Update: Yesterday, we ended up leaving my house later than we thought, and also we got caught in traffic. So, my parents got in line a few minutes before 10am, right before the box office opened; they said that there were eight people in line in front of them. My parents waited 10 minutes and were able to get 4 standing room tickets. It was easy, even though the show would later be sold out.

Thank you all! You've been really helpful. I'll have to convince my parents to do Standing Room, but I think it will be worth it to see Hello Dolly. It was great hearing about your experiences and knowing that we have those balcony tickets as a backup. Also, I'll be entering several virtual lotteries (last time I went to NYC, I won twice!), and hopefully we'll have plenty of options.

Any input would be greatly appreciated! :)

My parents are driving me and my friend (we don't have cars), and my parents refuse to leave earlier than 6am. It takes about 2.5 hours to get there, and we anticipate being there at the theater around 8:30am.

I'm planning a trip to NYC and would love to join the rush line for Hello Dolly. I was looking through the other Hello Dolly forums but couldn't determine a time to get there for the Wednesday 2pm matinee (and only the matinee, we have tickets for a show at 8pm). We're planning to line up at 8:30am. Does that time give us a fair shot at getting tickets? What can we expect the line to be like given that it's the Wednesday matinee? Thanks for any help you might give!
