I was under the impression, from speaking to someone at the box office, that there was a restricted rush (which is actually just NYTW's rush policy). Per the NYTW website (http://www.nytw.org/connect/contact/):
Subject to availability at the opening of the box office, $25 day-of rush tickets may be available for youth, seniors, artists and Lower East Side residents. Rush tickets are sold cash-only, limit two per person.
Proper identification is required for all rush tickets. Youth (ages 25 and under) and seniors (ages 65+) may present an ID indicating date-of-birth; Artists may present an ID and a program or union card; Lower East Side residents may present an ID that includes your address.
I don't fit into any of the above categories, so I called the box office to find out if there were any other inexpensive tickets available for Hadestown (I'd really love to see it, but I can't bring myself to spend $99 on a ticket). She implied the only cheaper tickets available are through the standard rush policy mentioned above.
I may be wrong (and wouldn't mind being so!). I'd call the box office to double check.
