First preview is today - has anyone won the lottery? How about reports from the rush line today? (I'm hoping to go on Monday next week!)

Anyone in the rush line today? What's it looking like?

I went a few minutes after 10 today and there were two groups ahead of me so must not have been much of a line. They said rush seats were off to the side and obstructed view but they aren't sure how obstructed since it's the first show. They also had a "flash sale" for $69 for the second row and I think every one there opted for that instead.

Got there at about 10:30 this morning. No line. Lovely man at the box offered the $69 but opted for the $47 rush. In the first row of the orchestra far to the left. Not picky about seats though especially since I saw this Off-Broadway.

Thanks, kdotfo and InTheBathroom1!

The ASL Instagram account reposted someone’s story who also opted for rush. Looks like they got Orch seats 2-4. Tickets are in fact stamped obstructed view.

Please post your experiences with sight lines! And whether window cards are on sale.

Thanks again!

My friend won the lottery for last night's performance. $43, we were first row center. The stage is quite high and I am 5'1" so I had a hard time seeing some stuff that happened upstage. But overall it was a great view, and John-Michael Lyles in particular made a lot of eye contact with the first row.

Just went to the box office at 2pm today (Mon the 18th) and got two rush seats for $47 each - ORCH left seats 13 and 15.

We also heard the cast rehearsing from the lobby, and the intimacy director came out to talk the box office and had a few minutes to talk to us. Box office guy said there was only about 20-30 tickets left for tonight in total.

Rushed this show today (Wednesday April 20th) and got on the line around 8:40am and was third on the line. The First person said they got there 8:20am. By 10 am there were about 10 people. Got Orchestra A2 for the matinee which was stamped as obstructed but didnt really miss much. However the stage is very high up.

I just rushed today (Mon 25 Apr). Got there 8:30am and was 2nd in line (person before me was 7:30am I believe). 3rd person got there maybe 8:50am, 4th person not too long after that. By 10am I'd guess there were about 10-15 in line?

Rushed today, too! Got there at 9:45am, was 8th in line. By 10am, there were 12 people in line. I got Orchestra Row F 13 & 15 - partial view, but barely missed anything.

Anyone have luck using TKTS booth for cheap decent tickets? Trying to go in a week and a half or so on a saturday 2pm show when visiting the city. Seems safer to try to get into the ticket pool a day before at TKTS and maybe it's still a good deal? 

 

Worried about trying to race there saturday morning since I'm staying far south.

I won the lottery for this on 4/23 evening. Front row center, AA108. Marked partial view due to the insanely high stage. Needed a booster seat and my neck hurt but otherwise, great seat.

I got an $88 ticket last Thursday around 3:00 for a Thursday evening show from the TKTS booth - it was the centre aisle in row J on the left (because I specifically requested an aisle seat). They seemed to have a good amount of availability throughout the theatre. They offered me row K in the centre, but I chose row J on the aisle instead. The seat was perfect.

Got to the box office on Wednesday 4/20 around 10:50am and asked about rush tickets. They had rush tickets at $47 on extreme sides and I was also offered back of the balcony for $49. I went for the $47 orch side tickets and got D11 and 13, which were definitely side views (missed the L most thought when in their squares) but overall didn't miss much else.

Has anyone tried rushing on a Sunday or know what the policy is? On the website it says the box office is only open Mon - Sat so was wondering if rush is still an option for Sunday and the website just isn't updated?

There are no shows for A Strange Loop on Sunday, hence why there’s no rush.

That is incorrect. They are doing two shows tomorrow, 5/1, and then Sunday matinees. Box Office opens at noon I think and almost sure they are doing rush.

If anyone has TDF, seats for Sunday matinee were right in the center orchestra. Amazing show and amazing seats. Quite a few empty ones in front of me, probably because the show isn't for everyone even though everyone NEEDS to go and see it.

Any post-tony nomination reports? I was there Saturday and while Kyle Ramar Freeman was AMAZING, I want to see Jaquel Spivey before the Tony’s, so considering trying to rush this Saturday matinee. Would 2 hours be enough time? 1 hour?

I arrived for Sunday's matinee (with a 3:00 curtain and a box office open time of noon) at 9AM and I was literally 20 seconds behind a group of 4 who were the first ones in line. Hope this helps!!!

Thanks. It would also be good to know how the crowd grew over the 3 hours you were there, how many there were waiting at box office opening, your sense of how many people actually got tickets if you have a guess at that and where your seats were.

I didn't really pay attention to the line behind me. The first two people in line got Orch AA 111 & 110. The next two people got Orch A 1, 3, & 5 and I got Orch A 2 & 4. Beyond that I don't know because by then my back was killing me and we were starving so left to immediately go get lunch. Sorry I don't have more info for you. With their 11 Tony noms, it is only going to get more popular and busier so I would suggest getting there pretty early. Just my opinion, of course.
