High rush?

This puzzles me, yes I understand that the rush policy for High is a youth discount, but why not just make it a general rush.
When I went to the box office yesterday to inquire I was told it was a "Youth discount" the words of the box office lady she said that "You MUST have an ID that shows you are between 17-21".

I think that is a pretty silly policy esp. considering they need all the $ they can get so why don't they make it a general rush?
Note: I am 19 so I can buy a ticket under the current policy so Im not complaining b/c I can't buy a ticket, im just wondering why if they need to sell tickets they don't open the rush tickets to everyone. She told me that the front row is held for rush at $26.50 so In my mind they sell it for $26.50 no matter what so it's not like they are getting more $ for the front row from people who aren't between 17-21
Just something to think about

If you're over 21 and end up buying a more expensive ticket then I guess it was effective..

i feel its more so having to do with the play material it deals with teen drug use and other themes like that and i feel they want that demo to be able to access the tickets

I think it is an attempt to open up the traditional student rush and make it instead a youth rush in order to include college-age kids who aren't in college. But it oddly eliminates 15- and 16-year olds, and pretty much leaves older students in the dust. I see what they're trying to do, not sure there isn't a better way to do it, however, especially since they're not currently breaking box office records.

I did rush it today with my 20-year old son and we both loved it.

If all you really can afford is rush, just ask someone who's in the age range to use their ID for you.

@april hi april i believe it was you and your soon who were next to me in the front today :) and in regards to not breaking records they have only had 3 performances this seems like a show once word gets out sales will pick up....

What time did most of you rush? I'm wanting to see it on a Saturday, I'm just not sure if I can get away with rushing around 4 or 5pm or if I need to get there at 10am.

Furthermore, any idea how many rush seats they sell and if they're all front row?

I think its 14 or 17 front row seats

This rush policy is just a sick way for the producers to lure underage children into a theater and show them full frontal male nudity. They should be arrested for distributing pornography to children.

Well, I was TRYING to have a conversation with her. But even the Ouija board told me it wasn't worth my time.

Ooooh. Really snappy comeback, there - on the other hand, you have conclusively proven that it is possible to have a childish mentality past the age of 21.

And your comeback there was snappy as well. I mean it, I'm at a loss for something else to say to you now, you're just THAT witty.

I'm funna go play wif my legos now. And you should put on a clean diaper and go out and enjoy the day. It's beautiful outside.
