How do TodayTix Rush tickets work?
You may have heard the term 'Rush ticket' before, but what does it actually mean? And how do you get one?
It's safe to say the West End isn't always the most accessible place; with theatre prices staying high and the most popular shows booked up months in advance, sometimes you have to look at other methods to get yourself a seat in the audience.
So, when it comes to getting cheap theatre tickets or last-minute ones, we'd recommend taking a look at Rush tickets.
These same-day seats are a great way of seeing that musical you've been hearing all about, and at a lower cost. From legacy shows like Hamilton to new additions like The Devil Wears Prada, you can get Rush tickets for all sorts of West End offerings.
In this piece, we're looking specifically at the Rush tickets available at TodayTix. Although there are other ticketing sites that offer last-minute bookings, TodayTix covers a lot of West End shows , and has a very easy method for bagging last-minute seats.
It's worth noting that just because there are Rush tickets available doesn't mean that there aren't better prices out there. Before you buy we'd always suggest checking out the price of a show on each West End ticketing site, for example Ticketmaster, London Theatre Direct, Headout, LOVEtheatre, and ATG Tickets, as some may have lower booking fees than TodayTix.
If you want a bit more advice on this, take a look at how to get cheap theatre tickets. Otherwise, let's check out how Rush tickets work and how you can buy some.

How does a Rush ticket work?
Rush tickets are last-minute seats that you can buy for a theatre performance going on that evening.
The tickets go on sale at 10am each morning and are available on a first-come-first-serve basis – so you really have to be quick if you want to grab a seat.
The number on sale and where they are in the theatre is subject to the availability of that evening's performance. So, you won't be able to choose your seat and you can only buy up to two tickets.
Rush tickets are non-refundable, but they are often much lower in price than pre-booked seats.

How to get a Rush ticket on TodayTix
To get Rush tickets the first thing you need to do is download the TodayTix app. Then you'll need to select the show you want to see, find the red box that says 'Rush tickets' and select 'Unlock now'.
The app will then prompt you to share the show link via your social media – through Facebook, X, or Instagram stories – but, you can actually bypass this by clicking on 'Unlock without sharing' underneath.
Then, you can set up an alert that will go off each day at 10am if there are Rush tickets available. After that, it's up to you to click on the app fast enough and scoop up those tickets before someone else does!
