Did they give you an option for standing room or partial view?

Technically, it's a band, not an orchestra.  Recent Experience with Come From Away Rush ??

Of course- I wouldn't know since I couldn't see them cheeky jk, you're right.

 

 

And I didn't ask about standing room since I was first offered a seat so close.

I got there this morning at 8:50 and was 6th in line. Surprising! The line got pretty long behind me too. I got D 13 and 15 which is partial view, so I'll lose stage right mostly, but I'm pretty sure most of the action is fairly center.

FYI, they've switched to an online lotto now.

https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/COME-FROM-AWAY-Launches-Digital-Lottery-20190528
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

They added the digital lottery for Tue-Thu performances, but they still offer general rush tickets.

It looks like the lottery is being offered in addition to, not as a substitute for the in person rush. More choices are always nice.

I went on a Saturday about 5 weeks ago. Got there 30-40 minutes before box office opened and was probably the 20th person in line. There were no seated tickets, but I intended on geting standing room and got center standing room.

Its the 2nd time I've done standing room and it really is a great view for the show. With no intermission and the show under 2 hours, it goes by incredibly quickly and at $32, you can't beat it, its still my favorite show on Broadway right now.

Has anyone rushed in the last two weeks or so? I'm rushing on Saturday and want to make sure I get a SRO ticket (prefer matinee, but will take either) and want to know how early I will have to get up.

I passed by the line on my way to rushing Betrayal on Wednesday (8/21) at around 7:40, and there were like four or five people on the line.

I imagine Saturdays are similar, if not slightly harder?

I went on Wednesday, August 21st.

- At 8:52am I was the 17th person in line.
- At 9:45am there were a total of 48 people in line.

I was able to get partial view tickets, but they were good seats. The only part that was blocked was the left side where the orchestra was.

Are lottery seat locations different than rush seat locations?

I rushed this past Saturday. I got there at 8am, which was definitely too early as I wanted SRO if they only offered partial view seats. I was the third person. I got SRO 101 which was right next to a pillar, so my view would have been better if I had been later. Still a great view and deal for $30!

Someone this 80-90 year old woman who had a cane was in SRO. The ushers were a bit stumped on what to do since it was sold out so they had no seat to offer her. A very kind audience member offered her her seat. I wonder how she got that ticket? Maybe some lottery is SRO? But with that price difference, I doubt it. Did someone at the box office give it to her, or does she know someone at the show? I was very confused.

Are the SRO tickets for the 2pm matinee or for the 8pm show?

Bumping here!

Hoping to rush on the 20th, a Friday.  My mom has a bad back and knees, does CFA offer rush seats as well as SRO?

First few people get seats, a bunch behind them in line get SRO.
