Location: These were orchestra, but with a cancellation line, these can be totally random. They do often also sell unclaimed digital lottery seats, but at regular prices (our account said $199.)

The Color Purple

Policy: General rush, $35, available when the box office opens.

Information submitted: 10 entries, all from summer 2016.

Experience: First people are generally in line about four hours before the box office opens. Usually, there are about ten-twenty by the point you hit three hours prior to the box office opening. Often, the box office will sell “secondary rush” tickets in rear orchestra for $59 if you don’t get rush seats. It is unclear if these will be sold throughout the day or only to those in the rush line. House left box is considered the best view, per someone in the box office. It seems to generally have about fifty people in line when the box office opens.

Location: Box seats. See above re: “secondary rush”.

The Humans

Policy: General rush, $30, available when the box office opens. Show also offers a digital lottery. Note: The official website doesn’t list anything other than the digital lottery, so this is based in anecdotal evidence.

Information submitted: 3 entries, from summer 2016 (two from August/September 2016).

Experience: Often no line, but sometimes a handful of people when the box office opens. It appears to be very much subject to availability. Sometimes, however, one can get tickets after the box office opens. The last people who received tickets on one Sunday arrived thirty minutes before the box office opened.

Location: Front row, partial view; sometimes also mezzanine partial view.

Waitress

Policy: Standing Room, $32, sold only when the house is totally sold out.

Information submitted: 4 entries, from summer 2016

Experience: This is not one that will be consistent day to day. SRO tickets aren’t sold until the house is totally sold out, and often still won’t be sold until the afternoon at some point. By what accounts we have, this seems to be quite random.

Location: Rear orchestra.
