GIFT MEMBERSHIPS.

1. TKTS GIFT CERTIFICATES: What better way to share live performance than TKTS Gift Certificates? TDF has taken the worry about of theatre gifts ("have they seen it? will they like it? what if they can't go for the performance I bought? I can't afford over $250 for a pair of tickets as gifts!") with TKTS Gift Certificates. With TKTS Gift Certificates THEY decide WHAT they want to see..and WHEN they want to see it by going to any of the three TKTS Discount Booths and choosing from the dozens of Broadway, Off Broadway, and dance productions on sale at TKTS each day! (On any given day an average of fifty productions are on sale at TKTS at discounts of up to 50% off full price.)

TKTS GIFT CERTIFICATES come in denominations $100, $50 and $25 and are accepted at all three Theatre Development Fund's TKTS Discount Booths: TKTS Times Square, under the glowing red glass steps in Duffy Square (Broadway and 47th Street); in TKTS Downtown Brooklyn (1 MetroTech Center at Jay Street and Myrtle Avenue); and TKTS South Street Seaport (at the corner of Front and John Streets).

TKTS GIFT CERTIFICATES may be purchased three ways:
(1) online at tdf's Web site - www.tdf.org (all major credit cards);
(2) by phone by calling 212.912.9770 ext. 374 (all major credit cards); or
(3) at any of the three TKTS Discount Booths during normal booth hours of operation (cash or traveller's checks).
