Here Lies Love Rush

Figured I'd start a new thread since a lot of people seemed interested.

Rushed today and got there at 10am on the dot (1 show day).  I was the 13th person in line with the first person there at 7:45 or so and the second person at 9am.  I got rear mezz row K (it seemed like everyone was in rear mezz) and when asked about floor tickets, they offered me a discounted ticket at $99, which I'd probably do in the future.

Thank you for the datapoint! 

When it was in the Public ten years ago, the floor tix were $90 so given inflation, the discounted price of $99 is pretty good. 

I had a friend who sat in rear mezz at first preview and after watching, she definitely wants to go back and experience it from the floor.

You can purchase $39 rear mezzanine tickets on telechargeoffers with the mailer they sent out.  Use code HLPARTY.  So this doesn't seem like a good rush deal at all considering people go and wait in line sometimes for a couple of hours.  Granted the $39 tickets with the code is only like the last two rows of the rear mezzanine.  Guess I'll be splurging for the $99 floor experience!  Thanks for the info.

Is anyone aware of a discount that will work at the Box Office?

If you can use it on Telecharge, you can use it at the box office, so HLPARTY should work

I'm hoping someone here can verify where the digital lottery tix are located. I know it's suspected they will be floor spots but I'd love to know for sure.

Someone on Reddit reported on both rush and TKTS availability at 6:30pm tonight. Sounds like it should be an easy ticket to get, at least for a while.

Thanks so much for the heads up! After losing digital lotto for tonight, I decided to take my chances and see if they still had discounted floor seats at 5:30pm. They luckily did! So glad I was able to experience this show again. $99 is still a splurge, but definitely worth it!

I won lottery for last night’s show. I called the accessible seating phone number to make sure the tickets weren’t standing. They told me the seating was random so could be anywhere in the theater except the standing area. If you look at the lottery page it says Here Lies Love Seats. He said that could change at some point. We got Rear Mezz Row D 118 and 120. They were excellent. I know the action is on the floor but we never felt far away. The show was amazing and still processing it all.

Lotto Update. Just got an email from Telecharge and confirmed on the currently open lottos that they will now offer two different lottos for Here Lies Love. One for seats. One for standing on the dance floor. Same $39 price tag for both.

The online lottery now has two options - standing and seats. Both options are the same price, $39. Good for them on making that decision so that people can decide which they want.

Selling two tickets for this Sunday 6/25 matinee. See Buy/Sell board.

It appears the option for the floor for lottery has gone away

It has not. Only  certain performances per week

It's been hit-or-miss for the last week

1. Some days 2 lotteries--one for seats, one standing
2. Some days only a seated lottery
3. Some days no lottery

They are clearly looking at sales the day before and using the lottery to fill unsold seats, rather than reserving some seats for the lottery in advance. I'd expect the floor to come back for slow sales days (and possibly TDF member tickets).

I spotted standing tickets for this weekend on TDF earlier but they're gone now.  

Has anyone rushed in person lately?  Is there any need to show up earlier than 10am?  I'm assuming floor tickets will be $99 for rush during Lea Salonga's run but please correct me if not!

Rush sold out quickly today, last person to get tickets arrived before 8:30am. Tonight's performance is sold out!

Apparently business has really picked up since Lea joined the cast.

Has anyone been to the theater lately to see how in-person rush is going? It sounds like availability for the online lottery for rush varies, so I wondered if there were days there were no in-person rush seats. Thanks in advance!

P.S. I realize that there is probably a box office bump due to Lea Salonga's limited engagement. I may just try my luck after Aug. 13 when she departs.

Someone posted they got a front mezz rush seat at 1:15 for the 3:30 matinee this past Saturday.

I won the digital lottery for dance floor tickets.  It was a lot of fun.

Sitting the rear mezzanine is akin to seeing a Broadway musical in Times Square on New Year's Eve. I did it last week and never once felt as if I were part of a monumental event. I felt like "this is what you get for paying for cheap seats".

Has anyone tried in-person rush the past few days?  Do you still get a choice of standing vs. sitting in rear mezz?

Was walking by the theater this past Saturday (7/22) so decided to see if they had anything. It was maybe 3:15, 15 minutes before the performance. First thing they offered me was a rush ticket on the dance floor.

How much did they offer it to you for?
