Sorry for this , I know how annoying these threads can be but I was wondering if the student rush tickets are all partial view. Also is the line usually long? I have brunch reservations at Normas at 11am Saturday, would I make it there on time if the box-office opens at 10. And finally how much are the tickets on TKTS?

Yes, I'm pretty sure all student rush tickets are partial view. However I know one time my friend rushed Spring Awakening she was told the tickets were partial view but when she got to the box office window the guy sold her a 2nd row center full view seat for rush price (she didn't even ask for it). So I guess yes technally the policy is parital view but it depends on who you get at the box office. Also if the show isn't selling out and they have a bunch of full view's left most likely they'll give you that bc if they don't think they'd get full price for it, it's better to get $26.50 for a seat then have it left empty.
TKTS: I've personally never used it, but I know the tickets are between $55-70 each. My mom used it once for Beauty and the Beast(back when it was on bway) and she got tickets for $65 I think she said they came to $69 each with TKTS fees, and they were last row center ORC. Which we later realized we could of goten tickets for $65 directly from the box office with a discount code from online and at the box office you can select your seats. TKTS gives you what they have. Also with TKTS I remember I was at Spring Awakening like 2 weeks b4 it closed and asked the guy what he had for the night show. He was like Standing room is the cheapest we have and some premium seats, if u want a seat try TKTS there's $70 tonight. I asked him where they were he said Side Partial view. So Be careful with TKTS most times if it's on TKTS u can go to the box office and get better seats for either cheaper or the same price as TKTS.
Also I know Guys & Dolls has a discount out there for I believe $51.50.
Hope I helped & after it opens I think they'll have SRO at least they did for RENT anyway.

Thanks coolkid. Wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy a $50 rear mezz ticket than wait at TKTS so? What is the view like from there?

n2005- I guess so. I thought TKTS would be 40% off the $50 tickets too.

Wow! coolkid was helpful? Go coolkid!

Eleanor ~ The tkts price would range from 25% to 50% off depending on what the producer have arranged. But I don't think I've ever seen those off the cheaper prices. It's usually off the top regular price. At least in my experience. (Probably because the cheaper tickets usually sell out WAY before the top priced ones._

The partial view seats are VERY bad
