The St James holds the front row for rush tickets, after that they sell side orchestra. Last Thursday I got in line at 8am was 2nd in line and there were about 15 people in line at 10am. This past Tuesday I went by the box office at 2pm and bought a rush seat as well.

Rear side orchestra. But I was actually very satisfied with the view.

I did rush last Thursday, the 30th, and got A 114 (aisle) at around 10:45 am. The guys next to me said they got in line around 9, and that the people behind them in line got tickets too, so I assume they got side orchestra and that I got A 114 after because it was a single seat left.

Rushed it this weekend. I arrived at about 8:30 and was 10th in line. Got front row orchestra far house left. Great seats!

How high is the stage? Can you see the stage floor from the front row rush seats? And how tall are you all? I'm 4'11" so front-row rush is usually pretty rough for me to see anything below the thigh.

I'm about 5'10, and I could see the actors' shoes, and everything that happened upstage. You might not be able to see the actors' shoes, but you should be fine with everything else.

What time would everyone recommend I get there for a Sunday matinee?

For anyone wondering. I got there at 10:20 and received G24 for the matinee. Not my ideal seat, but my fault for getting there late.

Musicaltheatreman2, I believe it is a youth rush, for people 30 years of age and under. 2 tickets per person.

Anyone know if they're still selling front row at all? I rushed today and everyone got side orchestra, same thing happened two weeks ago.

emily-NO! (I was sad to learn that it's all side orch. The right is better than the left, from what I've seen.)

[gstrus2]

How are the side orch seats? Anyone have any insight?

[emilyfaye48]

Side orchestra are still great seats. You might miss an entrance here or there depending on what side you're on but nothing crazy.

They're fine. The right is better than the left.

Philly-yes they are.

I just wanted to confirm, does the box office open at 12 pm on Sundays? The website says rush tickets start selling at 10 am on show days, so I wanted to check. I'm debating whether I should rush this this Sunday or go buy the Last Ship cast recording between 11:30-12 to get a chance at getting Sting's autograph in the afternoon... Ahhh, choices choices choices. Also, any ideas when I should line up for rush on Sundays to be safe? Any info would be much appreciated!

Bump. Anyone know when the box office opens tomorrow and how the line is recently?
