Pippin Rush

[tking001]

I don't get the appeal of selling a box seat at full price.
I was at TKTS the other night and Pippin was up for 20%
They quoted me a box at $116.50
Which as we know boxes are more often then not a partial view seat.
So why sell partial view at full price?
Doesn't make sense
Even if they sold the boxes for $89 or something a bit cheaper

If you do get a rush seat, do they expect you to rush to your seat perhaps using a slow run or a brisk trot or can you walk normally and even pause to use the restroom if needed before entering the seating area? What is their policy?

[tking001]

I think the meaning behind a "rush seat" Is that everything is in a line and "rushes" to get them at the same time. Meaning that they take the line of people for these specialized priced tickets at a particular time and not throughout the day.

Anyone Rush today??? Did they raise prices???

Do people still tend to start lining up at 5:00 am, even on Sundays? I don't want to wait on line for seven hours if I don't have to.

Does anyone know how busy rush is on weekdays? I'm considering rushing this show on Thursday.

Noracharles, it's looking like it might still be that way. When I walked by at 8:30 this (Saturday) morning, there were more than 50 people in line.

For gchris,
I rushed on Wednesday and the price was still $37, and they still sold box seats.

Do they sell a set number of tickets? On Playbill just recently it said that they sell what's available, which on some days could be nothing.

[gchris11]

the MAX number they have is 20. but it could be less.

[ACL2006]

and there's only 15 SRO spots. unless they moved the merchandise stand from the stage right SRO spots.

nora-my friend went last Sunday (it opens later on Sunday-12 noon) and said the line didn't form as early as it had on the weekdays or Sat. (For what it's worth, she said people didn't get there until more like 7.)

[theminutepast]

You're still waiting five hours in line.

Bump-
Has anyone rushed lately? I'm planning on going this Saturday morning and don't know whether to get there at 5 or 6am... thanks for your help!

[brettarnett]

Has anyone tried Rush lately at Pippin? I am going to try and see this next week. If I try during the week could I show up a few mins before the box office opens (and are the seats still in the boxes or do they vary)?

[darreyl102]

Where have the seats been located for Rush lately?

[brdway411]

Not sure, I have not rushed since the week the new leads went in. Was not impressed with the new cast. He is too old and she does not have the same bite/edge that Patina had. I may go back for the new Charles (since he was the original Pippin), but other than that I am steering clear of this mess.
