Rush/Lottery tickets

Hello! I'll be heading to London at the end of march and had a couple questions. I've been keeping my eye on the Today Tix app and noticed they have many rush ticket options. What's the likelihood of me actually getting these rush tickets? I suppose it depends on the popularity? As of now, the ones I'd be interested in are The Ferryman, Julius Caesar, Girl From The North Country, and Mary Stuart. 

Also, are there any other options for cheap tickets? For example, many theaters in New York do an in-person rush the day of the show when the box office opens. Is this a thing in London? Thanks all!

If you're ready and poised, you tend to have a good shot at getting the rush tickets on the TodayTix app. Also, I sometimes find that if you check back around 10:30 am, some will have opened up even if there aren't any left immediately after they're released at 10 am. 

Yes! A lot of theatres do dayseats (the British term for rushing) and most of them list their policy on their website. There are also some theatres like the Donmar Warehouse and the Queen's Theatre that have standing tickets available for very affordable prices that you can buy at the box office the morning of if you're willing to stand for the whole show. 

Hope this helps! x
