Thinking of going this weekend. Has anyone done it recently?

I went a couple days after Christmas and was able to easily get 2 rush tickets at around 6 pm.
I went this past Sunday and got there a few minutes after 11 (box office is open at 12 on Sundays) and there already quite a few people ahead of us. We did get tickets (row F, the last two rows on the aisle but the view was pretty prefect) and I know the people after us got tickets so they must give out a lot.
Is rush for THE HEIRESS student rush only? Are they adamant about checking IDs?
It is Student only, and they did check my ID. You get two tickets per ID, though.

anyone been lately? where are the seat locations typically?
thanks so much!
My partner rushed for us. He's a student, and they do check IDs, although they barely glanced at it. Our seats were in Row C of the orchestra (which is the second row at this theatre), house left, the furthest seats on the far aisle. For a different production these seats would probably be considered partial view, but we didn't miss anything, save for the performers' backs being to us at times. The people behind us in line were seated directly behind us in Row D, so I imagine they use rush to sell the sides of the orchestra.
I doubt you'd have much trouble getting in. We rushed at 4pm for a 7pm curtain and didn't have any trouble.
I went on Friday, the 18th... got there at 8:45 AM, and there were already 22 people in line. I did get tickets though, Orchestra Row G, house left, side aisle.

thanks all. showed up at 9:15 and there were 12 people in front - and not all were getting rush tix so we lucked out.
we got seats row D stage left and row c stage right both on the far sides. anyone have input on if one side is better than the other?
Got a box seat stage left last night. Great seat, the only thing I missed was the top of the staircase in which nothing happened. A lot of action happens stage right though, so you might miss some stuff? Maybe not, but we could also the front entrance of the house, which I dont believe is possible to see from House left. I recommend stage left (house right) you wont miss anything!
