Other Desert Cities - standby tickets?

I still have two free slots during my upcoming NYC trip (Jan 21 & 26), for which I've been trying to get 1 ticket for Other Desert Cities, but no luck so far. I check several times a day, but the run seems to be pretty much sold out.

Are they offering standby / rush tickets (no student rush, I sadly don't qualify for that anymore)? If yes, anyone tried it with or without success?

I'm an LCT member, don't know if that makes any difference... Any advise is very much appreciated. Thanks!

I was able to get a cancellation ticket the night before my desired performance. Just keep checking.

Thanks for the advise, AC! I kept checking and today one ticket popped up for the Jan 26 matinee. I'm thrilled that I'll be able to go after all.

Elke, did you call to buy the ticket or did you buy online thru telecharge? I have had no luck online and am wondering if I need to call or if they will show up online. Thanks

I got it online via the LCT Member Hub. But I assume the availability on the regular Telecharge website and phone is the same, just a different price.

Thanks Elke, I would not be surprised if they only offer the cancellations to their members.

I was at 'Other Desert Cities' the other night, sitting in the last row, and overheard a handful of theatergoers next to me, talking about how they each got last-minute cancellations at the box office. Sounds like they just waited in line before that evening's show.

I did this on Tuesday evening. My friend and I were the 4th and 5th people in line. We got there around 5:40pm. By about 7:45, we had our tickets (2nd to last row, dead center). Only six people got cancellation tickets that evening.

I would recommend getting there around 5pm to ensure you get tickets...just bring a book or your iPod.

The show was outstanding.

I'm assuming cancellation tickets will not be sold at a student rate... has anyone had any luck getting the $20 student tix?

I believe every ticket for the remainder of the run will be sold at full price: $85 (which is what I paid).

Hi. Anyone get in on for a Wednesday matinee? What time did you get on line? Thank you.
