One of the FOH employees posted her condolences. I believe she’s an usher at the St. James.

Where were your RUSH seats for these shows (and would you advise for or against them)? May 5
2024, 06:21:46 AM
I rushed Gatsby on Thursday evening for an 8pm curtain. Arrived at the box office around 7pm and secured Orchestra F, two seats away from center aisle. Perfect view.
Mary Jane & Mother Play only offer rush through TodayTix unless you’re a student or under 30.
I’ve tried to rush W4E during the day as I can’t make mornings and have always been denied despite being poorly sold through in some instances.

I can attest to that. I attempted to purchase tickets at 12:30pm ET on the day of the announcement and those dates were already sold out.

It has a certain charm that you just can't stop smiling from beginning to end. Were there issues? Of course. But I wasn't bothered by them. Corey and McKenzie are wonderful. The whole cast is giving 150%. The dance numbers are electric, arrangements are a blast. I think a lot of work will be done and it'll be even better in a few weeks.

Gothamist: Why are Broadway tickets so expensive right now? It’s not just inflation. Apr 5

This $50 offer had a strict time window. A more apt description for this was any seat purchased between 10am—1pm was $50. Frankly, it was even more restrictive than a regular rush policy.

GUTENBERG! How Early for Rush Tickets? Jan 21
2024, 08:24:34 PM
Hi there! I rushed last Wednesday. I arrived at the Box Office around 1:30pm and was able to secure a rush seat for the 2pm matinee. The weather was on my side—it was freezing and it had snowed the night before—so I knew odds were favorable. Good Luck!

That promotion was a bit misleading. What they portrayed as groundbreaking was simply just rush. $50 seats are only available from 10a-1pm. I had a very similar experience to the OP at the Ohio box office. Attendant was rude and although they had PLENTY of empty seats, the cheapest seat he offered me was $129 because I was outside of the gated hours. I walked over to Spamalot—a far more popular choice—and snagged $49 Rush seats in the orchestra. The Ohio strategy baffles & per

Rush Tickets Late Afternoon/Early Evening May 6
2023, 06:14:08 PM
They were marked “partial view” and I definitely missed parts of scene that elicited a reaction from the audience but for $35 no complaints. I was still able to follow the story—as much as you can with Grey House—without issue.

I typically purchase Rush tickets in the evening after work and have been mostly successful. Tonight, I purchased 2 rush tickets ($35/pp) for Grey House at 7pm (Orchestra F13); last Thursday, purchase tickets to Parade for $79 a few minutes before curtain. Orchestra L.

Happy to hear rushing worked for you! What day/date did you try? I want to catch this before it closes and can’t really pay full price.

I’ve tried to rush this show several times and was always turned away. Granted, I was arriving at the window 2 hours prior to curtain due to work but seeing their level of sell-through, you would’ve hoped they would’ve been more accommodating. I don’t think there was much interest in raising their financial viability. Better a discounted seat than an empty one, IMHO.
