I'm really curious about this too. Also, where have the seats been located?
When I rushed Casa Valentina seats were best available mezz, might not be the same tho. I know the front row(s) are the 30for30 seats. That's what I had for Constellation in previews
Saturday the 17th at 5:10pm there were 21 people in line. They were giving out rush seats at 6:00pm I didn't stay to find out any more info. I knew 50 minutes was pushing it, but thought I'd stop by and take a look.

I hear it is very busy, but there is a possibility of getting a good seat. On Twitter, somebody said they rushed this Friday night and got an orchestra seat (row o, they said). I hope to rush this in a few weeks and will report back to how this is!
Anybody know what time people start lining up for a matinee ticket? Surprised so little chatter about this show on the board.
Also, anybody know if there are currently any 30 under 30 offers? They have my old college email, so I haven't received any emails in a couple years. PM me?

I've tried twice for Constellations rush (which is exclusively student rush, so get that student ID ready). Both times I showed up about 15 minutes before they started to give out tickets, which is two hours before showtime. Both times, there were five to ten people in front of me when they ran out of tickets. If you want these tickets, I recommend getting to the box office 45 minutes to an hour before they start giving away the tickets. I'd also be interested what other people's experiences have been :)

If you think about it they must only hold a really select amount of tickets since the show generally sells out every performance. So if I get there about an hour and a half before they start selling the tickets you think I'd be OK?
I got there at about 4:30 on a Friday, and I was 3rd in line. Seats were in the last row of the orchestra, in the center. Great seats!

Based on my experience, I think you would be fine with getting there an hour and a half before showtime. I think the box office must give out between 15-30 tickets each performance for student rush.

New 30 under 30 were just released. I got front row on the center aisle. Kind of crazy!

For those curious about Wed matinees, I showed up today at 11:55. There were only 4 people ahead of me (each buying 1 ticket). A couple people walked in right after me. Tickets went on sale at 12 noon. I got a great seat in the orchestra.

If anyone goes to a Sunday matinee, let me know. I'm thinking of rushing on either a Friday or Sunday (I don't live in the city, and I'd assume Saturday availabilty wouldn't be great). Thanks!
Is there a certain like "code" for 30 under 30? I signed up but never got an email.
Broadway Legend Joined: 5/6/11
Yes, you do need the code or email link to purchase 30 under 30 tickets online. If you don't get their email, just resign up with a different email. That's what I did.

Oh sorry I misread and thought you were asking about the rush. My bad!
Just an FYI on 30 Under 30- I printed out the latest code which was emailed yesterday afternoon and went to the box office after to work to try to get tickets. I was informed that the entire allotment for this particular two week period sold out online within 20 minutes, so I guess I'll be ordering online and paying Telecharge fees when the next allotment becomes available.

A similar experience happened to me a few weeks ago when the previous code came out. I went to the box office about 2-3 hours after the code was emailed and most of the seats I had noted from online and were trying to snag were gone. I finally found one with the help of the box office attendant, but he said they had been going really fast!
I found the show to be pretty enjoyable, but despite only being 75 minutes dragged in the middle. The acting was fantastic.
Wow. Crazy that they sold so fast. I was utterly shocked to receive front row on the aisle.

I lined up for the saturday matinee pretty early and was first in line and had seats in the second row of the orchestra.

Has anyone rushed this recently? Is it still a little crowded? I'll be going to the city in 2 weeks and want to catch this on my Friday night.
Any recent updates? It's in its final week, so I assume it'll be crazy! I'm thinking of trying to rush tomorrow for the matinee or the evening performance. Thanks in advance!
