The Color Purple - rush/student tickets ? — Page 4

I got there just before 7am and there were people in front of me, and by 730 it was 25 people in line (I didn't count the number of people in front of me but I'd guess at least 9 when I'm thinking of specific people)

There was a girl who had tried the rush for the third time and I have no idea how deep the line itself went, I thought people were exaggerating but there were dozens of people (kind of confused by that but understand the desire to see the show.)

they had 20 tickets per show, at least that's what someone else told me, so I'm not sure if that varies and maybe someone else already mentioned. I wasn't worried about getting tickets and I assumed several people would get the partial view tickets

I will go to the review thread to post but this show was amazing, I finally understand in full why people were raving about this show and this cast.

BUMP

How has the rush line been lately? I was planning on stopping by the theatre on the 8th of July with two other people to try to get rush tickets.

What are the prices like as well?

How much were your seats and how were they?

My tickets were $35 each. I was in the front box, and I have to say those were probably the best box seats I have ever sat in. however, the color purple normally only sells box seats for $35. But once the $35 seats are all gone you can buy $50 partial view seats.

Hi gleek4114, if you're reading this now, you may be too late to get any rush tickets... was rushing yesterday, arrived at 7.10 am and was already 14th in line. By 8am, there were already 60 people or so in line. First person was there before 6am!

I got box seats. Would have preferred orchestra. If I had to do it again, I would have gone at 6.30 so I had options on where to seat... hope this helps. :)

I had read other reports, so I was there at 6:20 this morning and was 3rd in line. I got 3 seats in Box C. I hear the boxes are actually pretty good for this show. Super excited to see it (even though Danielle is out).

I got to the theatre at 7 am and was 3rd in line for Rush but this was before the Tonys so I think it may have gotten more popular since then. The theatre box office is in the lobby of the Jacobs theatre 242 W 45th Street.

I am a newbie as well and plan to get tickets for either show this Saturday (July 30). Since I am going to be arriving much later than 7 am, is there a different line for the evening show that starts after the matinee or would I need to get into the same line to get evening tickets?

In case anyone is wondering, I was there around 6:40 a.m. today and was 7th in line and managed to get 2 rush tickets for $70 total. By 7 am there were already approx. 7 people behind me so definitely be there before 7 if you want to have a good chance of getting tickets. By 10 there were at least 60-70 people in line. I just watched some movies on my phone and the time passed by really quickly.

I was there yesterday as well and got to the line after 10. Though there was a line, it was moving as not everyone there wanted rush tickets for that day. I missed out on rush tickets for the evening show but did get secondary rush. My seat was in the rear mezzanine on the side. The sound was loud enough and I could see the whole show. I never felt like I wasn't engaged in the performance.

Honestly, to see this whole cast, I would sit anywhere because I enjoyed it that much.

Got there today Sunday 8/7 at 7:15am and was second in line. Now 8:30am and there are 10 people in line. Box office opens at noon today.

By 9am the line was up to about 20 and by 11am 50+. So I'd say get there 7-7:30 to be safe. I believe they only give out the 16 box seats at $35 (which are incredible for this show!)

Thank you so much for the update! Very helpful. One more question, I can't picture if there is anywhere to take shelter from the rain outside of the theater. Like at Hamilton you can sit on the steps under the awning, but for The Color Purple should we bring our umbrellas Sunday morning? Thanks in advance!
