I was wondering if there are shows selling Rushtickets without really advertising them? For example A Beautiful Noise is selling in Person Rushtickets. But you cannot find anything about that on the Website (only about the lottery) and also on the Lottery/Rush List from playbill.com they only List the Lottery for Beautiful Noise. Somewhere I also read that Hadestown is doing Rush but Im not sure if that is true. Does anyone know about other Shows that sell Rush even tho it only says Lottery? That would be very good to know. Thank you :)

Did my first Rush this past Sunday. Got to theater for Purlie Victorious a half hour before it opened and my daughter and I were the first ones in line! By the time they opened at 12 there were maybe a dozen people behind us. We got Row B, Orch 111, 112 seats! Incredible!! Only $35 each. We saw the evening performance.

Hadestown does not have rush, only standing room when the show is sold out or close enough to being sold out

Hello! I’m headed to NYC this weekend, could anyone offer information if How to Dance in Ohio offers a rush? I have one slot left Saturday matinee (unless my Thursday Gutenberg! Rush/Lottery falls through). As of now it’s the only date not on TDF and looking at Telecharge it’s pretty well sold. I realize they just announced the closing date and this could also affect availability.

Their rush is $50 day of at the box office. If you attempt to win the digital lottery there's also a decent chance that would work based on what demand it is, and it would cost $35. (Demand will probably go up because they're closing, but I don't know how much.)

Has anyone had rush experience at The Notebook? Suggestions on what time to get to the box office and seat locations? I know this also has a lottery, but I’ve only seen it posted for certain performances. Headed to NY midweek, so I’m hoping a weeknight has better availability. Thanks!

Not sure how the rush experience is since it’s only been open for a week, but I will say they do have the digital lottery via the Telecharge website.

Personally, I went this past Sunday night and walked up at 5:30 and got Orchestra E-2 for $49, which was fantastic considering it’s a premium seat and I’m also enormously tall.

ABN's rush is a "secret". Not advertised but now that the show's been open for over a year, it's not much of a secret anymore. Also heard they upped it to $50 now (was $45).

Does An Enemy of the People sell standing room at the box office when the show sells out?  I see that some lottery winners are assigned standing but I haven't won in many tries and with the show selling out regularly, I was hoping that they might sell some additional standing spots at the box office.

Ive done Rush/Lotterys many times (my last Trip in April 23 I won 7 Lotterys in 12 days 😳🤩) but I still have some questions. 

A lot of Shows offer Rush and Lottery and they are different prices. Sonetimes Lottery costs more, sometimes Rush costs more. Is there a reason for that? Does it have something to do with seating locations? 

Does anyone know how the high the demand for sweeney rush is at the moment? Do they always have rushtickets? When should I be there? 

What seats did you get through Little Shop Lottery?

How much is A beautiful Noise Rush at the moment? I heard different prices and its not listed on the website.

Thank you :)

I won the Little Shop lottery about a year ago and the seats were great - Row C on the right side of the theater.  It's such a small space that I'm not sure if there's a bad seat anywhere.

I went to the box office about an hour before curtain Thursday night. She offered me standing room (among other options) and the show wasn’t sold out.

I kept loosing the lottery for An Enemy of the People. I went to the box office at 5pm. I purchased a standing room ticket for an 8pm performance (on a Friday). The play started very late (8:10pm). The managers and ushers were giving out sheets of paper to move to actual seats since they were empty at the last minute (given to the standing room crowd).

A Beautiful Noise's rush price is $45. But I've heard they boost it up if the show is near a sellout. Over the Christmas holidays it either wasn't available or it was $75. It's very easy to get on a weeknight. The availability is less for any of the matinees and the seats may be rear orchestra or partial view.

99% sure they'll sell them. The price may differ though if it's near a sellout.

I stopped by The Notebook on Thursday around 12pm and she said all she had left was Partial View Boxes for $49. It was just an experiment because I had tickets already. Just wanted to report back!
