Rush Strategy for Proof
Rushing Proof is a more forgiving rush than most, though the reported arrivals still cluster in the morning. Across 13 community reports, the median reported arrival time is 9:00 AM. Arrive by 9:00 AM for a good chance at tickets. At box office open, reporters have counted a median of about 5 people already in line, so aim to beat that. Reported success rates are high (around 100% of confirmed reports walked away with tickets), which suggests supply has mostly kept up with the line. Wednesdays have drawn the most reports, so expect heavier competition then; midweek tends to be easier. Rush tickets run $39 at the Booth Theatre. Rush timing: box office open (10 am weekdays/sat, 12 pm sun). All figures are community-reported, not official box office policy.
