Sorry for another one of these threads, but at least it's condensed!
Arcadia general rush/student rush: are the student tickets selling out before 2 hrs to curtain? have there been general rush tickets, and do I have to get there early to get them?
Mormon: if they don't sell SRO until and hour before curtain, are people really lining up at 7:30am? What is an appropriate time?
Jerusalem: how has rush been for this? Any hints on what time to get there?
Lombardi: I assume rush tickets are more available since it has been running for awhile, has anyone done this one recently?
THANKS!

Arcadia: Student Rush only. 1 per I.D. Cash only. (That said, I found a student on the street and had them buy one for me. The B.O. guy totally didn't care.)
Mormon: People have been queueing up as early as 3 pm. Just depends on the day.
Jerusalem: Weekends have been tough. Queue's start as early as 10 and they sell all the rush tickets before they get through the line. Weekdays are a little easier.
Lombardi: I walked right up at half hour and bought a ticket. It's not selling well and they are happy to have a butt in the seat (unlike those jerks at Championship Season, who would rather have an empty house than a rush ticket.)
There is a playbill discount for JERUSALEM for the rear mezz at $37. I did that instead of waiting two hours in line for an obstructed view seat and the extra $10 was very much worth it.
All these rush questions make me think that the moderator, or anyone for that matter, create a Rush Questions Thread. The moderator could make it a sticky (or whatever it's called) so it'd be easy to find.
Sorry off-topic. But thoughts?

Definitely pay up for Jerusalem if you can. I only did rush because I needed to keep the whole day open until I got How to Succeed tickets, and then I could get Jerusalem. The box seats are horrid (though I moved to 8th row center after the first act, which, of course, was an amazing seat).
