For those of you who have seen RENT on Broadway, I'm curious if anyone knows how bad the rear mezzanine seats are. I'm talking like, 2nd to last row. Will I be able to see anything?? Just wondering because I really want to see it, but I can't afford to spend $100 for tickets.

I went to a sunday matinee and paid 60 dollars for 7th row seats, left orchestra. It was amazing. If you haven't bought your tickets yet, that'd be a great location.

[NikkiFM94]

wow how'd you get orchestra seats for 60 bucks? I've been searching on ticketmaster and they're $100.

The last time I saw it on Broadway I got tickets at the TKTS booth. Great seats and a low price. Rent is long past it's "selling out every show" days, so I imagine TKTS would always be a safe bet.

Oh you can get wonderful tickets at TKTS.

We got right, orchestra, 4th row for $65 there.

TKTS is the best for Rent tickets. Last time we did it, we got the very first row in the mezzanine for $65 and the seats were awesome. Even so, if you do decide to get your tickets in advance through Ticketmaster, the Nederlander is a pretty small theater so I don't rear mezzanine would be all that bad.

It sounds like a good idea, but I just don't know how busy it will be. I'm planning on going this weekend, which is the start of winter break for most schools. What time would I have to start waiting in line to guarantee I get something?

If you get to the Boards early, you'll surely get something. Also, the weather in NY is TERRIBLE this week- cold, snowy, icy and rotten- so not many people will want to stand outside waiting for tickets. Rent is almost always on, though. You'll definitely get something. The tickets will be cheaper and be better seats.
