Rushing a show...GENERAL INFO NEEDED#1

How many theatres actually check student id's?

If I went with just my state id...would they still let me get the rush ticket?

I AM a student...I just dont have an Id

Now all I see are cute boys with short haircuts in a maze of their own...

If it's a student rush, they will check for a student ID. If it's general rush or any of the lotteries, a state-issued ID will do.

I remember I was going to rush a show, but didn't have my student ID yet. My friend was going to see if he could get his student ID at NYU. Luckily he was able to. If not, I was prepared with my license and acceptance letter as well as additional papers from my college verifying that I was a student. If box offices see you go through all that trouble to try to prove you are a student, will they give you the tickets?

Logan...I believe they were asking if a show had student rush if a student ID was required. Not which shows have student rush.

I'm still iffy about Student Rush beacause I'm in middle school, so I have a feeling they'll be harder on me or just suspect I'm getting cheap tickets for my mom or something.

There were a few times when I forgot to bring my student ID with me, but the box offices would sell me tickets anyway. Just make sure you look like a student and that rush for the show you want to see is not in demand. I think the hotter shows would be more strict about carding. When a show hasn't managed to sell all of its student rush tickets 20 minutes before curtain, they'll usually sell them to anyone who claims to be a student.

Maybe I just got lucky those few times, but it's worth a try. The worst they can do is just not sell you a ticket.

millie_dillmount, when I did JB rush last Wednesday I'd lost my student id from my high school and I'm going to college next year and I brought the mail from the school about how to go about getting my new id and I printed out stuff from the website where you go to get it which shows how tog et it and what it will look like but without the picture. It was fine.

Just a warning: they won't take anything but an ACTUAL student ID at LEGALLY BLONDE. My brother gave them his report card, and they refused him tickets.

There are actually high schools without IDs issued still? I figured when the ones in Raleigh, NC had them, they'd be pretty much universal.
