Then how would Ticketmaster / Telecharge make money?

The third and fourth people came in a pair and arrived at around 7:45. Then the line was quiet until about 8:30, when the fifth and sixth people arrived. The line steadily grew after that.
The three tickets we got were all orchestra: two of which were I9 and I11, and the other was I10. It was a fantastic view

You can try looking up pictures of the set to see if the sides would be any issue but it really is a very small theater that shouldn't obstruct unless there's a set piece there."
I haven't done the line yet but I doubt it's the same as Avenue Q as this rush is of the 2-hours before curtain variety.

The person at the box office said the seat they were offering to me IS a full view seat and I had a perfect view of everything up close. It was totally worth a 2-3 hour wait. The person at the box office said rush seats tend to be close to the stage."
what time did you arrive in line that Morning to rush?&q

18 or 19. Im not sure how many tickets were sold, I was first and left pretty much right after I got mine. Ill ask around before the show starts maybe and try to see how many they sold."
Did the box office give you and the rest of the line any prior heads-up about whether or not SRO would in fact be given out at 5PM or were you in the dark until that time?<

Why not arrive b4 9:30?"
I wish the reason was better than she doesn’t want to, but alas. I’ll unfortunately be stuck at work, so I’m just relying on her. Has anyone done a weekday rush recently? Any updates?"

VotePeron said: "Do not count on getting a ticket a second past 10am - the box office is extremely rude, and pandered to me about how "rush goes on sale at 10am, the line starts very early, and there are a limited amount of tickets."
I tried rushing a few times -
1) Arrived at 6pm with over 300 seats available, denied a rush seat. 2) Arrived at 8am with over 200 seats available, they only sold 12 rush tickets (i didn't get one) <
GlenCoco said: "How has July 4th been for ticket availability and rush avaiblility. I have no idea since the fact that most people watch fireworks and have plans is offset by not very many musicals being offered."
There's only ONE general rush line on 7/4 and there's no guarantee that they will even have any tickets available that day as that particular box office sometimes has no rush availability during holidays ... ask them in person in advance.
Fredd3 said: "Anyone have any experience with the NYC cancellation line on holiday weekends? thinking about doing it this Friday 7/5/19 and i have a few concerns:
Do you think the line will be longer than usual given the holiday weekend? DEFINITELY
Could there be fewer tickets available than usual due to more VIPs attending? POSSIBLY
Would there be less of a chance seeing the lead actor as Hamilton and getting the understudy?" NO CLUE
JuneJune said: "I'm there now (Saturday 6/29). Got here a minute ago at 8:13, and there are at least 15 people ahead of me. I looked at tickets yesterday and unlike before the closing announcement, the show is sold really well for today, so I'm not sure how many rush tickets there'll be =/ I'm considering jumping ship for Beetlejuice
EDIT: Third-ish person in line told me she got here at 6:30"
