i wanted to know if anyone can tell me the info about the color purple rush tickets. i know all the basics...like get there when the box office opens for matinees and they are usually located in the front 2 rows.
i want to know what time you'd suggest to get there if i want to see a matinee tomorrow (wednesday the 28th)? i'm coming in from queens, but my 2 friends are coming from way out on long island. i don't want to make them wake up at the crack of dawn if it's uneccessary. is 10am early enough?
thanks!

Probably not.

The week after Christmas into New Year's Day is very busy and while you may luck out and get rush tickets that late it doesn't guarantee them.

It'd be worse for your friends to come out and you not see it at all than to have them come out early.

I'd get there about 8:00 just to be on the safe side, but I am always notoriously early.

GOOOOOOOO EARLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! I went early and i was 5th in line and i got front row center seats, and they were the best seats in the house.

Stop worrying if your vision is new. Let others make that decision- They usually do. You keep moving on. Anything you do, Let it come from you. Then it will be new. Give us more to see... ~Sunday In the Park with George

Well I live in Syracuse, NY and left my house at 4:00 AM, got to NYC by 8:15 and was in line by 8:30... This was for a Saturday matinee and I was the second person in line. Keep in mind, people can buy 2 tickets each so you would want to get their early incase everyone in front of you is purchasing 2 tickets. By the time the box office opended there were probably a good 50 people in line. This was Thanksgiving week on a Saturday which is also a busy time so I would say get there at 8:00 to be safe.

since you're asking about Wed matinee: I rushed two Wednesdays ago, but for the evening show. When I got to the box office at 10:03am there were 20-25 people in line in front of me; not everyone was rushing but that line included two people already there for the evening rush (which goes on sale at noon). And this was just a regular Wednesday, it was not the Wed of Thanksgiving or of Christmas week or anything.

I agree with the 8am people have already suggested above.
