How long in advance do I have to be in the box ticket to buy those? Are they sold any day of the week or any time? Do we have to line up for those too? How are they not sold out yet? ahahaha"

Box seat policy will depend on the theatre of course. To answer your questions...

You can buy box seats at the box office and (as per the very nice BO agent informed me) sometimes online at TM. The seats are sold (if available) any time the box office is open. No, you do not need to stand in any line. The lines are for cancellation, rush and SRO spots.

I've been used to box seats being made available only on the day of the performance, but the agent said they MAY release them as far as a week in advance. Today I purchased a ticket for Friday, so definitely at least 3 days in advance.

Your best bet is to go to the box office early in the day and ask if they have box seats available for the date you are looking to go. Current price is $109.

Hope this helps :)

I’m not from the city so I have to bring a bag with stuff I’ll need for the day.... I’m thinking of bringing my Jansport backpack from high school. Would I be allowed to bring that into the theater and keep it with me during the show or do I have to check it somewhere?"

Good luck with rush Grace2! Yes, a Jansport sized backpack won't be an issue. You can stuff it under your seat. They have the normal bag check - be ready for a search if your bag is stuffed full - plus a metal detector check. Your bag goes on a table and you pass through the metal detectors :)

I got seat SRO 11 and was able to move to a really good center orchestra seat. Most people on the left side were able to get sears after intermission, I have no clue for the right. "

Also it was rainy all day which might be why I was still able to get a ticket after getting there kinda late!!

Line jumpers? As in, people who cut in front of you? That shouldn't be tolerated! Especially since it's not like a normal rush where each person can get 2 tickets, so someone joining their friend might not make a difference."

Yup. 2 people "holding spots." I tried to explain the policy, the morality of it, showed them the Hadestown tweet with the rush policy, etc. The new people joined the line in front of everyone anyway. There's a limit to how much commotion I feel comfortable making. I wouldn't want the situation to escalate and they shut down in-person rush altogether like "Hamilton." The people behind us might intervene when the BO opens. Anyway, I didn't mean to change the topic. I'll post an update in a bit with the results.

LunimousBeing: Glad to know that Karma is alive and strong and that you got such a killer seat for Act II! :)

On another note, Summer vacations/days off have begun.

Timothy Hughes will be out until Friday June 28 and T. Oliver Reid will be in for Hades on Thursday June 27. Both posted this info on IG.

AOk so got here at 1pm and was 5th in line. It’s 2pm now and only 9 ppl in line. Pretty sure I’ll get in!

[2:30pm update] someone just joined the first 2 ppl in line!!!! But luckily he was just there to swap places with someone as of them already has a ticket. Phew!
