Has anyone tried it? If so, what are the seats like and did you have to wait in line before the box office opened?

I went two weeks ago on a Saturday. I got there right around 10 (after I had waited on line all morning for How to Succeed rush). By the time I got there, evening was sold out, but mat was left. I got one ticket and all of them are in the box (or at least they usually are). The seats suck, but you can move after Act 1 to probably pretty great seats. I ended up dead center 8th row for the rest of the show and those were amazing seats. The show is SO worth it.

Rushed this morning (Wednesday). I arrived around 9:15 and was about 6th or 7th in line. I got a ticket for the matinee; they offer the boxes. During intermission I moved to the orchestra since there were a lot of empty seats. Small theater, good views everywhere!

And in case anyone was wondering, you don't need to pay cash for their rush, they take credit as well :)

Has anyone rushed lately? In the past, they've been changing up where the rush seats are but this is on the website:

So, I was wondering if it's now back to the front row instead of the boxes.

Damn! Wish I could've been front row the whole time...

I went on 5/1. Got there later than anticipated because the person I met up with was late. The 2 people in front of us didn't get rush tickets either. The website says front row, but the people who got rush tickets were in the boxes. I was last row of the mez. The view wasn't terrible and I could have moved to a better seat because ALOT were empty, but it's a small theater.

Has this rush lightened up at all lately?

I was there at about 9:40 on Friday and grabbed the last of the $26 tickets. Yes, they're still in the boxes, which are absolutely terrible, but the ushers are completely fine with letting you move to the mezz before the show, since its only about half full up there.

Has anyone rushed recently? I was thinking of trying it one more time, but I don't understand the listing on their webpage--- are they only doing $36 tickets now? Are those limited or can you get them anytime like you were able to before? No $26 tix anymore then??

I rushed on July 6th. Got there a little after 7am, was first in line. Other than two others, people didn't show up until around 9am (box office opened at 10, and this was on a Wednesday for the Matinee) I went so early because I had heard that earlier that week it was back to front row. Got my ticket in the front row (seat AA 103) for $26.50. Not sure why they keep switching the location of the rush seats... and I'm assuming they raised the price because the run is almost over? Not sure.

If you went and got front row rush for $26.50, then I'm assuming they haven't raised the price, no? The rush has always been $26 when the box office opens, then $36 two hours before curtain.

The website has definitely been changed and now says $36.50 and not $26.50.

Apparently, they changed the prices after John Gallagher Jr. left on the 17th. That was when my friends & I went and we all paid $26.50. The ones who were right before me got Center Orch, Second Row while I got Center Orch, Front Row. We all wanted to sit together but whatever.

So they INCREASED prices after their main supporting actor left? That makes little to no sense.

Has anyone rushed recently in the past week? My friend wants to go on Friday and I just want to know what time we should get there :)

I doubt changing the prices had anything to do with Gallagher's exit. More likely, they were entering their final few weeks of performances, realized demand might be higher for tickets, and saw an opportunity to make a little more money. Wouldn't be the first time rush prices were raised near the end of the run.

"Jerusalem Rush"

Isn't that what they called the First Crusade?
