Ugh - I was debating between purchasing through TDF and rushing, but now TDF has no availability for tomorrow when I was planning to go.  I can't get in to the city until later in the day so I don't think rush is a good option.  I guess I'll just cross my fingers that TDF puts it back up.

How early did you get there for those Rush seats?

I am planning to see the play on Thursday.  I have a TDF membership.  Would I be better off purchasing the tickets on TDF or trying rush?

TKTS didn't have much that we could agree on so we split up - 2 of us waited on the Hamilton cancellation line; 2 waited for Rush tickets at Hello, Dolly.  Dolly came through first so that's what we saw.  $69 for first mezz with a slightly obstructed view.  We thought that was pretty good considering Bette was playing Dolly in this performance.

One person in the group doesn't want to see Carousel.

We were planning for a matinee and TPTGW only has an evening show.  I do plan on seeing it before it leaves BW - will probably buy through my TDF membership.

I read on another post that the Mean Girls lottery generated a huge crowd.

Hi all!  I'm headed to NYC with 3 friends to see a show this Wed..  TDF doesn't have anything great offered for that day.  In your experience, which shows would we be most likely to get rush or lottery seats if we opt for trying that over TKTS? (No desire to see Head Over Heels or Getting the Band Back Together.)

Woo Hoo - I was able to get seats as well.  Hopefully, my daughter will be off from work, but my husband is my backup if not.

Any idea how long the line is?

Sent you a message.  My daughter is a HUGE fan of Broadway and I love to encourage her passion, but buying 2 tickets for BroadwayCon isn't quite in my budget.

Trying to decide is I should sign up -- have there been many decent offerings lately?  I was a member in the past, but didn't renew my membership since I only made one or two purchases.  Since I work full-time, I can really only see weekend performances.

 

** Edited - eh, it's only $35 - just renewed.
