The Times Center Stage can be reached via the West 41st Street entry of the new Times tower (620 8th Avenue) and general admission costs $30. It is at times like this that I wish I lived in New York city, because this is one event I would love to attend! For all you lucky NY city residents and visitors who are thinking of attending, my advice is to make a decision soon, because tickets are already half sold and the event is expected to sell out.
