rush tickets
Day-of theater passes
Rush tickets are discounted tickets sold shortly before a performance, typically on the day of the show.
Theaters and concert venues use them to fill unsold seats, often requiring buyers to wait in line or enter a lottery: I got rush tickets to the Broadway show for half price.
The term comes from the urgency of last-minute purchasing.
