RUSH

With its roots from Student RUSH tickets, Anyone RUSH tickets were created In an effort to make Broadway tickets more affordable, build word-of-mouth for a show and to create and reward loyal fan bases - many Broadway shows offer discount "Rush" tickets at cheap prices that are also great seats. These discount Broadway tickets are available to anyone, just as long as you arrive early enough with cash in hand at the Broadway theatre. Fans can show up at the theater box office first thing in the morning and buy Broadway show tickets (often the front row for just $20). Rush tickets became a true phenomenon with the musical Rent, where "Rent-heads" would actually line up and sleep overnight on the pavement so that they could get their rush tickets!

To keep people from camping out on the New York City streets, Rent and a few other Broadway shows (particularly those popular with younger audiences) instituted lottery systems for distributing their Anyone Rush tickets. The rules for the lottery (ticket price, time of lottery drawing, etc.) vary for the different Broadway shows, and we detail those rules in our Broadway Discount Tickets Guide.

Some Broadway shows distribute Anyone Rush tickets the old-fashioned way, too, by asking ticket buyers to arrive when the theater box office opens in the morning, or at a specific time during the day (we also detail these policies in our Broadway Discount Tickets Guide). Anyone Rush tickets are usually about $20-$25 each, but occasionally the tickets are up in the $30-$40 range. Remember that you are usually expected to pay for these discount tickets with cash, and often (especially with the lottery) a photo ID is required, as they limit the total amount of discount tickets you can buy on any one day.
