Hello Dolly Rush / SRO

Has anyone tried to do standing room lately?

Although the official policy is that they don’t sell standing until the house is sold out, it seems that certain theaters and productions selectively change their minds about this. You show up to a show that is not sold out yet and they inform you that all standing is sold, like you’re a moron and should have known.

Also, has anyone tried Rush since Bette’s return with positive results?

Thanks.

I did standing room for last Saturday’s matinee... got to the box office at 12:30 and they had (or made it seem like they had) only one ticket left between the matinee and evening show. It was a great spot - almost dead center - and you only miss like 20 seconds of the show! Not sure if it was sold out, the orchestra seemed pretty packed.

I went to the box office around 2PM last Tuesday and got SRO for $47 for that evening's performance. It really is a great view, and, as jwf300 just said, you only miss maybe 20 seconds.

Hi! I saw the show on July 24th and bought my ticket the same day of the performance at like 2:30. They still had premium seats in the orchestra and the mezzanine but they offered me SRO if I wasn't willing to pay for those. I went back to the box office half an hour later and they offered me tickets in the second row of the mezzanine (on the right side) for $69 and I took them. Great view, but I did miss a bit of the Harmonia Gardens scene. Hope this helps!

Did you leave and come back on purpose? Why didn't they give you the mezz seats from the beginning?

I forgot to mention that the first time I asked (besides the SRO tickets) they also offered me tickets in the last row of the balcony for $50 so I left because I wasn't sure if I should take them. When I went back two girls in front of me bought those balcony seats so I was actually surprised they offered me mezz.

Yesterday (8/16) I arrived at 12:45 and had no problem getting standing room! The top of the stage was cut off a bit but otherwise amazing show. You only would miss like 7 seconds when they throw down pillows during the second song. I was offered those ($47) or Front Mezz partial view for $89. Easiest rush/standing room I've ever done!

I was able to get SRO two Wednesday ago for the 8pm show at 6pm...if you're short left side is better for viewing (i'm 5'5). I was surprised it was so easy considering it's during Bette's run. Originally, I thought I would be seeing it with Donna to save $$$.

Wow, that's awesome. I'll definitely try doing this. What would you say I should take if I get the same chance as you: Standing room or front mezz? I see people are getting offered both of those.

From what I've read I would say get standing room! You'll apparently only miss a few seconds (and it's a lot cheaper). I have only seen the show once (I live in Peru!) and the main reason why I chose to buy the mezz tickets was because I had just spent 8 hours on a plane and was extremely tired. I'm sure you'll love it either way.

I can imagine that tomorrow will be very crowded.  Has anyone stood in the line this morning or yesterday?  How early?  Thanks
