They only sell a certain amount of rush tickets. They can sell you balcony seats for the same price, and chances are you will be moved down to the mezz.
The view from the mezz is good, but it's more fun in the orchestra.
I went to the show the day they announced the TONY nominations. I went at around 5pm, and they didn't have any rush tickets, and the mezz was only half full. The sooner you go, the better, obviously.
