I checked in at the box office last Friday around 2:30pm and asked if they "had rush or SRO". The guy at the BO said "no, we don't have rush or anything" and then another person working there started to talk to him and he then said "actually, we do have SRO for tonight!". It was $40, view was great, the main screen is totally unobstructed by the overhang for anyone worried about that.
I was skeptical of standing for any play but this was a great View .and boys in the Band too. standing also lent itself to the studio audience aspect. the live filming reminded me of Fail-Safe and I was especially floored by how they used the entirety of the theater. The Supporting Cast must have improved because I thought everyone was flawless
I went to the box office yesterday (Friday) around 5:30pm and got SRO. I agree with the previous posters that it's a great view. It seems SRO tickets aren't difficult to get for this show currently since next to me there were three standing spots unoccupied.

So your slot was immediately behind the Orchestra seats?
Was there only standing in the Center? Left? Right? All of the above?
Right behind the orchestra seats. I was in the center, there looked to be spaces on the left and right as well. I'd say there are probably around 25-30 spots, but that # could certainly be off.
Sorry meant to reply sooner. Went 12/9 for the 3pm show. Showed up at 2pm on the dot (big line) and got Standing room. Had at least 3 other tickets I think. First spot on the right side, amazing view plus I could lean against a column the whole time. Great to be in the middle of all the action!
I tried to get standing room on 12/26 for the 2 PM show. I got to the theatre at 1:15 PM and the man at the box office said they didn't sell out yet, so there was no standing room. I was able to get a rush ticket to The Waverly Gallery instead, so I'm not sure if Network eventually sold out and started selling standing room or not.
I tried to go to the 7pm show on 12/21 - I work in the area so I checked at 1:30pm and 5:30pm and then eventually at 6:45pm was told that there would be no standing room sold that day.
They didn't have any SRO for either show on Wednesday, and I heard not for a few days. One lady was arguing with the box office about being told they would be available, but the show wasn't sold out. There were PV box seats on the Mezz level that I would try if I were to go again, maybe $69?
It is odd. On Wednesday afternoon I checked Telecharge before leaving work at 5pm and saw there were only 2 seats (both premium) left so I thought they might sell SRO. I was at the box office by 530 and the box office guy said no SRO yet and that they have a lot of seats still to sell. Not sure which seats though but Im guessing box seats? Either way I opted not to see it. I live in nyc and figure can go another day.
My experience was interesting with this box office. I went at 10:30 the BO attendant A said no we still have tickets so no SRO for either show. Went back around 11:45, same attendant, said no SRO still had tickets. Seemed like he forgot like he talked to me an hour ago but Im sure he gets the question a lot. I went back at 1 and that attendant A was helping a customer so I went to different window. They said there would unlikely be SRO for either show today. At this time attendant A and the other customer are now yelling about if they have a cancellation line that reduces premium prices to less then $200 which they dont. So my attendant was nice an offered me pv front mezz for $59 so I took that because Ive tried several times unsuccessfully.
Its sunday, 1/13 - there were no SR spots at 12:30pm when I went to the BO
I just came back now, approx 1:30 - the gentleman said hed have to check and gave me a spot. Three other people came in after me and were given SR as well...
I was there around the same time today and asked about partial view seats first. Was offered $59 for balc, $79 for mezz, or $40 standing. Went with balc and then regretted it realizing full view balc seats sell for $49-69. This was row B so it was a $10 savings from the usual $69 price for the first two rows. But then again the balc seats are already sold out for most dates anyway, so whatever.
It was the last seat on the right where the box blocks the view of half the main screen and all of foodwork. But the other screens picked up anything that was obscured. The right side is the side to be though with a full view of the control booth. But overall I was bored by the play so probably was better I didn't stand where I would have felt even more restless.
After seeing only two premium seats left on Telecharge, I went to the theater at 1:37 PM on Saturday, January 12 in the hopes of securing a SRO ticket for the evening show. The gentleman behind the counter said they were no SRO spots available for the evening show (he did not clarify if they had sold them already or if the show had not sold out yet), but they had ~four SRO available for the matinee show that was starting in 20 minutes.
After checking the board to confirm all actors were in, I purchased one for $40 on the spot! It was worth every penny -- the acting was incredible, and I encourage all to see, if possible!
