Though it may be a little off topic, I just want to give a huge shout out to the Winter Garden Theater Box Office!  We had won the ticket lottery for the 3/16/24 matinee show, and the tickets we won was a horrible partial view seat on the extreme right side of the orchestra (Row G, 28 & 30).  I went to the box office at 10:10 and asked them what they could do to help me out if at all possible.  The sweet box office attendant told me to come back at 1:30 and they w

Rushed Sweeny Todd on 10/14/23 (Sat.), looking for matinee seats.  Arrived at 7:50, 17 people in line, 8:00 18 people, 9:00 38 people, 9:35 43 people, and 10:00 52 people.  First person arrived at 6:30.  At 10:05, before a single ticket was sold, a staff person from the theater came out and stated that there were no Rush tickets or standing room tickets for the 2:00 show, and no standing room and only a hand full of single seat (less than eight) Rush tickets for the 8:00 show w

We were just there two weeks ago and I cannot tell you the number of times (literally countless) in the past that we've gone to the 8th floor and never once I was stopped or asked to show a room key or anything else.  We just tend to walk in with a purpose and

My wife and I have a bunch of cups from different shows.  We use them all the the time, mostly for drinking water or watering plants, LOL!  We just hand wash them aft

We did the Rush on 10/15/22 (Saturday).  We were the first ones in line and we arrived to the theater at 7:43 am. By 8:00, the second person came to the line.  By 9:00, five people in line, 9:30 seven people, and at 10:00, 18 people were in line.  We were getting tickets for  the matinee show.  When it was time for us to purchase tickets, you had the option of getting partial view tickets for $40 or full view tickets for $59.  We chose the full view tickets. 

I rushed this show on 3/5/22.  Since that day, I've been reading other post stating that the seats folks have been getting are more often than not, limited or partial view.  The day that we rushed (matinee show), we got seats located in Row L, Seat 6 and 8.  Full unobstructed views of the stage.  Were we the exception rather than the rule? Would like to hear from others to see if they got full stage view or partial view/box seats for their rush tickets.  Maybe we

George Louis Holstein III said: "Thank you both for your reports! I will be rushing this Saturday (in need of matinee tickets) so I plan to arrive around 6:30 AM, I'll report back. Do you remember what time Hugh arrived at the theater?"

After getting the tickets, we didn't stick around to see when Hugh got to the theater.  Unlike the box office which is on Broadway, the stage door is on the other side of the theater on 7th Ave.  After we got our tic

We rushed on 3/5/22 (Saturday).  We arrived on line at 6:52. First person got in line at 4:30 am. When we joined the line, there were 21 people in line, though there may have been 18 in line as actual buyers (i.e. couples) that were getting tickets.  By 7:10, 33 folks, 8:00, 44 folks, 9:05, 51 folks, 9:30, 60 folks, 9:45, 70 folks.  If you counted individual heads, there was easily 90 people or more in line and the line stretched around the corner at Applebee's.  But a

Literally about a half hour later, I was notified that I had won ($35 each) a pair of tickets! I was pretty happy andshocked in getting notified so quickly, considering on the page where you enter the lottery, it states that the entry period closes at 3:00 pm and winners will be notified after that. I've won a few lotteries before, but never have I been not
