Posted: 11/19/13 at 12:39pmYeah these rush prices are getting out of hand. Especially for a show that I don't think will even do that well.

Posted: 11/19/13 at 12:46pmIsn't every rush pretty much between $35 and 40$ now? Unfortunately, seems to be the new normal. :

Posted: 11/19/13 at 12:47pmKINKY BOOTS is also a lottery now. They are generally cheaper.

Glass Menagerie is $37, Kinky is $37, Gentleman's Guide is $35, Annie is $40, Chicago is $37, Once is $35, Pippin is $37, and Spiderman is $40.
Before we get hyperbolic about these prices, I wanted to point out that $40 is pretty much standard rush price now. So...yeah, it stinks that the days of $20 tickets are gone, but this isn't really a surprise.

Posted: 11/19/13 at 12:54pmWell Spider-Man and Annie are closing. So other than those 2 the others are HITS and not 40.

StickIt: Yeah, Book of Mormon pretty much remains the exception ($27 SRO, $32 lotto).
Thanks for the Beautiful rush info, though!

Posted: 11/19/13 at 1:13pmI think MTC's rush is $25, isn't it? But yeah, that's clearly not the norm anymore.

In general (I know no one can say about Beautiful), how does rush work on two-show days? Does the box office sell rush for both shows at the same time, in the morning, when the box office opens? Or does it vary?
#16BEAUTIFUL rush?
Posted: 11/19/13 at 2:58pmI think it depends on the show.

Posted: 11/19/13 at 3:01pmI've never encountered a rush that didn't sell both shows when the box office opened. I think that's pretty standard.

There are actually many shows that sell rush tickets "two hours before curtain" rather than both matinee and evening at the same time. I agree that selling both shows when the box office opens is most often the case, but I have encountered quite a few with the "two hours before" policy.
#19BEAUTIFUL rush?
Posted: 11/19/13 at 3:43pmI guess I'll find out! Thanks for the advice. I'll report back.

I hate this price as much as everyone, but until we all stop paying it, they will keep raising it.
And from everything I read, they think this is going to be a pretty big hit.
#21BEAUTIFUL rush?
Posted: 11/19/13 at 8:37pmI would think that since it says they're available "day-of," they'll be selling both shows when the box office opens on a two-show day.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Posted: 11/20/13 at 1:13pmWhat's so funny (to me) about our outrage at the $40 price, myself included, is that it's only because it hits the $40 threshold! I had no problem paying $37 for a countless number of shows, but going into the 4's makes the price appear much steeper!

Posted: 11/22/13 at 12:53pmSomeone posted on the other board that his (or her) rush seat was in the rear orchestra.
#27BEAUTIFUL rush?
Posted: 11/22/13 at 12:53pmAll over the place, I think. A friend rushed yesterday. I wonder if they had more tickets leftover than people in line, because although it was pretty full last night, there were pockets here and there.
