Barksdale Rush Tickets

Barksdale Theatre has a great idea here, offering up discounted tickets an hour and a half before to fifteen minutes to curtain. On the one hand, they are providing an excellent service to the greater Richmond community; discounted tickets are always a plus to those on a budget. On the other hand, they are also providing themselves with the opportunity to fill more seats and potentially win more permanent theatre patrons.


Win/win for all!


Info on their RUSH tickets from their press release:


*** $15 RUSH tickets available for all Barksdale Theatre shows! ***

In an on-going effort to connect with the entire community, Barksdale Theatre is announcing a new RUSH Ticket program at both locations – the Signature Series at Willow Lawn in Richmond and the Country Playhouse season at Hanover Tavern.

Tickets to any Barksdale Theatre performance can now be purchased 90 – 15 minutes prior to the show, IF there are any remaining seats available for that production. RUSH tickets are $15 each, and can be purchased by calling Barksdale’s main Box Office at (804)282-2620 or, if preferred for Hanover Tavern shows, the Hanover Tavern Box Office at (804)537-5071. RUSH tickets will also be sold at the physical location of each Box Office – at Willow Lawn and at Hanover Tavern – beginning 90 minutes prior to and ending 15 minutes before each curtain time. RUSH tickets will be sold on a first come-first served basis, are non-refundable, non-exchangeable, and not valid with any other offer.

“The RUSH Ticket program makes great professional theatre available for everyone in the community,” says Barksdale Theatre Artistic Director Bruce Miller . “That’s our ultimate goal.”
