Hi everyone. I have four little cousins who are all under the age of 18. We are interested in going to see a Broadway show, and we have never used student IDs before... we have always paid full price or went to TKTS. I was wondering if student tickets were only for college/university students, or if any student ID would suffice.... middle school ID, high school ID, etc. Thanks!

from what i've heard, you can only use highschool or college IDs. but i'm not entirely sure.

You might want to check with the specific show in which you're interested.

99% of shows allow any form of student ID. This new "4 year Ivy League School ID" policy one or two shows have is brand new and I doubt will last long.

What shows have that policy?

Some shows specify that they only accept 4-year college/university IDs for their rush. White Christmas does it, and I believe Little Mermaid did it too. I'd check with the specific show you're interested in, but most shows will take any student ID. I've personally only done rush when I was in high school/college so I don't know about the middle school thing.

I did rush with my brother when he was in 6th grade, and I myself was doing rush around once a week when I was in 7th/8th grade, and never had any problems. My ID only ever had my graduation year on it, though, never what my current grade was. And I've always looked a little older than I am.

I believe that the only show that offers student discounts for college students only are White Christmas and South Pacific.

I never fully understood what The LIttle Mermaid's rush policy was. I went the the show once using my student ID during a wednesday afternoon of my senior year in high school and they accepted the ID. Went back a while later when I was in college with my college ID and when asked about their student rush policy, the woman I was dealing with said that the person must not have been doing his job. And, that he shouldn't have given me a ticket with my high school ID.

I wish NY had the "day seat" policy as in London.

I didn't want to start my own thread. Where are the Memphis rush tickets? It said subject to availablity but does anyone have any experience?

Most theaters say that and often just hold the tickets regardless of sales...but they are not PROMISING to make them available.

I would suspect that you shouldn't worry about them selling them as their numbers are fabulous. Check playbill.com or the above site for the details.

Someone else may give you a sense of how busy rush for this is.

MEMPHIS rush is best available at the time. I got 3rd row center the first time I did it. You're best off going Tuesday-Thursday for better seats.
