Something Rotten rush #1
Posted: 7/3/16 at 9:05pm

I'm hoping to see Something Rotten for the evening show on Saturday July 9. There will probably be 4 of us, maybe 6. Is there usually a good amount of rush tickets available? Should I line up early? Are the seats decent? Or would TKTS be better?

thanks!

I've rushed this show 3 times. I get there at 830am and have always been the first in line. The tickets are restricted view, which is the whole front row, usually about 20 tickets. They only allow 2 per person, so if you require 6, then 3 of you will have to queue up.

8:30 and the box office opens at 10? Is there usually a line up or would our chances still be good if we got there at 9:30? I'd be fine to line up that long but I'd have a hard time convincing anyone else in my group.

I got there after the Box Office opened and got a ticket. It's not always front row either as some of those can be lottery tickets. I was in the mezzanine in the 2nd row. You think 90 minutes is a long wait? Don't try rushing anything else.

Why not try having everyone in your group enter the lottery? We tried and, even though we didn't win, were able to purchase "lottery loser" tickets. Our seats in the mezzanine were great, full view of the stage.

sorry I've never rushed before except for Avenue Q so I didn't know if it was a usual thing to have to show up early.

Paciencia I'll do the lottery, great idea! I didn't know there was a lottery loser deal :)

I did rush two Saturdays ago and was in line by 8:45. Contrary to some of my previous experiences, almost everyone wanted the evening show so they didn't even split the line between matinee and evening when the box office opened. I was only able to get two singles in the mezz but the ushers seated us together. Other times, 8:30-8:45 has been enough time to get front row.

Last July 4th weekend, I was able to get a rush ticket at noon.
