anyone done in yet? how does this work? i understand it's for sold out performances only. so if i wait at the box office before it opens on a day it is sold out (a sat matinee) would my chances be good? and what time should i get there?

This has been stated several times already: "Spamalot" is not doing rush until after the show opens.

They are not doing rush, ever.

And they are 90% sure they're not doing standing room either.

This is what I was told at the B.O.

Spamalot isn't doing rush ever and for the safety of the performers, they have pulled SRO tickets.

I asked at the box office. The guy said that they tried it once.....and it was a "complete disaster" and thinks it is unlikely they will sell SRO. But that decision won't be made until after the show opens. I hope they do, because I really want to see the show, but don't want to pay the money.

Not to give anything away, but there are a number of entrances by castmembers in bulky costumes from the audience. They found SRO to be potentially dangerous for the actors.

Maybe they will institute a rush lottery or something. It's almost unheard of for a show not to offer any form of discounted tickets. I'd be interested in seeing the show because it's a great cast, but I'm not a Monty Python fan so I'm not interested in paying full

I think that they can't instate a lottery at this point, as they seem to have pre-sold all the seats for a while.

Seeming as the show is completely sold out through July, they have no seats to instate a rush policy....

I know...it's always a pisser when a show doesn't have many options for those of us who are financially challenged. I guess your best bet at Spamalot would be the rear balcony seats for $35. That's what I ended up opting for (going Monday). Sure they aren't the greatest seats, but I sat there for Gypsy, and it wasn't SO terrible. I guess when it comes down to it, a not so great seat is better than no seat at all!

My boyfriend did cancellation line last Friday night. He got there at 5pm, and by 7:05 had two tickets (last row orchestra center)

Thanks for the advice.

i have never done cancellation for any show before...
does anyone know if it's even possible to get 3 tickets together?

Each theatre/show has a different policy, as in a limit as to how many tickets per person. Most theatres are 2, some are 1.

Surprisingly, I don't know the answer to that question... I've never been in a position where I've had to do cancellation tickets for anything at the Shubert. You'd have to ask there.
