I Love NY

My mother-in-law's sister was recently in town visiting from Israel. Since she loves going to the city, my MIL decided to take her to a Broadway show. Now I've personally never tried it, but apparently there's this place near Times Square called TKTS where you can get Broadway tickets for that day at half price and as expected, there's always a long line.

They were told that the windows closes at 2:00 (remember this key part of this tale) so my MIL and her sister get there a little before that. The lines were long as usual but they managed to make it to the window with a couple of minutes to spare. The following is what happened:

MIL: Do you have tickets to "The Producers"?

TKTS: Yes. How many would you like?

MIL: We'll take 2 please.

TKTS: OK. That'll be $100.

My MIL then starts laying the bills down on the counter. $20, $40, $60, $80...

TKTS: 2:00! *SLAM!* and pulls the window shut.

My MIL is left standing there with what I would assume was an incredulous look on her face, and $80 still sitting on the counter.

They did not get to see "The Producers".

True Story. You gotta love NY.
