It's been on occasionally... But I'd be very surprised if it shows up on there for that night. (Especially considering the "best available" single ticket showing up now is row Q.)

How early do you think for this Thursday? Everything in this thread seems to be from Fri/Sat Memorial Day Weekend, so maybe it won't be quite so crowded?

Also, I'm torn between rush and getting the last row Mezz tickets...anyone done both and have an opinion??

If you're going to do last row mezz, buy them asap. I tried that option yesterday and they were sold out, and the one for tonight's performance was the last one, all the way to the wall.

Miss Congeniality was apparently on the rush line before 5 AM today.

Also today... They didn't give out the wrist bands until 11am (an attempt to prevent the mass exodus that has happened as of late?)...

And the guy who was to open the box office was running late so it was closer to 12:30 before it opened.

The security guys went up and down the line explaining (though some people didn't pay attention and had to come and ask again) ~ and there was one couple who needed to pick up tickets but had lunch reservations counting on getting their tickets picked up by 12:30. They were allowed to pick them up when the box office opened, and then the line progressed.

Any thoughts on 7:30 this Thursday morning? Should that be early enough?

ETA: I'm not worried about having to wait longer or anything if there's a delay at the box office...I have an audition that day in the afternoon but it's not too far away so it's really no issue at all.

Also, 5 am is just plain ridiculous.

Decided to go for the Row H Mezz seats. I searched through a bunch of posts on here saying that they're actually better than orchestra, and I'd rather have the guarantee and not have to deal with the (potential) craziness in the morning. Maybe I'll rush later this summer to see Tveit's replacement.

Thanks for the help, guys! I'm really excited to see it

5 may seem ridiculous, but the line was getting close to full before 7am yesterday morning...

[Sporti2005]

Wow...then I'm DEFINITELY happy I bought the tickets.

There are very few things that can get me up and functioning that early! That's amazing.

Row H in the mezzanine is a great location, I sat there a little over a week ago and really enjoyed the view. A great seat for the price... and no waking up at insane hours either.

How do Tuesdays generally look for the rush? I rushed on a Friday and the line was pretty close to full by 8am. My friend and I were first and we had gotten there at 7. I feel like Tuesdays would be easier, but I don't know.

Not really. The time or two I've rushed on a Tuesday, the line has pretty much been filled by 8. As more schools get out, I'd imagine it will only get "worse".

What would be a good time to get there to rush the Saturday night (6/6) show (Aaron's last)?
I was thinking of just buying cheap seats but the Rear mezz is gone and no Orc is left. So I'm thinking I just might try to rush. The show looks like its almost sold out. Do they do SRO when its sold out now? A few weeks ago the guy told me the producers decided to stop selling SRO b/c it gave too partial of a view.
Also do they hold the front row and boxes for rush even if the show is sold out?

I asked for student rush last Friday around 5 pm and was given third to last row orchestra on the left. So it may be worth checking closer to showtime, that way you don't have to wait on line.

[jordangirl]

FYI, the show DOES NOT have student rush. It is GENERAL rush.

And to my knowledge, unless the producers need the rush seats for important people (like during press week), the rush seats are held as such. I don't know if they're doing what the Palace did with Legally Blonde where people could buy rush seats in advance at full price.

^ Is their a number that I could call (the theater) to see if they allow people to buy rush seats in advance at full price?
Anyone know the # to the theater. Telecharge isn't very helpful in giving out Box office #'s

How has the rush line been lately?

[adamgreer]

Posted: 6/2/09 at 8:44pm

Shubert Theatres (which the Booth is one of) do not publish their box office numbers. You'll have to go in person.

My front just texted me from the line...she got there at 6:25 and was the 3rd person in line. There are now 6 people in line.

Impressive!!

It would be great to hear the results of this morning's rush. I assume the rush tickets were sold out quickly - what time did the last lucky person get on line?

[BillFinn]

Posted: 6/3/09 at 11:35am

6:30AM????? AHHHHH. That's bad. I'm coming into town this weekend to see it, but that's pretty early.

[adamgreer]

Posted: 6/3/09 at 11:44am

This weekend will be insane, given that there is no shows on Sunday, and Saturday is Aaron's final 2 (for now) performances.

[heo1128]

Posted: 6/3/09 at 12:04pm

I'm afraid to ask what time people are getting there on Saturday...I am dying to rush, but I don't think I can make it earlier than 5.
