Pretty sure that is the case, that you need to pick up your tickets by 7:30, as is their usual policy. Then they go to the standby line. But for this show they will go to the lottery.
I appreciate hearing where TDF seats are so here are my TDF seats this week: Sea Wall/A Life—Dress Circle C15. Last seat on the left in that row, but was a great seat. Betrayal—orchestra N5 and 7. Great seats.
