Simply because a show is struggling and is willing to sell additional seats at a low price way past the opening-line is definitely NOT "rushing a show".
You are obviously our in-house expert on rushing Chuckster, so maybe you can give guidance on "Is is rushing?" in these situations:
Are all people attending a Rush concert considered to be rushing? NO, they are Rush Fans.
If I get there at 7 a.m. but walk at a leisurely pace from the subway exit to the theater, am I still rushing? What if I stop to pick up a coffee at Starbucks on the way, still rushing? YES, but doing it poorly. YES, but doing it even more poorly.
If my first name or nickname is "Rush", am I still rushing regardless of what time I get there? NO, someone's name is immaterial.
What about two friends visiting from Moscow? Are they Russian the show even if they arrive at 12:30 p.m. If you can pre-define what the grammatically incorrect "Russian the show" means then I can respond.
Please let us know your thoughts on these situations."
