Just saw this on Playbill :
The Lion King
Student Rush: $30 - sold on the day of performance when the box office opens. Subject to availability. Only available to college/university students. Limit 1 ticket per valid ID

Is this new? has anyone tried this? where are the seats located?

i rather have them be two per id because i usually go with one parents because they love to go see the shows. so they are going to avoid these. at this point it would make more sense for mp to get 2 per id to boost their grossings. in the heights needs a student rush. i will try to get info on rock of ages if they will have rush/lotto.

my dad and i are trying for Billy Elliot rush on a tuesday.

Does anyone know if the rush for Lion King will be cash only or can I pay with a credit card?

I was looking at the list on playbill.com and some of them said cash only and others didn't say anything either way.

Usually rush is cash only.

I'm a professional. Whenever something goes wrong on stage, I know how to handle it so no one ever remembers. I flash my %#$&. "Jayne just sat there while Gina flailed around the stage like an idiot."

I really hate that they just allow college/university IDs.

Wishing- I feel the same way...and it makes no sense because it's a family show.

i rushed mermaid just this past saturday afternoon. about 2 hours before the show and asked very nicely if all they accepted for the student rush was college id's and the lady said yes but let me see what i can find. i got 5th row center orchestra for 30 bucks lol. it never hurts to try. i think they're ok with HS id's but i dont think they'd bend the rules for more then 1 ticket.

I rushed Little Mermaid in April when I was in high school and the guy there accepted my high school ID. However, when I did it again during my college winter break in the beginning of January they said that it was College ID only. I was curious about it. I know it didn't affect me because I am now in college etc but I was just wondering. So I asked. The woman there said that it was always college ID. When I heard that I walked away kind of confused that they would accept a high school ID only a few months earlier but not accept one now.

And, CS, I have done student rushes where they do accept credit card. Your right, that there are some student rushes where they are strict about it being cash only. But, I find for student rush it can go either way. It is usually lotteries that are generally cash only.
