Rush Line Drama?  Aug 24 2019, 02:22:38 PM

I've been in line waiting to buy non-rush tickets and overheard customers yelling about how student rush was "discriminatory" and/or "ageist" multiple times. Making theatre available to students (typically people with less income/savings) has a specific purpose, and it's the people who can 100% afford full price tickets on the regular that complain about it. Anyone of any age can be a student/go back to school. I typically have good experience in general rush

Discount Codes  Jul 30 2019, 03:32:47 PM

Sometimes I've had to hand over my mailer at the box office to use the mailing discount. I don't know why it's at some theatres but not others, but a couple times I didn't bring it with me so I had to look up the Broadway Box discount in the lobby

Bad Theater Behavior  May 10 2019, 09:34:51 AM
I won the Hamilton lottery last December and was in the second row orchestra. There was a family of five right behind me, two parents and three children. The eldest child was about 11-12 and started singing along during some songs. It was slightly annoying but I just ignored it because it was during all the large ensemble pieces so it wasn't too distracting. But when we got to Act 2, she started singing along during Burn. I turned my head around to look at her with a silent "I'm aware that you'r

Didn't they just release some clips to TheaterMania? I assumed those were from BRoll but I don't know what else they'd be filming tonight then

ADA Seats Question  Mar 30 2019, 11:46:13 PM
They're ADA seats for a reason. If you need ADA locations, great, they're for you. If you want them because they're "better seats" or a "better price", you're potentially taking them away from someone who needs them and taking advantage of accessibility seating. You can sit in 99% of the theatre on any given day and they might not. Theatre should be available to as many people as possible, and purchasing ADA seats when you don't need them sounds pretty unethical imo

The seats for Hadestown are really scattered throughout, some better than others...
"

I have a running theory that TDF tickets are printed and then distributed alphabetically. My last name is at the very end of the alphabet and my seats are consistently farther back than other TDF locations reported on this board

I rushed in November and the couple in front of me was asking about better seats and the box office people were not happy. Granted, I think it had more to do with the

Interesting choice, I'm glad I'll get a chance to see it now. And happy for the Hayes staff!
Once on This Island Rush  Dec 26 2018, 09:21:12 PM
I was told that there's already no more rush offered, just standing room once they sell out.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Seating/Pricing Thread  Sep 27 2018, 11:28:58 AM
My bars moved at different speeds so they were in different places, but I was just surprised how vague it was

fwiw, it doesn't look like there are any "entry tickets" (aka less than $100) offered until May 15, although all were gone/in carts by the time I got in. I clicked on the lowest standard price ($99) on a couple dates just to see what it would give me and it's Balcony F/G on the far sides, seats where I've previously paid $20 and $40. Cursed Child dynamic pricing strikes again!

Joined at 3 different times during the half hour on 3 different windows, all of them say 2000+ users ahead of me. Pretty sure last time they at least gave you a concrete number

Thanks for following up! Although I wish they were $99 total that's still great seats!
