Eh, though it might not be much consolation to those saddened by the not-terribly-promising state of a 9 TO 5 rush/lotto, I just stopped by the NORMAN CONQUESTS box office on the way home, and was told there will indeed be a student rush for every performance.
When the box office opens -- $27 per ticket, 2 tickets per ID. Updated On: 4/6/09 at 07:41 PM
Anyone have any stories about the rush? How was it? How many were in line? Can you purchase marathon tickets on Saturday mornings or do you have to purchase one at a time two hours before? I was considering going on Saturday and would appreciate the info.
Just picked up a ticket for this evening -- got Row B in the 400s (408 and 409 I think). Anyway, according to the box office person, they just sell whatever they have available, so feasibly, as long as they're not sold out, you can show up anytime before curtain and get a seat. Hope that helps.
Okay, that's good to know. When I went to rush "Next to Normal" the guy said they were out and that the rush is only in the morning, so it's good to know that you can go any time of the day to get a ticket for this.
"so it's good to know that you can go any time of the day to get a ticket for this."
I guess I just wasn't lucky on Friday afternoon when I went to the box office around 4:15, and found no single ticket available for that night's Table Manners at that moment. The kind guy tried his best to ask the manager (I suppose, as he paced to the back office), directed me to "Ticketus" (hah, Everyday Rapture) but advised me to check back closer to curtain. Ended up with Irena's Vow instead, which was a good choice, I must say.
No, apparently the rush is VERY easy. I'm hearing they offer tickets unless they're sold out which they have not been close to since performances started.
Someone I know went literally five minutes before curtain on a Saturday night and got a great seat and said that there were still a bunch of empty seats that could have been used for rush had they been purchased.
