Has anyone done lottery or rush for Paradise Square? If so, where were your seats located, and what time did you arrive for rush?

Bumping - also curious to know if anyone has tried to buy the $32 rush seats advertised on the show's website. How long was the line? Where were the tickets?

I got a rush ticket in row L of the orchestra around 6pm last night for the 7:30 show.

interesting note from industry Broadway Briefing this morning:
"Paradise Square" grossed $355,401 across its first eight preview performances, albeit with a capacity of 97%, suggesting ticket giveaways and discounting. …"

Won 1 lottery ticket for first preview. Was seated Row F, Seat 15 Left Orchestra. Definitely partial view and had left side of the stage cut off, but there isn't much staging actually happening in the left/right wing that you need to be watching at any given time since it's mostly characters making entrances and loitering on the towers whilst they move/transition. Great seat and certainly fabulous value for what I thought was a pretty entertaining show.
And re: LucasIvy, yeah... cannot be good that even larger publishing entities ala the Briefing are beginning to outwardly speak about filling the house with comps. It's one thing posting/theorizing heresay about it on the boards and talking to others, but... yikes. Not a good look on their part.

Won the lottery for last Sat, March 19th @ 8pm. Claimed my one ticket right @ 3pm on Fri and was given Center Orch Row N. Was a little bummed to not be closer, but beggars can't be choosers- ended up being a fabulous unobstructed view.

I had right orchestra row I seats 18 and 20. Seats are all the way to the right. A little is blocked but honestly like other replies very little is missed. Being close highly outweighs the little you can’t see. Also 20 has great legroom. I would of rather had these seats than center but farther back.
As for the show itself I don’t think it will be around that long. Not expecting reviews to be kind. I would not of paid full price to see this.

My wife won the lottery 3/26 for the matinee. Far left orchestra row E. Seats were assigned at the time she won. Nice and close but we moved back three rows to some empty seats on the left orchestra aisle. Great view from there.
There were quite a few empty seats and I think picking up rush tickets is probably the way to go for better seats assigned at the box office.

still loads of tickets on telecharge, I would look at rush seat prices. No need to pay full price as it appears that the reviews have not created any ticket buying frenzy

Rushed yesterday (Saturday the 23rd) at 5:00 for two tickets to the evening show. Got Orch right seats 10 and 12 for $32 each.
Good show, but great seats. Tons of availability, and I met someone who was in the rush line Saturday morning - she said only four people were in line when the box office opened.
This is the easiest show to get rush tickets for, and at $32 for full view orchestra? It's the best value on Broadway right now.

Didn't rush the show, saw the matinee yesterday. Our seats were discounted via a Broadwaybox code. $55 for 3rd row Mezz. The Mezz was only about 40% full. Unfortunately, my friend and I didn't care for the show.

I won lottery for yesterday’s matinee - seat was orchestra right, K-8. It seems that most side orchestra seats are lottery and rush - the people in K-6 and K-4 also had won lottery. Didn’t ask the person in K-2.

I’m curious if rush tickets are still easy to get with the show closing so soon? Has anyone rushed lately? I just saw the show Tuesday & absolutely loved it. Really hoping to see it one more time before it closes.

Went to the box office this morning to pick up rush tickets (lost the lottery yesterday!) for tonight's show 07/14/2022. I got to the box office at 10:10 a.m. ET — there was either no line or the line had just completed, and I was able to purchase seat ORCH K12 for $39.
Hope that helps!

Arrived at the box office around 1:30 and rush tickets were gone ![]()
I'm guessing there is more interest with it closing soon, so I probably won't get to see it again. Super bummed!
