Great Comet Rush

[MalikOfDarkness]

Hey guys, I'm sure you all heard the news about the show closing. Unfortunately, I was planning to see it during Thanksgiving break since I don't live near New York and I wouldn't be on the East Coast until August for school. Problem is I will be in MA for school and the only time I can probably get there is September 3rd, the closing date. I was planning to rush, but I don't know if there usually are rush tickets left for a closing date and I was wondering since you guys have more experience with this, if you think I would be able to get tickets for that date. I don't want to take the four hour trip and miss the show, so what do you think? If money wasn't an object, I would guarantee myself a seat and buy one online, but you know how it is...

Any advice is appreciated!

I'm in largely the same place as MalikOfDarkness (I'm even coming from MA!). I want to rush the final performance, a 3pm matinee, meaning the box office opens at 12. Does anyone know what time I'll need to get there to be first in line, it being the final performance and all? With it being a matinee and the box office not opening until later, I was thinking maybe somewhere from 5-6? I don't know though, shows closing is something I've never dealt with before so I have no idea how many people will be looking to rush.

Also, does anyone know if they're giving stage seats out at rush? Some places I've heard that they reserve two stage seats for rush, but I've heard many things that go against that. Further, does anyone know if the quantity and/or quality of rush tickets will change because it's the final show (i.e. if I am first in line, will I be able to get those two onstage seats )?

Rushing for closing day is extremely dangerous. I would not risk it at all if that's your only chance to see the show. Go buy a $39 mezzanine seat.

As far as stage seats go, yes there is one table included in rush. It's the far house left one right by the bar. I rushed and sat there and it was extremely obstructed and probably my least favorite seat I've had for the show

First time I went I sat on stage (Pierre's Salom).  Second time I sat rear mezz.  I realized that by sitting on stage I missed 75% of the show.  There's a lot going on in the mezz too.  Don't risk it, buy a mezz seat.

Oh, well, looks like it's sold out.

I would like to explain my rush experience. I happened to rush yesterday and arrived around 4:30 am, we were 8 and 9 in line (bc it was a Wednesday we were 6 and 7). We rushed for the 8'o clock show and happened to get far left front row and far right front row. Both seats were obstructed but fun nonetheless. I would recommend getting out as early as possible. The people in front of us got seats onstage for the same showtime. I hope you guys happen to get seats before it closes!!
