3Penny and Jersey Boys rush questions

I'm not sure about Threepenny, but I would rush about two and a half to three hours earlier from when they sell the tickets for Jersey Boys. I heard that people started lining up very early today for standing room, not rush. The rush is going to be crazy for a little while. Definitely tell your friend to line up earlier.

Really!?

Anyway, I should go see the show again.

I saw Jersey Boys standing room for $26.25. You miss a very little happening on the upper part of the stage, not much, and it's a great deal.

I just stopped at the box office at 7:30 one Thursday night and got lucky. I like standing room in a way because you don't have someone's head in front of you obstructing your view. They have a standing room line and start to sell the tickets at 7:00 PM. Great way to get in and see a sold-out show.

THREEPENNY has $25 day-of rush, seats located in the rear mezz. I've done this twice and I've usually got seats about three or four rows down from the back row. The few is fine and you can hear everything from the seats. It's general rush too, not just student.

hi~ i just saw threepenney opera yesterday. granted, it was wed matinee, but those get full too! anyways, i got general rush tickets, which are only on the side mezzanine, but i got the front row, which actually I don't recommend b/c there is a bar in the way (at least get second row). i didn't have to get up super early to get tickets either - i went around 11 am and were plenty of empty seats as well. enjoy! cindy lauper and jim dale and nellie mckay and alan cumming are amazing.

ON the last day-- will they most definately sell student rush for 3penny if I'm there when the box office opens??

i got in line 4 hours before the JERSEY student rush tickets went on sale yesterday (wednesday). i was the last in line. the box office guy came out, counted how many tickets we all wanted and told me i would get the last two and to tell that to anyone who might jump in line after me.

fast forward 4 hours later. after sitting there the entire time, i get to the box office and the guy goes... oh, i think we miscounted. i just sold the last two. good luck next time.

WHAT?! i was livid.

(ps. the reason it was so crowded yesterday was b/c ppl who had lined up around 9am for matinee rush tickets didnt get them so decided to wait in line for the evening show. as a result, very early in the morning the line was more than half full.)

Hi all, I'm new to the board = ]

I have a quick question. I'm dying to see Jersey Boys and I'm thinking about trying out the whole rush tickets system. My friend and I are interested in seeing a Wednesday evening show in the up coming weeks and according to advice given here, getting at the box office early is a must! Since rush tickets go on sale at 4 or 4:30 would 12 or 11 be a suitable time to go to the box office? Or is that too early? Pardon my ignorance but I'm new to this whole thing = ] Not broadway, just the rush tickets lol

Thanks in advance!

You're right lol

Are there always rush tickets available? I mean like every performance? Or those seats ever sold for full price, or are they solely seats for people who buy rush tickets?
