Just back from an 11 show bumper trip and thought Id share some info on the rush tickets. All in all - 11 shows for $445!
Rush Reports! Thursday 21/3 King Kong - Row A Orchestra centre at 17:10.
Friday 22/3 Pretty Woman - Arrived 8:45 second in line. Got a lot busier from 9am, with around 30 in line when the box office opened. Row A Orchestra centre
Sunday 24/3 Mean Girls arrived I think just before 10, and was around 15th in line. Line had more than doubled in length when box office opened. Got back row ZZ of Orchestra for the evening show
Sunday 24/3 The Prom. After we had rushed Mean Girls we were able to get rush for The Prom. Side orchestra row J.
Monday 25/3 Avenue Q arrived midday. We were first for Avenue Q, people in front for Jersey Boys and Play that Goes Wrong. Front row centre orchestra. Line was at least 50 people when box office opened at 1pm, but I guess thats for a number of shows.
Tuesday 26/3 Be More Chill arrived at 8:15 ish and was 4th in line. Only another 4 when box office opened. Row E partial view
Wednesday 27/3. Hillary & Clinton 3rd in line at 09:58! Got row B centre orchestra for matinee.
Wednesday 27/3 Bands Visit I got a rush for my friend after Id rushed Hillary and got full view side orchestra. Was about 10 in front of me when I got there at 10:10 so fairly busy.
Lottos: Lost Oklahoma but got offered $59 Seats (great seats in the third row) for the Saturday matinee. This was my favourite show of the trip.
The Cher Show: Weds 27/3 won on my fourth attempt! Third row Mezz seat. The 8 rows behind me were completely empty! Shame to see the theatre so quiet.
Also saw: Superhero on the $30 under 30 tickets. Phantom: Front row side orchestra for $45 on the day. Not rush as such but I got this last time too.
great job wow!!!! I'm curious whether something like this is possible in the summer during the peak season (simply wondering because I have 2 friends visiting me in June.)
I watched the Cher Show a few times now and ever since January the wings of the mid-mezz section is completely empty (though orch, front mezz, and rear mezz are quite full.)
It's definitely possible, I've done this sort of trip many times now and have done it in May and June, although the rush lines did seem a lot quieter than trips I've done in the past, and New York in general was a lot quieter than I'm used to.
I feel though that this time there wasn't really any hot hot tickets, and so the rush lines were quieter.
I know what you mean. I rushed for avenue q last week and waited for only 5 minutes. Since it was broadwaycares, for $20 I finally got a pic with Rod!!! Now I’m curious when u saw avenue q, do you remember which puppet they used for the fundraiser after the show?
