All rush tickets should go on telacharge because it's such a waste to go to the theater and not being able to buy tickets
Then they would all have been purchased and $150 on StubHub by now...

Rush tickets are a privilege not a right.
^ this.
Complaining on a message board is bitchy.
what actually is the poster complaining about? People that have gone more than once? (thread title) or that people OTHER than he have the chance because rush tickets are holding back tickets from general sale?
Theater isn't a right, either.

As someone who has seen it more than once, why are you bitching? You have the same opportunity to go do SRO and lottery as everyone else.
Plus you had you're chance to get tickets just like everyone else- you weren't prevented or blocked- you just waited to late.
I bought tickets in advance. Because I wanted to see it and I assumed it would be heavily sold by the time I got there. That's usually how it works.

rush tickets are a privilege not a right that's exactly my point I know I am being bitchy but there are a lot of people who can"t get tickets and I am disappointed that that a name in a hat is the only way to get tickets
That isn't true, you can get regular tickets if you try to look often, and have some flexibility in your schedule, but skipping that part...
It may be the only way to get a seat, but standing room is pretty guaranteed. Get there any day at 8 a.m. and you'll almost certainly see the show that night. Later is probably possible, too, but if you are there at 8 a.m., bring your iPad and some movies, or make friends, or whatever, that night you see the show from the back of a not-that-big theater.

A name in a hat is not the only way. There is STANDING ROOM. PLEASE, do your homework before starting to bitch.
You could also get a second job (or a first job in some instances) just to pay for your Broadway fetish
Or be extra friendly with someone who works for the show and invite them to your home for a sleepover.
It seems like you should have planned ahead, and purchased your tickets early. People can go to Hedwig 5 times a week if they can pay for it. Greedy? You're hilarious.

Oooh...oooh...great idea!
Or stand outside the theatre and look sad- maybe someone will feel sorry for you and give you a ticket. I used to do that when i was a kid- except it was standing in the mall looking at things sadly hoping someone would buy me something- and it worked a couple of times. LOL.
Like people said before- people can see a show however many times they want if they want to pay for it.

We're not talking about a show like once where they has tons of tickets available people should be happy to see hedwig once how is it hilarious that I think going to hedwig multiple times is kind of greedy it's like going to a kids birthday and you ate multiple pieces of cake and you know a lot more people are coming and know they are going to want a piece of cake but since you live two minutes away you get the option of eating multiple pieces

No. In this case, there will (almost) always be more cake.
It's time to stop while you're behind, Sweetie. No one is going to join you on your side of the fence.
Cooltu, you seem cool. But, grammatically speaking? Jesus Christ.
Guess I'm greedy. I went to the second preview and I'm going to the "last?" show, 6 months apart.
^^^ Nope, you just have great taste and want to see an extraordinary show more than once.

I knew very well there would be people bashing my post so I don't want you all to agree with me that is not what message boards are for
Oh, please. Educate us.
