Posted: 9/24/08 at 8:52pmI remember being in the area around 3 weeks ago. Unless there was some magic trick being done it is far from being over. Besides, I am not sure if I believe this regardless of the paper it is printed in. Didn't some paper say that this was going to be done a year or so ago?

What is there not to believe? It's opening October 16 with a ribbon cutting ceremony. The end.
Further, here is the announcement in tomorrow's New York Times.
Miracle of miracles...

I'm totally psyched about this. I think it's going to be awesome -- a whole new icon for New York!
But in all fairness, I think TKTS owes everybody a free ticket to a Broadway show for making us wait so long. I mean, how many months -- years? -- did they hold up that prime real estate smack dab in the center of Times Square?!
Peace.
p.s. -- BTW, did anyone notice that the new TKTS booth, all done up in futuristic weeds and cracks, actually made its first appearance in I AM LEGEND? . . . lol . . . That sh*t made me laugh out loud.

Posted: 9/24/08 at 9:12pmI don't think the delay was the fault of TKTS or the Theatre Development Fund. I think the new Duffy Square project was managed by the Times Square Alliance.

Posted: 9/24/08 at 10:12pmI've enjoyed looking at the glowing staircase at night. For all of the delays, it is kind of lovely.

Posted: 9/24/08 at 10:56pmyeah, I thought there was an announcement last year saying it was opening like "next week" at the time. What happened exactly?

Posted: 9/25/08 at 7:47amCredit cards have been taken at the London TKTS for a good many years, great for visitors!
A young actress with Noel coward after a dreadful opening night performance said to him 'Well, i knew my lines backwards this morning!''
Noels fast reply was ''Yes dear, and thats exactly how you said them tonight'!'
