Most non-lottery student and/or general rush offers specify "subject to availability".

Typically, only the lottery shows guarantee a certain number of seats at the rush price.

My guess is that with the show selling well in recent weeks ($1M+ last week), the decision to sell rush is made more last-minute based on how that performance's sales have progressed during the day. That would explain why some people have been told "check back later" and when they do, they discover that the show is no longer (or isn't at all) making rush seats available for that particular performance.

I've had this happen to me on a few other shows in the past and this was the explanation I received, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's the case here as well. Would just be helpful if the box office staff could articulate that to the customers instead of being so mysterious or seemingly haphazard.

To update: I went to the box office at 6 pm last night and my husband and I were able to get two rush tickets in the rear mezz (last row, far right). And the view was fine. It is one ticket per student ID.
