9 to 5 Rush...?- Page 3

I find Lotteries to be sort of fun. I like them, much more fun than standing on a line for 2 or more hours. But whatever this show has I will do it, I am willing to stand on line for a few hours for tickets, I'm so excited.

If you lose a lotto you can always bring some printed out discount codes with you and try to get tickets for a show.

I've made some awesome friends in the student rush line! The whole musical theatre and Broadway thing doesn't have a huge fan base and it can be hard to meet other people who are into it but in a student rush line, you just turn around and ask "How long have you been waiting?" or "Is this the first time you're seeing this?" and get the conversation started! :)

EDIT: Yes, but that would be $25 vs. $50 which is money that I don't have and didn't work into my trip budget. Updated On: 3/30/09 at 03:43 PM

Shouldn't they be announcing the policy soon? Previews start next week.

I absolutely hate it when a person drops there name in for lotto 2 minutes before the draw and then they win.

I understand if you hate it, but you've gotta understand that that's the POINT of a lottery. Nobody "deserves" to see a show any more than anyone else, and bitching because they did is childish.

I hope they have a student rush (easier for me) but a lotto would be the best option financial and marketing-wise.

^ Also, no one told you to drop your name in at the start and stand around waiting. You can come at any point during that 30 minutes and put your name in.

Bump - they really should know by now.

Asked today. They still don't know. They said it was "looking like" a lottery.

I guess it will announced in the coming days.

I don't understand the comment about folks trying the lottery that "can obviously afford full price". How do you know who can afford it and who cannot? That's like saying only certain people can shop at Macy's when there's a sale. Because that's what rush OR lotto is: a sale.

That being said, I have never tried to win any sort of Lotto and no longer qualify for student rush. Additionally, seeing that I'm from Boston, it makes little sense to "risk" getting tix for a show since that IS my reason for getting into the city. But I utilize discount codes as often as possible, so that I can afford to see as many shows as possible.

I went to the box office yesterday night to check...they said that the producers may make their decision on Monday. They just said there would be a rush or a lottery.

[CSonBroadway]

Posted: 4/4/09 at 5:11pm

They MIGHT make it on Monday? That's very close to the first preview.

[musicman_bwayfan]

Posted: 4/4/09 at 5:47pm

Yes...they are pushing things...at this rate, they will start a rush or lottery program after the Tony Awards!

Anyone stopping by today to check? I literally haven't made plans for this weekend yet because I'm waiting to hear what the policy and what times/slots I need to devote (no snickering...)

What times does the box office close today?

I think I'm going to rush MARY STUART so maybe I'll stop by.

[MiracleElixir]

Posted: 4/6/09 at 4:59pm

They close at 8.

I had a friend stop by this afternoon.

The man at the box office said that "no rush or lottery will be offered at least until after we open, if then."

Many of the front row seats that had been held for whatever they were going to implement have been released, he said.

Odd.

Posted: 4/6/09 at 5:11pm

That's so strange...

Well, sometimes the people at the box office are mistaken and sometimes the powers that be change their minds. I'm willing to bet that sometime in the near future they'll issue a rush or lottery policy.

That's f**king c**ks***king horses**t. What f**king c**t a****le made this decision? I hope they f**king get a**f**ked in Hell by Satan's massive f**king c**k for this s**t.

Seriously, not cool.

Well, I'm not rushing MARY STUART. So I won't stop by. Updated On: 4/6/09 at 05:17 PM

Actually, Ticketmaster released front row seats of Wednesday show.

^^I wonder if you can get those tickets with the discount code...

But on no lotto or rush until after opening (or not at all). Perhaps they are waiting to see how well they sell? They could always add a "best available" student rush that is 2 hours before show at any time.

Hey I just tried the BroadwayBox discount code and it didn't work. Did you use a code to get the great released house seat?
