Rush Strategy for The Great Gatsby
Rushing The Great Gatsby is a more forgiving rush than most, though the reported arrivals still cluster in the morning. Across 14 community reports, the median reported arrival time is 9:14 AM. At box office open, reporters have counted a median of about 11 people already in line, so aim to beat that. Saturdays have drawn the most reports, so expect heavier competition then; midweek tends to be easier. Rush tickets run $40 at the Broadway Theatre. Rush timing: box office open (10 am weekdays/sat, 12 pm sun). $40 general in-person rush; $25 student rush also available with ID. All figures are community-reported, not official box office policy.

Gatsby was packed at 7:45am around the block. it’s JJ last day, so that’s why I’m guessing. Outsiders had about 25 at 8am and Chess had 5.

3rd in line for gatsby at 9:30 and around 15 people at 11:00
I went in December 2024 when Jeremy/Eva were still there a little before 7:30 and missed student rush by like 1 person but got regular rush just fine. I think you should be fine assuming there's less
You can join the lottery any time before it closes. It opens at midnight but I believe it closes at 10am. You'll have to double check Telecharge.
