Met abandons online drawing for rush tickets

Posted by:	bwayjoey 04:29 pm EST 11/20/14

From an email I just received: We would like to inform you that the Rush Ticket program is changing for the 2014–15 season. In response to audience feedback, we are no longer offering tickets via online drawing. Instead, they will be sold on our website on a first-come, first-served basis beginning Friday, November 21 at noon. Tickets will go on sale for performances Monday–Friday at noon, matinees four hours before curtain, and Saturday evenings at 2pm. For complete rules and information, visit metopera.org/rush. Thank you for participating in the Rush Ticket program. We hope to see you at the Met soon! Sincerely, Metropolitan Opera

They say it's based on audience feedback- but from my limited experience with it, I liked the lottery. You aren't tied to a computer at a specific time.
