Lifespan of a Fact Rush — Page 3

AntV said: "They may have had rush tickets last Sunday at 5:00 but this Sunday they didn't. Despite many far side orchestra and front mezz seats being available. And the whole rear mezz was bought out by a group. It's a cold rainy Sunday night and there wasn't much else playing I haven't already seen enough times. So I wasted $99 on what turned out to be a slight repetitive play with an unsatisfying ending. Oh well, after this another year of exclusively getting rush and lotto tickets due to overpriced tickets like this. At least this play is doing badly enough that it won't recoup so some greedy investor won't make a profit off me."

Oops. And I bet it was your $99 that put them into the black:

My gf rushed this past Friday. Got there around 9:30 and was fifth in line. They were told before 10am that the rush tickets were most likely going to be singles. One couple got split between orchestra and mezzanine. We got MM and NN the last seats all the way over house right in each row. Luckily given that location there was plenty of leg room between the seat and the wall. I know the rest of the rear mezzanine is not great at all when it comes to leg room. The view is totally fine for this. You miss some of the projection on the scene changes later on in the show, but none of that really matters.

Does anyone have a guess as to what to expect this week with the show closing? I was thinking of trying for Thursday, but wasn't sure if Broadwaycon, the weather, and it being closing weekend would make anything different from "normal".

Thanks for the update! I'll try for Thursday morning...there aren't many seats left for that night, so hopefully they still do rush. And I hope the cold doesn't prevent stage door. I saw this once before, but it was sleeting so no one came out.

I believe there is no show today, so hopefully the people there aren't trying to get tickets for today!

Are you sure they weren't staff members waiting to be let into the building? No show today.

NO rush today ( and I don't believe this theater does Standing Room ).

The 2pm show is currently on TKTS

Miles2Go2 said: "Seems odd that theyre not offering rush, but there are tickets available st TKTS. Their policy states that rush tickets are available depending on availability, but if they're selling at TKTS, it would seem that some rush tix could be made available. Dont most productions hold back tickets purposefully for rush/lottery?"

It's not uncommon for shows to not offer rush their final weekend.
