Student Rush / Hotel - Springbreak Help

I'm from Alabama and I'm looking to go to NYC for my springbreak for a couple days and see a couple shows. I was just wondering if any of you knew the cheapest hotel that is pretty central to broadway/times square area? Also, how does Student Rush work? Do all shows have student rush, if so, how does it work?

There is a great place called "The Big Apple Hostel". Which is like dorm style living for cheap. The rooms are very small, but I'm sure you won't be spending much time in your room anyway. You can also get single rooms which are more private, and though they are more expensive, they are still considerably cheaper than a hotel in NYC. Here is the website if you are interested:

Most shows have rush policies. Generally, you show up 2 1/2 hrs before showtime and enter your name. One entry per person. Some shows are one ticket per entry, some two. Draw is done 2 hrs before showtime and if you're chosen you need to line up and show photo i.d. and pay with cash. Cost varies from show to show but is usually in the $20-25 range. Keep in mind that lotto for some shows is EXTREMELY popular and chances of winning at ANY lotto can be slim depending on the day (especially during spring break weeks). If there's a particular show that you really want to see, especially if you're travelling from Alabama, consider ordering ahead, maybe looking into student tix.

Hotels are pricy. The cheapest option is the hostel already mentioned but it fills up quickly. Other inexpensive options are places like the Edison, Milford Plaza (awful), have a look at travelocity or orbitz for your best prices then check here with names to see what people think. If you're going with a group of people you can split the cost and get something decent for a few days.
