Silly question number 9783

I%26#39;m bringing my two kids (ages 7 and 9) to NYC. They%26#39;re students (albeit in Elementary school) ... do they %26#39;qualify%26#39; for student rush theater tickets?

I%26#39;m assuming the answer is no - that student tickets are designated for the college age, but just HAD to check!

That%26#39;s a great question, I just don%26#39;t know the answer! My guess is that they%26#39;d qualify if they have student ID. However, many shows offer rush tickets to anyone. Here%26#39;s the listing I use, from the playbill web site:

I think the problem is if they do qualify, you don%26#39;t , so you might not be able to sit together. Here%26#39;s a page with lots of discount ticket info inlcuding rush/student tickets

Thank you both.

So, my question may veer this direction.

For the shows that have general rush tickets available, I%26#39;m wondering if my kids could each put their names into %26#39;the hat%26#39; so to speak for tickets?

That would increase our chances of %26#39;winning the lottery%26#39; if it%26#39;s allowed. Instead of 2 adults putting their names into the hat, all 4 of us could put our names in, be present for the 30 min. wait, see if we can luck out or not? We don%26#39;t have to all sit together, 2 and 2 would be just perfect!

Most of the lotteries only allow you to buy 2 tickets. So what happens if only 1 of your names get picked. You don%26#39;t have 4 tickets, only 2. Here%26#39;s a page (maybe same as what Bett. gave you) with details on rush/student rush for each show

Yes, I realize we may not get picked at all, or only 2 of us would get in, or all 4 of us... that%26#39;s the chance we%26#39;d have to take. If only 2 got it, we could duke it out for them.

We have Wicked tickets I bought eons ago, planning on purchasing Hairspray shortly via discount on broadwaybox so just looking for %26#39;bonus%26#39; shows we might be able to get...

My kids are avid musical theatre fans and love acting in community theatre so thought this would also be a fun way to kill a half hour playing the %26#39;lottery%26#39;!!! :)

Bettina, Thanks for that link to Playbill, I just joined and hope to take advantage of the deals next year.
