I haven't, but I was rushing across the street from Les Mis on Saturday and by the time the box office opened there was at least 25 people. About 10 were there by 9am.
Bumping this back up. I'm planning on seeing Les Mis last week in September and was seeing if anyone had rushed recently? If so, what did the lines look like ie what time should I get there. I was thinking about getting there around 8 ish. Also I was wondering what the rush tickets were like... decent seats or mostly partial view? I'm sure with Alfie starting in September there will be more of a rush for rush tickets (pun intended)
My friend and I went after losing the Hamilton Lotto like around 5:30/6. And got two seats. We were in the rear mezz to the right. Still a great seat, but we slid over when the lights went down. and then moved down to the center mezz after intermission. So turned out to be great seats.
Has anyone tried this recently? I want to go this Sunday. Earlier in the summer the line wasn't crazy (5-10people by 9am) but I'm not sure if it's bad now that it is closing soon.
Also looking for any updates on this. Some family wants to try for Wednesday, but don't know how crazy its been since we're approaching the final performances.
Rushed across the street on Saturday, 8/20. At 6:45 there were 5-6 people there, and about 30 by 9 am. No idea how many they sell or where they are, though.
I rushed the show last Thursday and was that person who gets there waaaay too early (before 6am), which made me first in line. The next people didn't get there till after 7am (maybe 7:15-7:30?), and after them the line formed at a pretty steady pace. I couldn't say how many people were there by the time the box office opened, but it was a lot (30 seems about right). I will say that I'm not sure how many of them actually got tickets, because even as first in line I only got the two seats on the very end of row J, so I'm not sure what else they even had available for rush tickets. I do know the group right behind me, who were getting four tickets total, ended up in one of the boxes.
