I just had a check through rush for Mamma Mia, Tina and & Juliet and they all gave me an exact seat row and number like usual.

Cos I feel like this change must have come through with the most recent app update. For me &Juliet just says 1 stalls ticket with no other info as to row or seat number. So if you haven't updated it and can still see seats, I would suggest not updating so you can keep that feature for now. :-)

My todaytix account changed as I can't see my favourites but this morning it was still offering seats. I just want to know how to avoid that upgrade ☹

I have an iphone, so my settings are set to not auto-update, but I did update the app manually last night as it came up and didn't mention this pretty significant change. So for an iPhone, if you go into settings for the app store, you can switch off auto update. I don't know how it works on Android I'm afraid.

I have the new update. For some show it seems when you go through to pay it just says '1 x Stalls Ticket' and you have to click on the link to 'Important ticket info' directly above it, to see the exact seat. Eg. I just tried Mamma Mia and it gave me Stalls C5.

I just tried Mamma Mia and it gave me Stalls C5. I noticed that as well for some shows I tried, but I think it's only if there is actually important info about the seat, like it's at the end of a row next to wall or something. Not sure it's show specific, more seat specific? Because I just tried Mamma Mia and all the info I got is that it's a dress circle seat, no the 'important ticket info' bit wasn't there.

So presumably if there IS something restricted or dodgy about the seat it informs you before purchase.

Mine has now updated, yesterday it was as normal, and only shows stalls etc. Very frustrating change, I probably won't bother with rush now!

I updated to the latest version on Android (last update 6th Nov) and checked all rush tix still available and they all showed me the seat info as usual. Are others looking on ios? X

I just had a look at Prince of Egypt, and it is only telling me stalls tickets, with no button to click for further information.
I'd be interested to know if the confirmation email tells you the seats?
The only benefit of this I can think of is if they decide the seats later on in the day and give you the best available, rather than the system now where you have to go for what's available and then might regret it if something better comes along when they release more tickets later in the day.

I've just done a random check for 2 shows and both gave me a seat number.

I'm on iOS, my apps automatically update and Rush is no longer showing me seat info - it just goes straight to checkout. 😭

What a ridiculous change for them to have made. I have always found TodayTix incredibly unhelpful toward accessibility issues and this is a further step away from solving them. They will lose a lot of custom due to this. I am glad some theatres have started running their own online “rush” through their own websites in which you can choose the seat or you are provided the seat selection - hopefully more will go down this route.

I’ve just checked on the rush shows today and if it’s end of row or a restricted view seat the show the seat number it seems. That was for only for Tina and Mamma Mia.

Well, I don’t fall for it being a mistake for sure. Perhaps they’ve already had a slow sales day today with the Rush and are looking at reverting it back.

Definitely not an accident!
The fact rush tickets have been available all day for some very popular shows indicates that people aren't willing to buy without knowing what seat they're going to get.
It was a very poor commercial decision by TodayTix.
Saying you have a ticket in "the stalls" could mean you're near the front or you have horrible restricted view corner. It's just not on.
The fact the technology is terrible and can't support the number of people logging in at 10am is another issue. That could easily be solved. A quick fix would just be to stagger the times each different show goes on sale.

I bought two pairs of rush tickets for Prince Of Egypt on two different devices (Apple and Android) and managed to bag 4 consecutive seats in row C stalls, all of which showed on both devices prior to purchase with the latest version of the app running.

A quick fix would just be to stagger the times each different show goes on sale. I've stopped trying for rush tickets at 10am . The only time I got one then, I couldn't complete the purchase. I don't think many pairs of tickets for popular shows get added later in the day but single seats definitely do. Today there were circle and stalls tickets available for Tina every time I checked and I would have bought one if I had known and been happy with the location but no way will I buy blind.

Hope this means they’re onto it. “Hi Friends” Arghh This was not a technical error at all. I noticed & Juliet still had rush tickets available late afternoon and normally they’re gone by midday. Definitely think they saw a drop in sales. Hopefully they can “fix” it quickly.

When I looked yesterday Rush tickets were available for most shows. Definitely a commercial decision to revert! Why lie?!

Sounds like a screeching u-turn.
I messaged them directly to complain and they’ve responded saying ‘we hope to have things back to normal soon’.

Tickets still available as of 12.45pm for tonight’s Come From Away. I appreciate it’s a Tuesday but to be able to get a pair of stalls tickets this far past 10am is fairly unusual… chances are they’re good, but with no seat info beyond ‘stalls’ I won’t be chancing it!

If it helps, it's offering me Stalls N 4 for a single ticket, and dress circle E 4 & 5 for a pair.
