I still find it fairly reliable - just checked now out of curiousity and was able to get Six, Anything Goes and Pretty Woman for tonight if I'd wanted them... I know a lot of it is luck but definitely keep checking throughout the day, all isn't lost if there's nothing at 10am.

Just been offered Q8 for AG tonight. Might be easier for the single theatre goer later on in the day.

What really amazes me is how quickly the seats are going. If you miss out on your first choice of show, everything is taken for the rest (the exception generally being the shows which only offer the seats at the back that were heavily discounted already). I know it's worth checking back at random times, but Rush definitely isn't as easy as it used to be. Agreed. There was a trick I used to be able to use on a previous version which was to change the clock on my phone so it was 1 minute fast, so even though their server would allow the tickets to be obtained at exactly 10am, the popup allowing me to click on the rush icon popped up when my phone said 10am. That way I was able to click on the ticket button exactly at 10am. Unfortunately that no longer works on the latest version. |

Looks like Jersey Boys has been added to the Rush ticket lineup.
I got row A (5th row) for Singin' in the Rain tonight.

On my advice my sister used it for the first time on Wednesday morning and bagged herself two tickets for Hairspray

Just wondering if anyone had got allocation for Les Mis Concert and Tina?
Do they have allocated Rush seats like some shows or they just unsold and if so what type of seats have you been offered?

I tried LM this morning, it was showing me pretty good seats in the Grand Circle, and availability was fine - still tickets by 10.15ish |

For LM, there tends to be availability all day, but do check the official site as well. The Grand Circle seats that appear at £25 are often the ones that are £23 on the official site (or were, before they were moved to Rush). The prices do vary a lot for LM though due to dynamic pricing.
For Tina, they also tend to have availability for a lot of the day. It's normally the second row or the rear stalls/dress circle. But providing you can manage without central Stalls these ones do tend to much cheaper than the official channels.

Was hoping that without the stunt casting of Les Mis that stall seats would appear :-( |

I've looked a lot for Les Mis, mostly out of nosiness. It usually seems to be from row F backwards of the dress circle, and then some in the upper. I've never seen stalls pop up.

Struggled to get anything this morning.
Back to the Future naturally gone in a flash, but even after nothing left for Pretty Woman and everything else showing gone as well.
As frustrating as they are, I wish it was a mini queue rather than whoever has the fastest iPhone.

I was trying for ‘Pretty Woman’ for a friend & I, weren’t successful so then I did get through for Les Mis, then said friend didn’t see text & thought if she’s not up for it I will take my partner, Sod’s law had my old card & lost them whilst updating my details!!!

Ok, sp obsessive checking pays off.
Incredibly I've just managed to get two rush tickets for Back to the Future tonight! Row L Dress Circle.

I got seat B19 through rush for Get Up Stand Up yesterday which is at the extreme end of row B but still only about 6 seats from the centre and a perfect view. Wasn't sure how much I'd enjoy the show as I'm not really a fan of reggae music but I had a great evening.
Tried for Tina today, but was only offered a seat in a poor side location. What surprised me looking at the theatre's own website was that it was the fourth seat in a block of six. Tonight's performance is only about 60% sold but no sign of any dynamic pricing here - nothing even half decent under £80.

Anyone noticed that when you select a rush ticket it doesn’t tell you the seat number anymore? Just the section, for example 1x Stalls Ticket. Anyone know why they made this change?

Booked tickets on Thursday for The Shark is Broken and they gave me the exact allocation. Maybe it depends on the show

I've always been given the seat number and wouldn't use rush if their system worked in any other way. Once for Hairspray I was first offered a seat in the upper circle costing something like £55, then about 20 minutes \later I got row B stalls which was originally £150.

I think this might be an update that they’re gradually rolling out. When I saw this thread the other day I tried the app and was still getting seats numbers. I’ve tried it today and now I’m just getting the generic seat section. This time last week I got a rush ticket for Back to the Future and trying it today just offered me the section without a seat number.
They won’t be getting me buying rush tickets anymore unless it’s for a show I really want to see.
