Thank you!  We live in Vancouver, BC and we’re in NYC for 12 nights.  We had a number of shows planned during our trip to NYC but wanted more.  The only affordable way at that point was to supplement with some rush seats which is what I did.  In the 12 nights I rushed 5 shows.  It wasn&rsquo

They asked me how many I wanted and I said I was ready to buy two or three tickets. They had three tickets right next to each other in the row B. They didn't have four. They had three. They told me I needed an extra person to buy three tickets, so I went outside and grabbed my daughter. Done.

When getting in the line at 5 AM, I was not aware

I just rushed this morning.  Man at the front wanted 5 seats for the evening show.  He switched on and off with his son, and at 9:40pm his daughter came and joined them.  Total BS.

Then the next 4 in front of me wanted 2 each for the matinee, leaving me the final 2 matinee seats.  It was cold and snowing lightly.  I arrived at roughly 7:40.  They let us in the box office area at 9:50, and tickets started at 10 on the nose.  There were many more people

I rushed Chicago today.  Started at Anastasia but was obvious I would not get any rush seats, so bounced and went to Chicago.  8:35am arrival and I was the first in line.  At 8:45 a lady came out to say it would be standing room only today.  She let us into the box office area at about 8:55 which was really nice of her as it was bitterly cold (roughly 7 degrees f with the wind chill).  By then there were 3 of us in line, and many more followed shortly after.

I did the cancellation line yesterday.  Got there at 7am on a 2 show Wednesday.  There were 5 professional line sitters there, plus one guy ahead of me.  The pros were waiting for 1 ticket each for a family of 5, and the one guy ahead of me needed 3 (his daughter came along a bit later to get the 3rd ticket.  Kind of crappy for those behind but not worth getting in a fight for.)

NYC is really cold right now, and yesterday was no exception.  Really cold.

I won OOTI a few days ago.  $49 for a standing ticket.  Odds were pretty good given the time of year!  They did 20 standing tickets person.

 

The lady doing the draw was lovely, and at the time we asked about this week, and she said, "Yes, I heard there was no lottery, but no one told me I had the week off, I'm going to check!"  So I presume they changed their mind!

Amazingly wonderful show!  The theatre is so tiny and it runs 9

Rushed today (Christmas Day.) 9th in line at 9:15.  At 10:00 someone came out and told us the box office would not be open until noon.  It was gold and every single person left.  I came back at 11:15 and was 10th in line.  At 11 they let us all in, and I got 2 row D side mezz seats for $40 each.  It was a great deal as the 2 next to us were on Ticketmaster for $199 each!

There were lots of seats still available on TM so I wonder how many rush seats they ended u

Hey does anyone want 2 super prime centre orchestra seats for tomorrow's matinee?  I was looking at seats and while I was searching a pair of the top price seats popped up for $202 each- normally the price of the restricted view.  

As much as I'd love to go I live no where near SF and just can't make it down.

They're in my basket through the SHN website for the next 17 mins but could drop them at a coordinated time so someone else could pick them u
