I went yesterday with the intention of trying to purchase 2 rush tickets. I didn't get to the theater until 10:45, at which point they only had one single rush ticket left (partial view). That said, I did end up getting two $49.50 center orchestra full view seats so I'd say I made out in the end.
Just a heads up to anyone who plays and wins this lottery. The e-mail you receive says to pick up the tickets before 90 minutes prior to curtain. And they mean it! I won yesterday for the evening show and unfortunately arrived at the theater a few minutes past 6:30 due to issues with the train and was refused my tickets. I was told that at promptly 6:30 all unclaimed lotto seats are released back into the pool of regular priced tickets for purchase and there was nothing they could do. Needles...
My boyfriend and I will be at the LincTix event. We saw the show and loved it but haven't listened to the cast recording yet as we'll be receiving copies at the event. Mostly we're going because it was only $20 and that in itself is the cost of a cast recording so we might as well get free food and drinks as well considering we were planning on buying the recording anyway.
In addition to the $20 signed playbills and $5 photos with the sailors Dame at Sea now has signed posters for $60 and the Carols for a Cure CD for $20.
For those who have gotten the student rush tickets, did the Box Office ask for your student ID? After seeing the shows first preview and friends missing out the chance to see it last week I really want them to see it this coming weekend while they are in town again. I can't recall a single theater that's actually asked to see my ID when it's been listed as a 'student rush' and was wondering if it would be worth it to bring my friends to get tickets despite their not having student ID's.
I'll be there tomorrow. Disappointed that a lottery/rush policy hasn't been announced yet though as I have friends in from out of town this weekend who really want to see this but are on a tight budget.
I'm disappointed I didn't know about this event till just now. Any show for $20 is worth it. Has their lotto/rush policy been announced yet? I haven't seen anything about it.
A few weeks ago I bought a rush ticket for a Saturday evening no more than 10 minutes before curtaincurtain. I was in center orchestra row Q. And last night I bought tickets around 3:30 and was in left orchestra row M. Regardless of when you show up to the theater you'll end up with good seats.
The entire event was pretty amazing and well worth the hour that I stood outside waiting to get in. The use of circus performers was unusual but they were amazingly talented and their costumes were beautiful. Chip Zien was great. Being able to see the original Baker perform (with himself as a duet) was quite spectacular. Rufus Wainwright and Lance Horne. Michael McElroy and Broadway's Inspirational Voices closing the show with 'Sunday'. I was tearing up. And although I agree with Kyle4 that i...
I was at this concert last night and there were plenty of press filming and photographing the event. I'm sure things will begin popping up soon enough.
I really hope I made it in with the winners; when I checked last night I was in the top 25 but this morning when I woke up I had been bumped down to 27. =/ Either way, thanks to anyone who clicked my link.
