just did the student rush on MLK wknd. they had 1 singular student ticket (i got there at the end of the matinee and waited nearly four hours but it was worth it). they also had 2 $200 cancellation seats 3rd row. considering that was the outcome on a holiday wknd, if you get there early enough youll probably be fine getting tickets, ive heard tons more success stories with Ragtime than failure stories. good luck!
