The Band’s Visit Rush Policy Announced — Page 2

^Ah whoops, right you are. Thanks!

My friend got there at around 8:40 yesterday (Monday) and was the 9th person in line for tickets #15 and 16. Our seats were right orchestra row C, the last 2 seats all the way off to the side.

I've never been able to figure out if theatres just use whatever seats areleft that dayfor Rush tickets or if they hold tickets back specifically for Rush? Or maybe it changes from show to show/theatre to theatre. Just trying to decide if it's worth it to rush for not-optimal seats, if the sightline is strongly impacted,or wait until we are back in December and purchase better seats indvance."

We were lucky as there were three empty seats in our row, so everyone further down the row moved seats. The view from the last two seats in the row is certainly obstructed, you can't see parts of that side of the stage, but you don't miss anything at all as far as I can remember because basically everything happens center stage. From what I gather in reading this thread and observing other people who did rush that day, it seems like they always keep the same, or at least very similar, seats for rush.

I wish someone could post a picture of their view.

Can you update us on how the rush was today?

I rushed the show this weekend Saturday 10/28. I arrived at 6:50am and was 5th in line. There was someone who came right behind me though I’d say the majority of people arrived between 7:30am and 8:15am. I wouldn’t come later than that to risk not getting a ticket though a two show day always helps. The line was around 50ish people by the time the box office opened by my guess, not sure who did or didn’t get tickets.

I was given row E 18 and 20 in the orchestra which was marked as partial view and was so. I’d warn that for “Welcome to nowhere” I couldn’t see all that much as the band stands along the side of the stage obstructing the view. I’d say for 80 percent of the show it was fine but there were some moments you definitely missed a bit. Still, it is worth it to be that close for this show. I took my mom who loved the show and for my third time seeing it (twice on Broadway and once at the Atlantic) it was well worth it. If I were going for the first time I might recommend seeing it from the rear mezz first.

Bump- planning to rush on Friday. Anyone have updates from this week? Thank you!

Arrived about 6:20am. No one else showed up for about an hour, and by 8am there were 4-5 people in line. People came a bit more steadily after that, and when the box office opened I'd say there were about 20-25 people in line. Didn't stick around to see how many actually got tickets, after I got extreme side orchestra row C. As a short person I hope I can see most of the action... really looking forward to the show!

In case anyone is looking to rush the weekend- I rushed last Saturday and was 5th in line at 7am

BluePurpleYellowRed said: "Possibly dumb question - do they sell rush seats upon box office opening for both the matinee and the evening show on two show days? Or do they wait to start rush sales for the evening show only after the matinee ends? Just trying to decide how early to arrive. Thanks. "

All rush seats are available at box office opening.
