… That or TodayTix needs to run software to prevent multiple rush wins. Why take so many chances away from others to see the show? Lottery I understand, but rush?
Back when I’d do different stuff online, I’d learn that there’s software people can run so their computer/phone starts “clicking repeatedly” to ensure they’re the first person when the clock changes to 10:00AM. Same idea when computer graphics cards would drop with ticket rushes.
adding a limit makes sense. Because who needs those specific rush tickets 8 times for a limited run? Be serious.
"
If they were buying up the tickets and scalping them (like some people do with the lotto seats/SRO for AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE), then I could understand a restriction for a single person.
However, capping rush tickets is a slippery slope since then, say (hypothetically) a show wasn’t doing so hot, and the production released additional rush tickets to entice more people to see it at a lower price point - you have now shut out some of the consistent patrons with an arbitrary limit and shot yourself in the foot. I wouldn’t have been able to see A STRANGE LOOP as many times as I did if they restricted rush access.
Ultimately, it’s a free market - if someone enjoys the show, they should go see it as many times as they wish. Regardless of who buys the ticket, TT will get their money and the production will get theirs. It just sounds more like sour grapes that some people aren’t as lucky at getting the rush tickets than others and so they want to change the rules.
