Rush policies for new shows?

Posted: 9/14/10 at 9:56am

Hey guys - So I'm Googled and I'm having trouble finding any information about rush/SRO policies for shows like A Life in the Theatre, BBAJ, Women on the Verge, La Bete, Lombardi, Elf, Rain, or Scottsboro?

Thanks in advance!

They probably don't have anything in place yet, if there will be anything.

Most shows don't announce rush/lottery policies until right before they open (or even after they open).

I have found the best website (and most updated) is www.broadwayforbrokepeople.com which a fellow BWW poster started.

BBAJ will have a Lottery according to Telecharge $20 per ticket

La Bete will probably have a student rush because most other shows at the music box have done student rush. And I don't think it makes sense for a small straight play to have a lottery

My guess is Life in Theatre will be rush 2

I believe BBAJ will have a lottery.

Women on the Verge, being a Lincoln Center production, will probably have rush if there are available seats.

^ going with what Kad said, Lincoln Center's rush policy is $20 tickets 2 hours before curtain, one per ID. I know for the Beaumont and Newhouse it's whatever seats are left, but I'm not sure that'll be the policy at the Belasco. That's IF there's a rush for Women on the Verge.

When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain. -Kad

When I checked at the box office, they said that WOMEN ON THE VERGE will have the normal Lincoln Center rush policy of $20 (however, because it's not in a Lincoln Center house, they have to charge the $1.50 restoration fee). I believe it's 2 tickets per ID, but I am not positive.

BBAJ will be a lottery, but they don't know pricing or other details yet.

ALITT will almost definitely be student rush, $29, 2 per ID, but they have not officially decided yet.

More and more shows are waiting until they day they start previews to decide on a policy, so keep Googling and checking.

Yero, any idea if they will be setting aside seats for rush for Women on the Verge, or will it be whatever's left?

I remember reading that the BBAJ lottery might be a student lottery, in the vein of AMERICAN IDIOT, for $20. Anyone know if that's changed to a general lottery for sure?

Some people paint, some people sew, I meddle.

Where were the rush seats traditionally located for past Lincoln shows? Was it what was left over or set aside seats?

theaterkid1015, AMERICAN IDIOT is definitely a general lottery now.

I'm curious to find out what the lotto/rush situation would be for 'Elf' too, but I'm sure they won't announce it for a while. I'll just continue to cross my fingers that all of the affordable seats don't sell out from AmEx users!

Any word on if there is a rush for La Bete? I might be coming for the flea market this weekend and would love to catch this before I leave the country...

dragonip Elf has $39 seats(last 2 rows of the mezz) and they will most likely have Standing room after they open when they sell out

I will find out about the new shows this afternoon. I can't update Broadwayforbrokepeople until the evening, but if you Like the page on Facebook (facebook.com/broadwayforbrokepeople) I'll post the policies there as soon as I know them.

I'm hoping The Scottsboro Boys has something. I'm thinking about seeing their evening show on 10/10 (after a Women on the Verge matinee), but am putting off buying a seat in the balcony with hopes that there will be some sort of rush.
