How does the Student Rush for Norman Conquests work on Marathon days? Can you get tickets for all three plays, or is it only two tickets per person? How is the rush these days?

From what I've heard at the box office, due to the demand for the marathon day tickets, they've stopped selling rush tickets for the marathon days.

Wow, really? Because I was sort of relying on student rush to get tickets this Sunday. That would be really annoying if you're right jagfkb.

On marathon days they usually have rush tickets for Table Manners, but not for the other two. So it wouldn't surprise me if they stopped selling the Table Manners ones too.

Ask at the box office during intermission for the next show. They don't want to sell rush tix to all the performances in the morning.

Can we get more info on this. Has anyone tried recently? The grosses only put them at 90%, so I doubt it's literally sold out on marathon days...they really won't sell rush tickets at all?

How does that logic make sense? Marathons only happen once a week. They sell out on Saturdays for the marathons and only sell 80% or so on the weeknights, putting them at 90% for the week.

I tried to rush Norman (Living Together) this past Saturday and arrived at 10AM when the box opened. They told me that they were not selling rush because it was close to being sold out since the Tony's and everything. So I just bought a discount seat second row :) However they did have standing room and it was pretty much packed!

That contradicts your earlier statement of having rush for Table Manners on Saturdays. If they are sold out, how much is the standing room?

Sorry, I meant that they were selling rush for Table Manners on marathon days prior to this supposed rush stoppage. I just meant that it's not impossible for them to be selling out on weekends and be at only 90% for the entire week, meaning they wouldn't sell rush for Table Manners anymore either on marathon days.

Although, they could sell the empty seats to Table Manners as rush tickets on marathon days and STILL sell out, so it's not really a contradiction. It would just be sold out after the fact, not before.

I'm looking at tickets now, is row A in the 200 section too close?

Just curious if there is any more news on the marathon rush for this final month? Thanks.

I haven't done it, planning on going on the 18th, but I asked a box office guy what the policy was to attempt to set the record straight.

He said they sell all three when the box office opens, but Living Together has been selling out, and when it does they will sell standing room. He didn't have suggestions on what time to get there, but they do sell two tickets per id per show, and you can get all three at the same time.

When I go, I plan on getting there 8:30, does that sound like a good time, or should I plan on earlier?

I arrived at 10am yesterday and got rush for the whole marathon. No complaints!

I stopped by yesterday at around 10:45am and got a rush ticket for Round & Round the Garden. And someone in front of me asked for a rush seat to one of the other shows. No problems at all.
