So the short version is the show is PACKED on weekends and EMPTY earlier in the week. That's why they limit the number of tickets sold for the weekend shows. Need to go on the weekend? Get there early.
Joshua - when did you go?

if you go on a sunday you better get your but there early there are these girls who go every weekend and they are always there they take up at least 8 seats sometimes its more which i think is unfair and they should give other people a chance but they probably arent gonna back down soo get there early
Someone asked how they sell. They sell starting with A101, right center on the aisle. After that, they sell right then left, starting with the aisle and moving towards the sides.
I've sat in A3 and A104, and like A3 better.
The left side is a lot better IMO.

Thanks DRS, I asked about how they sell tickets.
So that means it's better to not be the absolute first in line because the seats might be better?
The last time I went, the people behind me got center and they gave me all the way to the right. I was really pissed. I guess they did it becuase it was just me and my mom but it really wasn't a good view at all, and the people right behind me got dead center.

Aargh, that doesn't seem fair at all. This front row thing seems way harder than it should be, haha. I liked it better when they sold whatever they had available as student rush.

I still haven't figured out the logic of how they give out the rush tickets at TWS. They always start with A101-104 but after that it could be anything in the front row. Luckily, I prefer being a little more to the right than dead center, so as long as I'm one of the first ones there, I know I'm covered.

I honestly don't know WHAT to do. I get there so sparingly that I want everything to be perfect.
I guess the only thing to do is get there when I can and hope that the trip goes like my last one to see TWS. Everything worked out so perfectly, I really couldn't believe my luck.
Yeah, a lot of it has to do with luck. If you happen to pick a day that a big group is there, you're probably screwed for rush. Personally, I think it's really inconsiderate to other people to bring large groups to rush since there are limited seats...but whatever. Good luck!
It's not inconsiderate, it's a first come, first served basis. If you and your "group" get there first then naturally you get the first tickets. I don't see a problem.
It honestly doesn't matter where you sit.
It's 26 bucks, the people behing you spent 111 or the premium price of 250.
When I got there around 10:30 on a Sunday over the summer (box office opens 12 on Sundays), there were about 4 people ahead of me. So, 8:25 seems like a pretty safe time to show up for the show. It's only about 1.5 hrs.

well when i got there they had 5 tickets left for the matinee and my group got seats 112-114, and then the guy behind us got 115-116. so i dont know how they did it, but by the time i got there, they only had the 5 seats left furthest to the left as you face the stage
