Iceman Cometh Rush Reports

Post them here.

I just posted this in the preview thread, but will paste it here too for the record:

I got to the box office around noon today. I was told they sold out of the $40 rush pretty much right away when the box office opened (apparently there were about 10 tickets, mostly in the boxes). But she offered me a "2nd tier" rush, which was $79, with a better view, and I ended up springing for it. Row I of the orchestra on the isle. I was a little worried because it was still marked "partial view," but I could see almost everything just fine, without even any heads blocking the way. It was a great seat after all!

Thanks for the reports. I didn't realize there was such thing as a "tiered" Rush. I'd be interested in hearing how the view is from the partial view seats in that theatre.

I just rushed - showed up a little after 10 am and there had only been four people before me. The box office offered $40 far side mezz (partial view) or $59 (limited view) in the third row. I went with the $59 to be close up... but now I'm remembering I sat front/far house left for Once and had a very difficult time seeing - less because of the proscenium and more because when actors would stand/sit anywhere near our side of the stage, it blocked most of the action. Hopefully this won't happen again! I have to think if they're selling them for more, they must be a better view, but we'll see. I'd appreciate any reports from people who've sat in the limited view up front. On a separate note - nice to see that this rush is very attainable.

So... how was your view?

Seeing this on TDF and everything kinda bugs me that I dropped $200 a ticket on this as well, but they are second row on the aisle and I love Denzel Washington so I'm not very mad. I'm also expecting ticket sales to pick up a bit if it gets very strong reviews and Tony nominations.

Saw this last night (friday). The first 15 minutes were a bit clunky and wasn't looking forward to 4 hours of this...and then everyone fell into their parts and it flew buy. Great night of theater. David Morse stole the show for me.

From across the street at Carousel, the line didn’t started until 8 when the first person arrived then 3 people came at 8:30ish

I rushed on Tuesday, arrived at 7:52 AM and was the second person in line. The person before arrived a little before 7:30. The next person after me arrived around 8:10, and the rest of the people who bought box seats trickled in between 8:15-8:30.The box office had recommended coming around 9:30, but that seems late unless if you want the more expensive tiered rush tickets. I would recommend arriving between 8:00-8:30 on the weekdays.

A tip: I would recommend choosing boxes A or C. I sat in Box B, but the keyboardist was behind me in Box D. Due to this, the ushers were quite strict about angling yourself to see better or moving the chairs, something that is not typically a problem. Furthermore, with the exception of one scene, the bar is positioned on the left side, so I would imagine that there are more obstructions on the left. If you are more interested in Denzel Washington, the B box had some great views of him, and, if you were sitting in the other boxes, he briefly has his back towards you. Hope this helps!

The box seats are $40.

Did anyone get rush tickets that were not boxes? Would like to try rushing this Sunday. Thank you!
