Yeah just to make sure everyone complaining about it is aware, you don't need to go through the Friday Rush landing page to get Friday Rush tickets. Just go through the normal What's On menus to the show or even specific performance you want and when you try to click in to buy a ticket a few minutes before 1pm it'll put you into the queue. This incidentally makes it quicker once you're through the queue to get to the one particular performance you wanted to see.
I think Friday Rush has become much more popular in recent years because it's just become more well known. Over time knowledge of that method of booking a ticket goes from very-online theatre goers to average theatre goers and eventually to occasional theatre goers. Whilst they hold certain tickets back from most performances for Friday Rush purposes, they also use it as a way of releasing house seats and/or a portion of the generally unsold seats for less popular shows. If you're trying to get tickets to something popular there will naturally be fewer of these seats and it will be more difficult to achieve.
Anyway, good luck today.

I got Friday Rush tickets for Dear England today. When 1 pm came I was number 252 in the queue. I only looked at two performances and nabbed tickets (back row of the circle) quickly as there were only 4 tickets on sale across the two days that I looked at.

Looking at their website it says nex Friday's tickets are going on sale at 4pm instead of 1pm. I wonder if this a permanent change and if so it will make it a lot easier for me but then I am sure it will be the same for lots of other people which is a blessing and a curse.

Wonder why the NT doesn't email those on their list to announce significant changes like this? Although I'm no longer a member, they regularly email me to nudge me to (re)join, which I won't, but info like this is exactly what I do want and need to know.

Are we expecting Friday Rush for The Effect to be difficult? Seems decently well sold.
