New to NY - TLM Rush - Lotto Offer

Hey, everyone. I just moved to NY this past Sunday - caught the closing performance of SITPWG which was absolutely spectacular (and you cant go wrong with hiptix). Saw Xanadu from the stage tonight(I had seen it from the orch back in Dec) and strategically placed myself this time so Mary Testa would rub my shoulders and run her fingers through my hair, followed by Jackie Hoffman turning around and offering me popcorn later in the show.

I'm working 8-5, and ran during my lunch hour to try and purchase some student rush tickets, it must've been about 12:45 when I got to TLM and found that all tickets were already sold. I was just wondering if anyone had any info on this and whether people line up, and whether tickets are usually gone in the first 5 mins of the box office opening or not??

Also, just wanted to put it out there that I'd be more than willing to team up for lottos with anyone. There really isnt a show I wont see, so if you want to double your chances just let me know (via PM).

I was under the impression that they sold the student rush tickets weekdays only when the box office opens and they sell whatever they have left at the student rusht price.

I was under the impression that it was Tues, Wed, and Thurs only, and they sold front row seats when the box office opened. But I have heard stories of people getting rush tickets on different days of the week. I went for a Wednesday matinee, got there 9 am and was first in line. The second person didn't show up till around 9:30. I wonder if it has since become busier. I am not sure a lot of people even know there is rush.
