Help! My 25 year old daughter is now meeting us in New York for our trip the 21-25 and I really want her to see Avenue Q. I've been driving her crazy with talking about it and making her listen to the OCR. I just tried to get tickets through telecharge and the Wed mat is the only one with tickets and I don't think she can get there on the bus from Boston that early. Does anyone have a ticket they are not using either the 22nd or the 23rd. Also how does the rush work and how early do you have to get there. PM me or post anything that might help. Thanks. By the way I just got great tickets to Hairspray on the 21st, row C seats 105-106!

Wait in the cancellation line that day. If you wait right until the show, you'll probably get in. Make her stop listening to the CD, it gives way too much away, it will completely ruin the show for her.

How early should she get in line do you think? I made her listen on the way to the airport once but I don't think she was really paying much attention.

Hey! I just did cancellations last wednesday the 14th. I tried lottery at 12:00 and lost. then five minutes later i went to the box office and asked for cancellations. I got 5th row center orchestra. Didnt have to wait at all! Get their at least 2 hours before the show starts. You may be lucky, like me, and get tix right away, but if you wait until the show starts there is a pretty good chance you will get one! Hope this helps!

Avenue Q's line doesn't usually seem to be that long, so I would agree, try the lottery first, then get in line.
