When to arrive
Arrive by 8:30 AM and you have about a 100% chance of scoring rush tickets.
8:30 AM is 90+ minutes before the box office opens (10 AM most days, noon on Sundays). That number comes from 6 recent reports from people in this line; the odds could be as low as 67%. Reports are still thin here, so treat it as a best guess and lean earlier.
Arrival vs chance
| Arrive by | Before box office opens | Chance of tickets | Likely range | Reports |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8:30 AM | 90+ min before open | 100% | 67 to 100% | 6 |
| 9:00 AM | 60+ min before open | 100% | 67 to 100% | 7 |
| 9:15 AM | 45+ min before open | 100% | 67 to 100% | 7 |
| 9:30 AM | 30+ min before open | 100% | 67 to 100% | 8 |
| 9:45 AM | 15+ min before open | 100% | 67 to 100% | 9 |
| 10:00 AM | at box office open | 100% | 67 to 100% | 9 |
Each row counts everyone who arrived at least that early, so earlier rows always have equal or better odds.
