Get Student Rush or Standing Room Only Tickets from Box Office
Theatres sell unsold tickets at a discount on the day of the performance, even at the last minute. Some rush tickets are only for students. Some shows wait until a half-hour or an hour before show time. Standing Room Only (SRO) tickets are trickier to get because they are only available if the show is sold out. Shows that sell out often include Hairspray, Mamma Mia, The Lion King, and The Producers. If possible, call theatre to find out when to show up.
