I tried to get SR for both performances today, but neither sold out. I found it a little odd that it hasn't sold out it's first week being Disney and all...

There were quite a few seats open in the orchestra tonight (I should have moved into one of them because I had the most annoying little boy behind me). I don't know how full the mezz was, but it definately wasn't sold out.

I wonder if this continues (shows not selling out), they'll start offereing a student or general rush?

So they sell the tickets day of then? If I went for a Sunday matinee in early June, could I expect to get standing room or do you think I'll have to buy full price tickets?

Has this show shown up on TKTS at all?

If the show isn't sold out, then you have no shot at standing room tickets, because they won't sell them.

I got SRO on Sunday... prepare to wait at least 4 hours to the SRO ticket. It's beyond rediculous and it wasn't work the wait IMO.

I wonder why they won't put it on TKTS if they aren't selling out. Beauty, Tarzan, Mary Poppins, and Aida were all on TKTS.

According to Playbill.com's rush/lottery section, Mermaid has Student Rush now, anyone know if this is true?

Yes, LITTLE MERMAID now has student rush. Tickets are $26.50 each and they go onsale when the box office opens each morning. I rushed this past Wednesday for the evening show and got a ticket in row D of the Orchestra on the left side. As of now, it's a pretty easy rush. I arrived at a few minutes before 10am and although there was a line of about 10 people already, only one of them bought student rush seats.

According to Playbill.com, the rush tickets are only for Tuesday-Thursday. Is this still correct or are there rush tickets for every Little Mermaid performance?

Yes it is still Tues-Thurs. How is the rush situation, I'm thinking of going tomorrow and probably won't be at the theater till sometime after 8:30-9.

Just an update on the Little Mermaid rush - I got there about 9 am and was first in line. People didn't really show up until after 9:30, and even then there were not that many people.

It seemed they sold the front row for students today. I don't know if they will continue selling front row, because I have heard reports of people getting whatever was left. Anyways, I was in seat A101. Some seats on the left and right sides of Row A were empty, so I bet they didn't sell all the rush tickets.

This should be an easy show to rush for now. I'm wondering how the situation will be once school lets out for other students.

How has it been since school let out?

Anyone rush this show recently? I am heading to the city later this week and wondered what time I should try for. Unfortunately, I will not be arriving until 12 noonish, do you think I may have a chance at the box office for Wed Eve rush tix a few hours after box office open? I also have the option of Thurs and then I can get there as early as needed.

Despite the reviews, I still want to see the show for myself.

I went in the beginning of June. Walked over after losing In the Heights lotto (at about 6:15) and was still able to get tickets. You should be fine at noon.

So is the rush for actual seats? Or only for SRO?

[BrianIdol]

Posted: 8/6/08 at 8:15pm

yes student rush is for actual seats...and I believe you can get them on fri., sat., and sun. as well; despite what people said above. Can anyone verify that?

[jennamajig]

Posted: 8/6/08 at 8:20pm

I ended up with rush seats on a Friday after being told no on a Thursday (this was the weekend of July 25), so yes they sell 'em if they got 'em on other days. My friend and I ended up with two seats in the last row of Orch center.

How many tickets can you get with one I.D.? The playbill.com article does not say.

Thanks!

I believe it was just one ticket per ID when I went there last month.

YES. I looked at the playbill website that had the SRO/Rush Policies for the different shows, and it said TLM only had it on Tues-Thurs. I got to the Lunt on Saturday at about 1:00 and kind of shot in the dark asked if they did a student rush and he said yes. Showed him my id, and got a seat in the 11th row center orchestra for $30 for the 2:00 show!!

I was wondering if anyone could provide more concrete details about rush?

Is it just whatever they happen to have or are they setting seats aside for it now? I've heard of people getting front row, so I was wondering if they are starting to make allotments specifically for rush.

Any details would be greatly appreciated!
