A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC Rush — Page 3

People should know that there are only 13 standing room spots, and that if you see 13 people in line ahead of you, try again another day. They only give out 13 tickets for the rush, and one per student id, and they are strict about the id.

mybigsplash - define "strict on the ID." Mine doesn't have an expiration date on it...never had a problem before, but you mentioned they're strict...

So...just to report from today: A fellow poster, my friend and I were there around 6. No one else got there until after 8, and that was only 2 more people. The crowd didn't start til around 9:30.

They are standing room tix tho right?
I went to the box office yesterday and the guy told me only standing room is the rush.
Unless it's changed.

"A friend of mine and I got rush tickets for tonight's performance and didn't line up until about 9:35am. Even the people behind us who didn't line up until about 9:45am still got rush tickets, so it's completely unnececessary to get there 3.5 hours in advance!!!!!"

Indeed it was. But, the box office guys think I'm a hoot now. And I met someone who saw CATS 500 times. Or maybe it was 32. Either way, I loved him. OH, and someone threw a book on my blanket.

But, on the positive side of things, I have feeling in my finger tips again!

I was across the street at BURN THE FLOOR! If I'd known you were in that line, I would have come over to say hi!

(No, I don't enjoy waiting in line for no reason, I had planned on getting to the box office at 10 so I could buy my tickets and go straight to work, I just happened to get there a few minutes early, so I waited.)

I believe it's only for students

They didn't have to ask me...because I already had mine out of my wallet to show the man at the box office.

When I rushed MEMPHIS on Wednesday, they did not look at my ID.

I'm sure it depends on who is working the box office if they actually insist on seeing your ID, but yes, the SRO spots are reserved for students.

Most performances are completely sold out. There will be no seats.

Excuse me, I was asking a simple question that did not deserve a snarky response from anyone. I can't afford a seat for that much money. I apologize for wanting to sit for a 3 hour long show.


And last week there were 36 unused seats, there quite possibly could have been unused seats at th performance I went to. So my question was not stupid and seemed perfectly reasonable.

I can't afford a seat for that much money.
Then you stand up, as you did.

I apologize for wanting to sit for a 3 hour long show.
Then fork over the money.

You have two options here: either you pay more and sit, or pay less and stand. Why do you think you are entitled to a seat when your ticket says standing room? What makes you so special? If you want to spend less money, then you have to deal with the inconvenience of standing up. If you'd rather sit down, then you have to pay more. Maybe you save money for a little while to afford it. God forbid you don't get instant gratification.

I NEVER said I was entitled to sit. I was wondering if they sat the SRO people if there were open seats, I never said anything more. So I don't know where you got this whole complaint story from me in your head about me refusing to stand or whatever S*** you're making up.

And then you start talking about "instant gratification" I ask a simple question and you are going off on me. I'm sorry that I would like to see as many shows as possible and would rather see more than spend all my money on one. It would take me a while to save up for a seat. And this was the only time I could see the show for a long time.


Please take the stick out.
