I don't know about getting there, but my friend walked up to the window AT 10 this morning, without waiting in the line after about 20 tickets had been sold and she got a ticket for tonight's show.
But that tide might turn after the show opens, so I'd recommend rushing during previews.
I got there at 9 this morning and was 10th in line. I probably could've gotten there later, as most people were getting matinee tickets and I wanted evening. I'm sure if you walked up there right now, you'd be able to get seats.
My ticket is in the middle of row K in the Mezz.
"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."
Yeah, I'm the friend AASJB mentioned and would not say you need to get there before 10. At the show last night, there was a lot of empty seats in the mezz. In fact, half of the right mezz was empty.
Anyone know if they are picky about your id? I know some places get all upity when the ids don't have a year listed on them. I don't wanna schlep all the way in to find it won't be accepted.
Yep, it's college IDs only now. I waited in line for an hour this past Wednesday just to be denied at the ticket window for having only a high school ID. I ended up going to the tkts booth and got row G orchestra (and my god, it was worth every extra penny— my first exposure to the show, and I loved it!).
I just wished I hadn't wasted my time that morning. And I wasn't the only student unaware, plenty others were turned away the same.
The house did look mostly full though, only the extreme extreme sides wre empty.

You could also buy discounted tix at the box office. I went this past Tuesday and verbally told them I had the B'waybox discount. Got tix for the next day's matinee, row K.
I was in the process of bringing the code up on my phone, but he never asked to see it.
(I'm fairly certain that the discount is the same as what you can get at TKTS, and no additional waiting.)
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
Where do you line up for rush? I thought the box office moved between Come Fly Away and Wonderland, but I'm not entirely sure as I missed Wonderland.

dramamama, the tkts seats are about $18 cheaper ($70.50 for orchestra as opposed to $89 wih the broadwaybox discount). It's still a good deal though, cause you're certain of your seats and can get em in advance.

I got there at 9, and after a half hour there were only about 4 others in line behind us, so 9:30 should be a pretty safe bet.

I stopped by some evening last week and the very amiable man at the box office let me know that generally, as of late, rush tickets sell out within the first hour of opening on one-show days, and within two hours on two-show days. It obviously couldn't hurt to get there early, but consider those bounds when you are planning to rush.
