In order to nurture a younger generation of theatergoers, many Broadway shows offer affordable tickets to students. Known as Student Rush tickets, these discount tickets are usually $20-$30 each. A student ID is always required to purchase Student Rush tickets, but many Broadway shows allow you to buy two tickets with just one ID. Some theater box offices require that Student Rush tickets be paid for in cash, so arrive prepared.
Like Anyone Rush, the policies for Student Rush tickets vary among Broadway shows. Usually the box offices begin distributing these student tickets when they first open in the morning, but some shows don't start selling them until a few hours before the performance begins. Some Broadway shows set aside seats specially designated to be sold to students, but often Student Rush tickets are subject to availability.
For Broadway shows that aren't selling very well, or for shows that are aimed at an older audience (particularly plays), discount student tickets are usually fairly easy to get - you may be able to just walk up to the box office whenever you please and buy them. But, largely thanks to the existence of Student Rush, some shows gain a strong youth following, making the competition for these tickets fierce. It's not unusual for there to be a long line of students waiting outside the most popular Broadway shows, long before the theater box office has even opened.
