Wedding Singer rush question-how late?

Posted: 7/31/06 at 9:55pm

I posted this question on another thread, but got no response. If my friends and I got to the The Wedding Singer tomorrow at about 6:30 for a 7:00 show, would a)there be student tickets available and b) would they sell them to us that late?

Thanks.

No, they usually run out of rush tickets about noon now. Although, it's a Tuesday, so maybe you have a small shot. They sell them up until curtain time if they have them, it's just a matter of whether or not they run out.

As long as the show isn't sold out, yes.

Thanks.
I read in another thread that they sell unsold tickets as student tickets, and since they don't really sell out, wouldn't that mean there would be no shortage of tickets? Or is that information incorrect?

Thanks, dtl. So, now I have two semi-conflicting pieces of information...

Okay, great. Thanks!

If we don't get tickets, I'm blaming you. :-P

While this thread is here, I minds well ask:

When does the line start for student rush on Sundays?
How much are student rush tickets?
Are the seats any seats that are open in the theatre?

Box office opens at 10 on Saturdays. I've never rushed on Saturday but I'd imagine people will start getting on line an hour before that (9). Student tickets are $26.25. They sell the first row as rush which are partial view. Once they run out of those seats, they'll sell whatever is available for student rush price.

Thanks Mel!

Anybody know about Sundays?

Also, the whole front row is partial view?

While we're asking questions that no one answered in other threads...

I asked once about rushing with 3 people, but only one student I.D., and really, I just need to know for Wedding Singer. I thought that as long as I could get 3 seats in a row, I wouldn't care if I got 2 for $26 and paid full price for the other because I'm still saving money and I know that one I.D. means only two tickets. Would they sell a rush seat for full price like that? I mean, for them it's great because they're selling something for $110 that they were only expecting 26 bucks for.

Do you think they'd do it?

The stage is kind of high. If you're in center, it's still really great..you just have to sit up a bit. But I'd stay clear of the sides. I sat all the way to the right in the front, and I didn't like it at all.

ETA: ^she said it

Why wouldn't they let her do that?

Thanks Dancing!

I have tickets for that day but my friend and her brother are coming up and they want to see it. If they get in line at 11:00, do you think that they will get the student rush tickets? Also, is it "bad partial view?" I mean, do you miss a lot?

Thanks for the help!

Edit: Mel, is it like the Hairspray stage? If they give you the tickets for student rush, can you tell them you don't want the sides?

Mistress - It's a long story, but they most likely WILL let you do it. I had 2 comps to Good Vibrations a few years ago and they tried to sell me a 3rd seat for full price. I turned it down and bought a student ticket for my guest. They weren't seated initially with us, but the 3rd seat stayed empty, so she moved back.

You can ask them to give you center- I did the first time I rushed. I've never seen Hairspray so I wouldn't know but it wasn't so bad sitting up front and you see everyone up close.

I was just thinking that it might be my best bet...It would be my parents and I and I know they want to take me but are worried about costs so I'm just trying to figure out the best way to do this (i.e., cheapest, lol.)

I'd say you'll be okay. I went at about 7 for an 8 show a few weeks ago and I was in the 7th row.

I've been 30 minutes before showtime several times and only ONCE (on a Saturday night) have they not had student rush left.

And usually the seats are pretty darn good, too!

Hey, SweetQ, the front row is awesome if you are in the center, as someone else above me mentioned. I have also been on the side, and you miss some, but not a lot. To be able to request a front row center seat on a Sunday (which I did last week), I would say 10:30. I was the 4th person in line when I did that.

I tried to get rush tix a few times and it was "sold out". They still had a few tix left at TKTS for $ 56. Another time, I tried to go and it was really sold out(even at TKTS), and i got standing room.

Are all the Wedding Singer rush tickets in the front row? Or can you request seats a bit farther back? Also, what are the chances that there will still be student tickets left on Sat night, maybe an hour or 2 before the show?

"To be able to request a front row center seat on a Sunday (which I did last week), I would say 10:30. I was the 4th person in line when I did that."

That was my exact situation and I got there 10:30 and got front row center. Regarding how long you need to get there before show time, really it depends on the day. Sometime there's a chance you can get them last minute, sometimes now.

And mistress, I wouldn't think they'd sell you a student rush at full price. Even though they could get more money for it, those seats are specifically reserved for student rush, and wouldn't be fair to the people who want student rush. The show doesn't sell out so I'm sure you can find a good seat in the orchestra.

And the partial view up front isn't bad you just don't see some of their feet if they're further back towards the stage. And you miss Steve Lynch on the bed in one scene. Honestly, it didn't take away from the show and I couldn't have asked for a better deal.
