Explaining our rush line system

Q: I tried to buy tickets and got a message that said “rush line only.” What does that mean?

A: It means the allotment of advance tickets is sold out.  But you still may be able to gain entrance at the venue on the day of the show by waiting in the rush line.

Q: How will that work?

A: Advance ticket holders will be admitted first. Their entry will begin about 30 minutes before showtime. Next up: The rush line.

Q: What is a rush line?

A: After ticket holders have entered the theater, festival staff will determine how many open seats are remaining. Then rush line distribution will begin.

We expect some rush line tickets to be available. But admission is not guaranteed.

So if you tried to reserve tickets in advance and got a “rush line only” message, you still have a shot of getting in the venue.

The rush line tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, so we suggest arriving an hour early to get in the rush line.
