PROMISES, PROMISES offering $30 student rush tickets — Page 2

It definitely sucks, but aren't almost all rushes "subject to availability"?

---

I was there too this morning. I was really surprised that there were no tickets. I've done tons of rushes before that were "subject to availability" and have never been turned away because they just weren't giving seats that day. The lady at the box office was rather rude and told us we can buy $136.50 tickets if we'd like, but she wasn't giving us student tickets. It'd be nice to know exactly what the availability needs to be for there to be tickets given out. That said, like others have mentioned, this rush really should be done 2 hours before curtain. That way, when people start lining up, they can find out if there actually will be seats instead of waiting outside for hours (today in the frigid cold), only to find out nothing is "available."

Please tell me of a student rush that is NOT subject to availability.

The difference between privilege and right, people.

The theater owes you nothing. If they want to sell them they will, if they don't, they won't.

You can never expect a guaranteed rush ticket.

I wasn't waiting at the theatre, but I feel bad for the ones that did. They should've told them before they wait 3 hours in the cold. That's all.

---

That's a choice to wait 3 hours for rush tickets for a show that hasn't had a single performance yet.

Is he the same guy that's supposed to keep low grossing shows open because a handful of BWW'rs love them and the same guy who should keep stars from quitting even when they're being treated like crap?

You guys are just so nasty, grow up and stop being so mean. You have nothing better to do on a Saturday night? Go out, and stop torturing these poor people who had to wait on line for 3 hours to be turned away.

But you guys are tearing them up about it, just stop being so nasty, especially you Mildred Plotka, I never hear you say anything nice. But talk about kick people when they are down, you are making them feel like complete idiots when they did nothing to you.

The people complaining about not getting tickets are just being ignorant. When it says "subject to availability" you should understand there's a possibility of no tickets being available.

Mildred, are you just implying that I'm just a good for nothing teenager with no credibility? Because I find if offensive that just because I'm on the younger side you won't argue with me, I doubt you can even fight back.

You're just a jack@$$. And by making that little "New Years Resolution" you are implying that anyone under the age of 17 has no credibility.

There obviously was going to be a chance that there would be no tickets. We all knew it was "subject to availability" and we even were talking about this happening while waiting, but just hoped there would have been tickets. It just sucks that for the first time they were doing the rush, they didn't have tickets. It's obviously beyond anyone's control; it's not the box office woman's fault, though she could have been nicer about it like mentioned before. The way I look at it is that someone needed to be there to find out what was going to happen with this rush, and it happened to be the people who were there and I. A bunch of us went out and got rush tickets for shows we had been wanting to see so we still got to see some great shows tonight. Hopefully we'll be hearing more experiences throughout the week to find out what the rush situation is going to be like in the future so that we can eventually see the show.
