Posted: 12/13/08 at 11:43pmDoes anyone know if The Fantasticks student rush policy has changed recently? i am thinking of going with my friends this saturday. Last I remember it was I believe two per ID for 33 bucks and you were able to buy them in advance. I went to Talkinbroadway to double check and see if they were doing it but it doesn't list The Fantasticks as an off Broadway show that is offering Student Rush.

Posted: 12/14/08 at 12:16amYes, they should still have it, it's 36.50 though, not 33.

Posted: 12/14/08 at 12:30amI saw the show again this week and it's in better shape now than it was a while back. The cast is excellent!

I agree, I saw this same cast and it was brilliant!
I had goosebumps the entire show.

Posted: 12/14/08 at 11:15amIs anyone else bothered by the fact that an off broadway show has rush for over 35, while most broadway shows have discount ticket options for 25 or less?

Posted: 12/14/08 at 12:01pmYeah, I was surprised at first, but I paid it, and the seat was perfect and the show was amazing. It was definitely worth it.

It does seem a little step since the top ticket price is $76, so $36.50 is roughly half-price. Not as good of a studeal deal for other shows, but $36.50 is still a bargain to see a quality show.
I will eventually see this show. I just never have enough time when I am in NYC...

Posted: 12/14/08 at 4:34pmWell, the thing is that their student rush tends to be sold out, so they realized the show is on demand, but they still want to give a certain discount to students, so Im greatful they do, but yes, when I got my tix, I thought "It's almost 40 bucks" but once the show started I never thought about money again. The Fantasticks is priceless, a fabulous classic.

Posted: 12/14/08 at 5:40pmIs it really in hot demand? I went on a Wednesday evening and granted it was rainy out, the theater was maybe roughly 30% full. It was kind of sad, but the cast gave it their all and I enjoyed myself. I keep meaning to pick up this cast recording.

The recording is fantastic! =)
When I went to see it, it wasn't sold out, but almost, yet, I tried to get rush tix twice and they were sold out.

Posted: 12/14/08 at 6:16pmThe show is comped all the time. They're never close to selling out. It costs next to nothing to run, though. So it'll probably be inhabiting that theatre for a while.

Hi guys,
Saw the thread and wanted to take a moment to post the correct info...
Student tix for The Fantasticks are $30 (plus $1.50 facility fee), not $36.50. You can purchase up to 2 per ID, and unlike most other shows you can buy them in advance of the day you want to attend -- and you won't be stuck in the rafters since, well, there are no rafters :)
Thanks, hope this info is helpful.

Posted: 1/3/09 at 5:47pmTo get student rush tix in advance, can you do it through the phone or do you have to go to the box office? I live in Jersey and I really want to see it, but I'm worried rush will be sold out if I just try to get it the day of the performance.
