We turned up at the rush line at 9:40- were about 40th in line so obviously didn’t get far! No standing room tix are going to be offered during previews apparently. We heard multiple people say it was sold out for tonight... but then at 3pm we noticed it was on TKTS for $112. At 6pm we went to TKTS and got 2 tickets which were in the front row, B 3-5. Great view of everything and WOW. It is a brilliant show.
Any updates from yesterday or today? Thinking about going tomorrow morning but the earliest I could make it would be 6:30am. Wondering if that will be enough.

I got there at 6:00am today and was first. The next people got in line around 7:00am. We got seats R16-18 in the orchestra. I would assume that it’ll be a little harder on weekends and when it gets warmer but my experience wasn’t terrible today!
EDIT: Earlier I said row B instead of row R as I misread my ticket! Sorry for anyone I confused. I also neglected to mention that I was first in line, which I have added now. My apologies! The seats were excellent, worth the early morning.

I think you meant B 6-8, I was on the last seat of row D and it was that was 13, would be the same as 14 on the right side.

Were you the first one at 6? Because then it may be worth me waking up tomorrow!

My apologies, I was actually row R not row B, I misread my ticket! They were excellent seats, though.

OUCH!
The first two tickets offered (to the first person on line) were full-view seats. After that, only scattered single partial view seats were available. I got orchestra C14 and L22.
There were at least 40 people in line by box office open.
Happy to have gotten tickets at all, honestly. And thrilled to be seeing the show a third time. I haven't felt the itch to see something again right away in quite a while.
I’m second in line got here at 5:50. The woman in front of me got here only a few moments earlier. There’s currently 5 people in line.
The line ended with about 20 people. I got seat R17 which appears to be full view my friend for L22 which is labeled partial view.
@yesraccoon
Do you mean that 20 people got in? Or there were 20 people in line? Or both? If you mean that there were 20 people total in line, do you know how many got in?

Sorry for being unclear! 20 people in line altogether.
I don’t know how many people got in though, I left right after sorry!

Not rush/SRO. But currently in ticketmaster, orchestra Row R 20-22 tickets for tonight's show (April 2) are only $49 + fees. I just purchased R 16-18 for friends for the same price.

Won lottery tickets for tomorrow's matinee on my first try! I'll post updates on location afterwards.
update got Orchestra Row L 18 and 20. Only minority obstructed on the right side where I can’t see some of the band but not a big deal as far as narrative goes.

Won the lottery for Tuesdays show!!! (April 2nd). My seats were C19-C21. I remember seeing on instagram someone winning Mezz Left row A seats so pretty sure they lotto off whatever they have availab.le.
I plan on getting into the city early on Saturday to try rushing. Wish me luck.

Is anyone else having trouble with the Lucky Seat lottery pages? The Hadestown one doesn't seem to load.

Someone posted about this in the Hadestown Fan Club Facebook page:
”For anyone else who was wondering, I heard back from LuckySeat regarding the Hadestown Lottery: ‘Hi there! As of right now, we’re not entirely sure what the lottery for next week will look like. There will be a lottery for every performance once Hadestown opens, but while it’s in previews they’re not required to have a lottery for every show. If they do choose to have a lottery for performances next week, they’ll definitely be online two days beforehand, so we’d recommend checking back on Sunday to see if it’s been updated!’”

They must be very full during press performances if they don't anticipate having any lottery availability

As of Sunday, the lottery is back up and running through Saturday performances! I would expect next week's to be similar, with all of next week's performances being posted for entry on Sunday!
Was running a little later than I would have liked this morning (4/12) and got there just before 7:40am. Was about 12th in line, was not even CLOSE to getting tickets! Only about 5-6 people did. Line was probably about 40ish people or so.
Guess it'll only get worse once it opens!

wow, sorry to hear that! I'm in town for a week and wondering what time anyone thinks I should head there tomorrow morning (Sat)? There's two shows so more choices but I feel like more people will try for rush then...
