Offering student and senior Rush Tickets is a way for LA Opera to provide inexpensive tickets just before curtain to people on a limited income. Whenever a performance looks like it's not going to sell out, the Company releases a limited number of seats throughout the house for sale at a discounted price. The number of tickets released varies based on availability for that Performance.
The decision whether or not to sell rush tickets is made the morning of the performance or, in the case of weekend performances, on the Friday prior. Students and Seniors interested in rush tickets can call the Box Office at 213.972.8001 in advance to find out whether or not rush tickets will be on sale.
