JERSEY BOYS rush tickets for only 20$!

[bluechickadee]

On weekdays, $20 rush seats are now available at the Toronto Centre for the Arts for the musical JERSEY BOYS. It's a biographical stage musical about the lives of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. I have seen it a few times already and it is phenomenal! The seats are based on availability, but if you go on a slower night like a Tuesday or Wednesday, you might be able to score seats in the middle of the Orchestra level.

Everyone I've talked to who has seen the show loves it too and said it was worth paying the regular price (between about $60-$175) to see it, so $20 is a steal. Just show up at the box office early the same day as the performance. Come even earlier if you're driving because it's hard to find parking in the Yonge-Sheppard area.

(EDIT: I'm just going to paste my other post here so people can read it right off the bat.):

Show up at the box office 2 hours before the performance you plan to attend. I don't think you can get the $20 seats before then. It's only valid for the performances of: Tuesday@8pm, Wednesday@2pm and 8pm, and Thursday@8pm. The theatre is packed on the weekends so they don't offer the rush seats Fri, Sat, Sun.

There are a lot of good restaurants, fast food, sushi, and shopping on Yonge st. next to the theatre, so it makes for a nice evening out to buy the tickets at 6pm, grab something to eat, then show up at the theatre 7:45pm for the show.

The deal is open-ended and they haven't announced any kind of deadline yet. So far the show has only been extended through April but I wouldn't be surprised if the run keeps getting extended.

You mention we should show up early...

Does that mean like 10:00 in the morning? Or could I come 3 hours before the show at 5:00 in the afternoon?

Thanks.

[djstiles]

thanks op! Hopefully I can get some seats this week or next!

[nutttbar]

Ditto on the time question, and is there a limit on the number of tickets you can buy at that price?

When will this deal finish? Also, do we just go to the box office on the same day?

[xeryusdvirus]

WOW! That's a great deal. Gotta check it out.

Thanks OP!

My guess is that it'll be same day starting at either 9am or 10am (depending on when the box office open) - if what they're doing is similar to what most productions do with their rush tickets. Should call or check online to verify though.

Thanks. Looks like a great deal.

[Woah!]

Oh sorry,I thought you said Jerky Boys.

Saw the show tonight in Rush seats. They don't offer the first 20 rows or so in the middle section of seats and the deal is $20 CASH ONLY including taxes (no service charge) with no exceptions. Having said that, we were in the 7th row off to the side and the seats were pretty good. It would have been better to be further back in the theatre but for this price I can't complain as we had a wonderful time. Tickets went on sale promptly at 6 pm. I was 5th in line at 5:35 and by 6 there were about 30 people in line behind me. I would recommend getting there early as the lineups will probably get longer as word gets around (RFD effect?).

i'm assuming this is first come first serve basis, so how many rush tickets do they offer? i work at the Elgin Theatre in the summer time, and depending on the musical, they only offer a limited amount.

Yes, first come first served. As I mentioned earlier, the first X (maybe 18-20) rows down the centre of the theatre are designated as "Premium" seating. The remainder (beyond the first 20 or so rows and down the sides) are available for rush seating until they run out.

Also, a correction on the OP's posting. I just called the theatre and they are available for Tuesday thru Thursday evening performances as well as Wednesday matinees qualify for the $20 rush seats. They go on sale 2 hours prior to the performance (either 6 pm or noon).

Just wondering when was this $20 started?

I believe this was the first week but I could be mistaken.
