This morning a new iPhone app was announced by Davenport Media Enterprises, "AT THE BOOTHTM" which aims to show what's on sale at the Times Square TKTS Booth for $.99 (and available for download - here). Now TKTS has responded to the release of this commercial application, along with news of their own app in development.

A new statement from TKTS reads:

We understand that for some time the public has been interested in having an iphone app to find out what is available at our TKTS Discount Booths," said Victoria Bailey, TDF's executive director. "To that end, we are currently beta testing a TKTS/TDF iPhone app that will be available in September.

Among other features, the TKTS/TDF app will have live feeds which will accurately show what is available at all three TKTS Booths (Times Square, South Street Seaport and Downtown Brooklyn). While we always appreciate efforts to disseminate information about what is available at the TKTS Booths, we are concerned that this recently released app may not provide an accurate picture of ticket availability and line lengths considering the fluidity of both.
