Great Comet Rush — Page 4

Did the Rush today with friends today, but we didn't get in line until 8am. We missed Rush seats by two people, so we just bought rear mezz. seats at box office. First guy in line arrived at 6:30, and people that were there by 7:30 all got Rush tickets. Loved the show and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to see it. It was on TKTS for 50% yesterday, but I didn't see what today's discount was.

I rushed Thursday and requested a mezz ticket, as I'd previously bought tickets for tonight in the orchestra. We were first around 6 am, with several others arriving about 20 min after that. The line really started building just after 7am.

Was on 45th Wed at 6am for DEH - a couple people in the Great Comet line then, but somehow the next person for DEH didn't show up til 7!

We did DEH again today (Sat) so we could see it again before our trip is over. First person arrived around 4:40, next group at 5:30, and quite a few in the six o'clock hour. Great Comet line was building at about the same rate. Definitely show up early on the weekends!

Rushed again this past Saturday. Was 10th at 645ish. requested matinee tickets in the mezzanine and got rear mezz full view tickets. Great seats and had terrific view of entire stage. the first time I rushed I got seated in first row of orchestra extreme house right and those seats had a terrible view ( people in upstage tables blocking my view and having to constantly look up). The box office will accommodate requests for mezz.

Where were your seats, and how many people showed up between 7:30 and 10?"

My seat is in orchestra row B. I don't know how many people showed up after 7:30 because I spent most of the time napping, but I think it was around 8 when it started to get crowded. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Anyone rush lately?

I rushed the Wednesday matinee last week (Feb 1), got there round 11:30/12:00, and they had plenty of seats available. I got J 25 in the orch and my row was pretty much empty except for 2 people, so I moved to the aisle seat for act 2. Josh was in, too. I don't know how sold the evening show that day, though.

For someone who's not familiar with the show or the stage layout, how much of the show is played on the staircase. In other words, how much of the show would you miss with the rush seats? Thanks.

Rushed Saturday Feb 11. Arrived at 7:30am. Was 18th in line. Next set of people behind me did not arrive until 8am.

36 people in line by 930 am. Got orchestra left seats, 2nd row for matinee. Missed a bit of the staircase activity (I think it is more concentrated on the right hand side so ask for RIGHT Orchestra seats if possible) BUT I didn't miss enough to make me upset about my seat choice.

Not sure if everyone got tickets - but it was a 2 show day.

I rushed about a month ago and got there at 5pm. They had a couple of box seats tickets left which we quickly took. From what the box office told me the seats are usually reserved for the understudies, but if they don't use them then they're released to the public. Sometimes they don't find out till late in the day so we were very lucky.

Hoping to rush for the saturday night show or sunday matinee. Anyone have any experience with these recently? How early should I get there?

I rushed the Friday 2/24 8 PM show. Arrived around 6:45 and was 3rd in line. Line grew steadily afterwards. Lots of people joined the Great Comet line around 9 when a box office employee at Dear Evan Hansen announced to the line at the Music Box that there were only 6 available rush tickets for their show.

I ended up with a pair of stage right orchestra seats far stage right in the first row. They were sold as partial view but I did not have many problems seeing.

I rushed this morning in the cold! I got there about 8:15 with 4 ppl ahead of me. My seat is row B, but doesn't say partial view?

Rushed this morning and was the first in line at 7am. I got H 21 and 23. It will be my first time seeing it from the orchestra (previously onstage and rear mezz), so I'm excited to see a new angle and hope it is good!
