Has anyone rushed MACBETH at the Armory or seen the line? Any recommendation as to what time one should start lining up? They go on sale at 4pm. Thank you!

Yesterday morning there were about 17 people in line by 11am. The line might have been a little light due to the rain and the fact that it was opening night. Some people have said there are about 30 tickets. Also note that the tickets now go on sale at 12:30pm for evening shows. Tickets are $21 each, cash or credit.

I'm going to try and rush on Sunday, will definitely report back. Planning on arriving around 10am for the 11am sale time.

Thank you so much guys! This is VERY helpful. I thought the evening shows went on sale at 4, so glad to hear that. Sounds like arriving 2-3 hours early is what I'll have to do. That's not so bad. And it might make more sense to even do it on a Tuesday! I'm assuming weekdays are at 12:30 too?

Thanks again!!!

It said 4pm for evening shows on the Armory site before but now it's been updated. I wouldn't have thought to check again but the box office told me of the change when I went to ask about opening night rush.

My friend and I did the rush for yesterday's (Sunday) matinee. We got to the theater at 6:45am and there were already 16 people in line. By 9am, the line was wrapped around the block. I'm not sure how many tickets were given out, but I can confirm at least 20. I felt so bad for the people arriving at 8am only to find a line of at least 30-40 people.

Rushed this yesterday. Got in line at 9:15 and was 32nd in line. At 12:30 they came and counted the first 30 and told everyone else to wait a few minutes because they may have more tickets. They only ended up having 5 more. The seats were all row R on the South side from what I saw.

I tried this finally today, getting there around 6 am, and was first in line, yay! :) No idea how many behind me got tix, though....the nice thing was, when it started to rain a bit, the Armory folks let us all move the line inside for a while (but then they kicked us back out when the rain stopped, doh. )

They're not the best but it's $21 compared to upwards of $900 which tickets are going for on StubHub.
