Crowd-sourced version of "Rush Report" (update: first report published!) — Page 2

Thanks, guys! And thanks for the reports that have been submitted thus far. I'll definitely do a report Monday, 8/22, and I'm hoping to start getting more and more responses so it's more accurate. Keep them coming over the weekend!

Thanks! And yes, I want to get this very basic version developed first, but my hope would be to eventually have it update live, maybe with an app or something like that. We'll see!

Submitted 2 responses with weekend experiences. Thank you for doing this!

Thanks for doing this - is there any way to get more specific data, aka actual seat numbers and specific dates? That's what helps me most when I'm trying to see which days I should try to rush shows.

This week's rush update is up, albeit a day late. Apologies for that! Thanks for the great submissions this weekend.

I was looking at Playbill's list of current rush and lottery policies and noticed they have started reporting on arrival times and chances of getting tickets:

http://www.playbill.com/article/broadway-rush-lottery-and-standing-room-only-policies-com-116003

For example, under The Humans it says "AS OF 9/7: First Person in Line: 9:00. About 25 more people in line at 9:45. Number of lottery tickets available: Subject to daily availability Seat locations: Determined at the discretion of the box office." and under The Color Purple it says "AS OF August 29: First person in line: 6:00am, Last person to purchase tickets: 10:15 Most of line not served tickets that day" etc.

Wondering if this will be updated soon? Coming in town this weekend and hoping to rush for Natasha/Pierre!

I've heard Great Comet isn't a terribly hard rush to get. Someone who lost the lottery showed up to the theatre maybe an hour before curtain and got rush-priced tickets in the back of the orchestra. I don't think they were actually the rush seats, but they gave her the rush price. That's actually happened to me a few times recently: during the closing week of An American in Paris and at Beautiful."

Oh that's good to hear! I got worried on the great comet thread when someone mentioned a heavily sold show one evening and only a handful of people got tickets. Maybe I'll call the box office tomorrow and see what time they recommend. Thanks!
