Ah thats funny.. cause I remember a little something like this happening:
Me: Do you have any rush tickets for tonight?
Box office guy: (rude) No
Me: That's ok! Do you have rush or student tickets in general?
Box office guy: No-- Can you please get off the line I need to serve the person behind you
Worst box office expirence ever.

Ah I know! I was so nice too. More so then I usually am! It's funny cause after that I rushed 110 in the shade and I got to my seat -- and they had sold the same seat to someone else. Bad day at the box offices for me.
Hmm. I'm getting off topic..
I'll have to try xanadu again.

I heard rush tickets are always onstage...true or is it just anything they have left in the theatre?
Also, if I got to the box office at around 5:30 (since they start selling at 6 for an 8PM show, I hear) would I still be able to get tickets?

Rush tickets start with the empty stage seats.

.... what if you don't want to sit on stage? They should have the option, since some people don't feel comfortable with that. I know, beggars can't be choosers, but being uncomfortable with sitting ON the stage isn't really the same as being picky about having great seats when you sit in the house, IMO, since the reasoning is probably more valid than, "I wanna sit CLOSE!" or "I don't like these seats!"

I'm assuming Rush is a better bet (at $26.25) over TKTS ($60)?
I really don't need the security of getting tickets for tonight as I can cruise by the box office on my way home from work any day this week, but it seems Rush is cheaper and quite possibly better seats.

I don't think rush tickets are always onstage first. When I rushed I was with my grandma and the very helpful box office man asked whether we would prefer on stage or in the orchestra. I said I didn't have a preference so he gave us two seats front row orchestra on the side because he thought my grandma would be happier with those seats.

Potentially stupid question--does this mean rush for matinees starts at noon?
I thought $41 was a great deal, but $26 is even better...and I do want to be onstage again. It really enhances the daffiness of it all.

Do they actually check government issued ID too or just a valid student ID? (I ask because their thing up in the window has the age-ist assumption that students are all under 25.)

This guy infront of me when I went and got rush for the matinee on the 7th was upset because he was a student but over 25 and a fight began between him and the box office guy, he kept saying "I have waited and was told I could get a ticket at student price! I'm a student!"
I just stood there in shock behind him.
Finally, the guy got fed up and sold it to him.
He left happy, leaving the ticket guy a bit perturbed
They do, indeed check student Ids, for the person who asked.

I guess I'll just suck up the extra $$ and save arguing.
Honestly. Students CAN be over 25. GRRR.
(Amazingly in spite of the thing about $25 tickets for under 25's at Moon which was listed on playbill.com but NOT on the info at the box office, they never checked a government ID for age, just a student ID for validation.)

I'm glad to hear it isn't always onstage. I, too, am going with my grandmother. She would definitely NOT want to sit onstage. I figured I could make her put up with it, but I'd rather see it at least once from orchestra as well.
Also, by August, will rush lines be insane, or no since people will still be all over the Tony winners (i.e. Spring Awakening where people get there at 4:30 AM)? My plane lands in the city at around 2:30 PM and then I have to check in to my hotel and such...I could probably be at the theatre by 5:30ish. Will I be too late?

The guy got his ticket.
He did have a student ID, so it did count.
I think the "25 years old" thing is very age-ist.
It really should be for any student: no age, restriction [I mean within in reason]

I may give it a shot. Everyone THINKS I'm under 25. Good genes. :)
We'll see and I'll report back. I definitely have a valid student ID and have the hours to prove I'm a full-time grad student (as well as a public school teacher, so that gives you a clue how broke I am!)
