    Default hurry down vs hurry up?

    I've heard "hurry up" a lot, but "hurry down" is new to me. What's the difference between the two?

    ex)...So hurry down to the theater's box office and get your tickets.

    Are the following sentences correct ?
    So hurry up to the theater's box office and get your tickets
    Or :
    So hurry up the theater's box office and get your tickets
    I searched it on Google and I saw some sentences as follow :
    # Hurry up the cakes.
    # Hurry up the treasures.
    ( Though Goggle search is a wrong way to learn Perfect English)

    Thank you........

    Or :
    So hurry up the theater's box office and get your tickets This is saying that you should somehow make the box office move faster.
    I searched it on Google and I saw some sentences as follow :
    # Hurry up the cakes. You really can't hurry (make go faster) a cake. You could say, "Hurry up with the cakes, or, hurry up and make the cakes."
    # Hurry up the treasures. Hmmm...I've no idea of what this means.
