What are rushes that take High School IDs?

I was under the impressino they all did, save The Little Mermaid, who explicitly states it.

So are rush tickets for Guys and Dolls usually still available pretty close to showtime?

Chicago's rush is not easy at all. I've went two times to try and get rush after I lost lottery and both times the man working there said..."we don't have rush, even though a lot of people think we do." Maybe he is just clueless, but both times they were hard to get. But they have standing room which isn't bad for 26.50

Hmmm I got the same answer from someone at the Chicago B.O. the other day who said SRO was all they had, but I assumed it was just because it was the busy weekend. I wonder if I printed out the playbill article that explicitly says they do if that would help. Probably not, right? Has anyone successfully rush'd Chicago? I mean come on, there's girls and guys in red passing out fliers and discounts for this all over Times Square.

All I know is that the two times I went there two different people told me that they didn't do rush.

My mom got rush tickets like a month ago. & If you print out the thing from Playbill I don't think they can deny u rush tickets. B/c then it'd be false advertising.

Coolkid: Was this a closing night rush?

dg: Not funny. That was unneeded and rude.


And anyone have any guess what my best bet would be this weekend?

"And anyone have any guess what my best bet would be this weekend?"

Try Guys and Dolls or Shrek. Those two are pretty easy to get...unless they sell out again like last Sunday.

What I don't understand is when they say "subject to availability" and then they tell you "we're out of student rush tickets" but then they're not sold out of tickets? I understand some theaters only allot a certain amount of tickets just for student rush, but it seems stupid to turn someone away if you've got all these empty seats left. I mean, at the end of the day, money is money, right?

I completely agree with you. At Chicago they told us they were sold out of rush seats, yet when we went into the mezz there were empty rear mezz seats. I'd rather have that then standing room.

Chicago definitely has rush -- I did it 2 weeks ago. It was a 2-show weekend day, but I got to the box office about 5 minutes before it opened and there were probably 10 people in front of me (and each person can get 2 tickets). I don't know how many tickets they sell as rush, but it wouldn't surprise me if the designated rush tickets are all gone by the time that the lotteries for other shows are all played out.

Definitely agree about the Chicago rush being easy. I managed to grab a ticket to that about 20 minutes for the show started at the end of January without any worries.
