Sunday in the park (rush) — Page 2

My friend got to the rush line yesterday (Thursday) morning at 6 am and there was about 8 people in front of her..and she thinks she got the last of the official rush tickets. There were lottery loser seats for those who didn't get the official front row rush seats (at the same or close to the same price) but she was unaware how many they offered or where they were. We sat in the front row and I was surprised how good a seat it was - the stage is high but not really THAT high to prevent a good view.

What kind of discount seats have they been offering (if any) after the front row rush tickets run out? I don't think I'll be able to make the first 14 tickets but am curious whether anyone has had success with day-of discounts. Thanks!

Does anyone have any advice on when to show up for rush on Sunday? I believe the box office opens at noon as opposed 10am every other day. Thanks!

Thanks for the report! Was this for a matinee, and how was the view from rear orchestra?

I am actually in the rush line right now, and there are already 5 of us (I'm 4th)! :) I got here about 3:20, the people in front of me not long before that.

Oh wow! Congratulations!! Thank you for your feedback. I'm happy I decided to postpone because my bus wouldn't have gotten in until 7.

My friend and I were the last 2 people to get tickets! We got in line at 4:25 and we got 1 front row seat and this random seat in the last row, cause there were apparently 14 front row seats and 1 random one in the back.

I walked into the box office at 4:30pm yesterday and got a rush ticket for last nights performance.

I went around 2pm on Friday, and they didn't have anything. They did have some cheaper seats available, but since I have tickets for later in the run i decided against it. I think it's hit or miss as well, and I might try again on Tuesday.

As i said earlier in the thread, I went at 12p on a Wednesday and was able to get rush. I would never get to the box office at 3a for a show. I might as well just pay regular price.

Are they planning to do a lottery soon?

There's certainly one tomorrow, since that's when I'm going.

I tweeted asking about a future rush/standing room/lottery and the Sunday twitter account mentioned that they would be making an announcement next Monday. Obviously that's not a confirmation of anything but I wouldn't be surprised if they at least had some sort of standing room policy.

So it turns out that apparently the producers are British and follow the (what I find very annoying) practice of having tickets through more than one broker. So Telecharge has one block and then the box office and their site has another block: http://www.thehudsonbroadway.com/whatson/sunday-in-the-park-with-george/

So there are two shows tomorrow and they still have tickets on that site, but Telecharge doesn't even have it listed. So strange. This does explain why I had to get different tickets at the box office than i found on the Telecharge site, though; the woman explained that they had different inventory, but I didn't realize why.
