I see that 8 of the rush tickets are front row on the side. Is that too close for this show? Would I be better off to buy a tdf ticket?

Posted: 5/26/14 at 11:00pmI sat front row, a little off center when I saw the show (this was back when it was a lotto.) And, I felt that was a little too close due to the sets being huge. I wouldn't suggest sitting that close, you'd be better off with a TDF ticket since they most likely would sit you further back or in the mezz.

Posted: 5/26/14 at 11:35pmAny idea as to where the other rush tickets are located? Probably still better off with a tdf ticket?

Posted: 5/26/14 at 11:44pmI rushed the show last Saturday for the matinee, and I was 5th row, dead center in the golden circle. I was 3rd in line and (I think) the first to buy tickets for the matinee. (I also got in line at 8:45am.)

Posted: 5/26/14 at 11:49pm@KirbyCat.....that is pretty awesome! So some of the rush tickets could be in the golden circle, huh? Thanks for the information!

I assume so, as that's what I got for rush! :)
That said, maybe they just had a few pairs of unsold seats in the golden circle. The folks in line next to me were a row behind me!

Posted: 5/27/14 at 12:55amIve rushed this twice, and both times I got Row BB, the first two seats on House Left on the aisle. They are amazing seats! During the fight, you are on Rocky's side, and Pauly and Mickie talk with you! It's awesome. Great legroom too. I know the people in front of me in line asked for Golden Circle, and they got that. I personally think row BB is a better view for the end, though.

Posted: 5/27/14 at 9:24amI guess I'm in the minority, but I really liked being that close. When I saw the show during previews when they still had lotto, me and my friend got the seats in th front row next to the conductor. With how big the sets are, it was very immersive and exciting to be that close to all the action. I'm sure sitting further back would be great too, but that's just my experience.

Posted: 5/27/14 at 2:32pmI had those seats Weds. Rocky's apartment, is on that side, so he is right in front of you. And during the fight, you are much closer than the premium seats that get moved to the bleachers on stage. I didn't have any problem with angles or missing anything on stage.

I'm going to rush for tickets on Friday June 13. What time should I get there? 9? Or earlier? Thanks for all the input!

Posted: 5/27/14 at 2:38pmFor my seats, I got there at 7:30. This was a Wednesday. It seemed like 8 of us tried to be the first ones there from 7-7:45, then the next dozen or so people didnt come until 9. If you don't get any of the 8 front row, I think you get partial view. (But talk to the BO people, they are very accommodating.) It is worth it to line up early. If you aren't there by 8, you most likely wont get the seats.
