To Kill a Mockingbird Rush — Page 3

Saralou said: "Just to offer a few words of warning, I don't know about other theaters but the ledge to lean on here is quite high, especially out towards the side because the floor has a slope. I did ok but it would have been much more comfortable if it was a few inches lower. And I'm fairly tall. The lady next to me was probably not much more than 5 feet and basically could only peek over the wall. "

I second this warning! I am a little over 5’1” and I got lucky and was given SRO in the centre section (spots 104/105). But when we walked in, I went to the side sections and couldn’t even see over the ledge. I’m not sure what I would have done if my ticket had been for there (stood on a booster seat???). If you are short and have a choice, ask for the centre as the ledge is lower there, even though I was still at a level where I basically rested my chin on the ledge.

The view was amazing though, and I was worried about standing for so long at a play, but the time flew by. As a bonus, Aaron Sorkin stood beside me most of the time, and also went and sat on the stairs right behind me for some of the play. I then got to speak to him after the show and he signed my playbill. Lovely man who told me to call him Aaron when I called him Mr. Sorkin.

Woke up late by accident on Saturday 1/12 and got there around 9:35/9:40. Had to have been around the 30th person in line. Knew it probably wouldn't work, but stayed anyways, and was able to get SRO tickets behind center orchestra. Haven't felt that lucky since I got a cancellation ticket to Hamilton. Absolutely phenomenal show, and a fantastic view. thanks to everyone who provided info to the thread!

1. What time do they start selling rush tickets each day? Does it depend on the performance time?
2. On two show days, do they sell rush tix for both shows at the same time? In other words, do your chances for tix increase on a Saturday because you could potentially get rush seats for the matinee or the evening show?
Thanks in advance!! "

The box office opens at 10am. I did a two show day. Got there around 8am and was 13th in line. They sell both shows at 10am. Since I already had tickets to a matinee, I chose the PM show. Most people in front of me also chose evening, but that’s just luck of the draw. You may have better choice of seats/spots if you can go to either show.

Still, I overheard they still had a few single rush tickets for the matinee performance along with SRO. I was lucky enough to get 2 SRO tickets for the evening performance. They had two more Rush seats left for the evening but they weren't together and were located in separate box seats opposite sides of the theater. $39 each."

I would have expected the Box Office to open at noon as well. What time does it actually open on Sundays?

I know theyre pretty strict on their no refund or exchange policy so I guess Im going to end up losing out but I still want to see the show- I guess rush would be my only option or buying full priced tickets?"

Have you checked with the theatre to see if the past date tickets?

I arrived at the theater at around 9:55 AM last Saturday, the line was probably to the end of the theater (not sure how many people... over 30 maybe?) By the time I got there, they had Standing Room for Matinee and a single partial view ticket. It seems like they also had standing room for the night show. People were passing on the standing room which is how I was able to get two. Success!

Kea4 said: "Anyone rush last week? Any advice when to arrive this Saturday if I want two SRO tickets for the evening performance?"

Looking to do the same on Saturday but for the matinee. Thoughts?

Bumping to see if anyone has any recent rush updates. :)

Does anyone know if they let you choose between SRO and the far house left/right seats? I'm visiting in March and would love to see the show, but I just can't afford the premium priced tickets. Reading through this thread it seems that the SRO tickets are the better option for the sake of sightlines.

Hopefully going to be in the city next week and would really like to try Rush/SRO for this. Just to recap, what time would be best to arrive in order to guarantee a ticket? Also, which side house Left or Right provides the better view, as I recall people noting of the issue with the piano obstructing the view for a lot of the action? Last, also in recapping, the 29.00 tickets are not the best way to go as the view is also quite obstructed? And the next price level is 50.00, with SRO around the 35.00 price range? Apologies for all the mass of questions just wanted to make sure I am fully prepared when I arrive! :)
