Blackbird Rush — Page 2

I got to the box office the day before opening around 6:30 and asked for a rush ticket. He said they were out, but he had $39 tickets available in the balcony, so I did that. Between the proscenium and the railing, I could only see a sliver of the stage, but luckily, that sliver is where all the action happened. There was only one moment when they were on the floor that everyone in the balcony had to lean forward to see.

I think I was row D? It was the last row of the center section, which was actually good because I could lean way forward without worrying about blocking anyone's view.



You should be okay in row A, although I'm not sure exactly how high the railing is for you.

I'm sure we could have gotten front row seats if we had gone in the morning but for no wait at all and only $32 the box was amazing! Did not miss a thing."



Does anyone know if the front row is saved for rush tickets? From the messages, it sounds like they might be but I want to check before going!

Just an update. Got to the box office tonight (Monday, 3/2 at 6:15 pm asking about rush for the 8 pm show and was given two tickets, second to last row dead center orchestra.

From what I read in the last two posts, rush is not just the front row. I will be arriving at JFK mid May (Wednesday) approximately 8:15 am. By the time I take the subway in and get to the theater it will be about 9:30. I am looking for the evening performance. What is the opinion of getting the front row arriving so late? And if I can't get those, rush for back of orchestra or at the worse the $39 balcony? Grosses have been 70% or even less. But I don't know what impact Tony nominations may be for sales.

Since there are two shows on Wed, you may have a decent shot getting front row seats for the less popular performance time. Side orchestra is not that bad, and they usually give you somewhere in the middle rows, not the rear ones (I know people who have gotten rows H and K for rush seats)

I got there just before 9:30 for a Friday night show in March and got tickets just fine.
