Could you tell me what time Something Rotten starts to sell the rush tickets? Only after the lottery is done? Thanks.

I won the GGLAM lottery yesterday! Got a really great seat - orchestra row J seat 14. Full view! I'm not sure many people even entered, or rushed, because both boxes were completely empty, and the seat to the right of me as well as the seats all the way to the right and left on both sides of the theatre seemed unoccupied.
Won the Something Rotten lottery last weekend, and my seat was front row, orchestra left. It was fine -- didn't miss anything, really, except the tap dancing.
Bump
anyone has info re when Something Rotten starts selling rush rickets? When the box office opens or after the lottery is done? Thanks.

This past week they were selling rush tickets when the box office opened in the morning.
FishermanBob said: Please, it's not about caring more. If they wanted to show how much they care about the show, they'd buy a full price ticket. They decide to "schlep" down there cause they think they'll have a better chance to get one of a handful of heavily subsidized seats than risking the uncertainty of the on-line lottery and that's their decision. If that's not their reasoning then either they just like the social aspect of lining up or they are masochists with a martyr complex. I swear, THE most overused word on this board is "deserved".
Get over yourself! Not everyone can afford full priced tickets. A lot of people only get to see shows due to lotteries and rush. It doesn't mean they don't care. And I was ONLY comparing rush and lottery seats, not every seat in the house. And yes, I stand by my statement of "caring more" because I've seen enough comments on this and other boards from people that say they normally wouldn't bother, but since online is so easy they figure why not try it as they have to put no effort into it. And those who "schlep" "care" enough to see the show that they do go down to make sure they get a seat rather than leave things up entirely to the odds, which are pretty sucky with online lotteries since so many more people enter them because of the ease. And I never intimated that people "deserve" these seats in general, I was only using it in this particular circumstance (again just comparing rush vs. lotto seats), stated it was just my opinion, and made it clear I was making a light comment, not to be taken too overly seriously. Which obviously you did.

Won the Kinky Boots lottery on my first try tonight (might have had a better chance due to the Jewish holiday). Right box, middle, marked "partial view" but actually very good. Was chatting with the woman next to me, who said she had seen the show multiple times because a family member is in it. They ended up giving me a backstage tour afterwards, so the evening was beyond my expectations. Fun show, too.

Has anyone WON the Something Rotten digital lottery lately? If so, where were you seated? Curious if they reserve any front row or if they just give the partial view sides. I enter all the time and never win! lol. Boo hiss...
