Cool, thanks.

I actually found it really easy to get tickets to Book of Mormon. I wrote about it in my blog post (link below). I recommend getting to the box office at least two hours before showtime to get a spot in the standing room line. You can also put your name in the lottery. I won two tickets in the lottery, and there were only 66 other people who entered the lottery that day. Anyways, show up two hours early for standing room and if you don't get lottery, you still get a standing ticket to the show!

I wrote about a recent experience getting lottery tickets for The Book of Mormon, but I'd like to know other people's experiences in the past couple of months with lottery/standing room. I would always try in years past, but never had any luck with lottery. Hope everyone is having as easy a time at getting these tickets as I did!

I'm not going until April, but let us know what you think! :)

Hey Guys, sorry if the words came across as entitled, definitely don't feel entitled to any ticket on Broadway and I'm definitely grateful to see any Broadway show. I was trying to add a bit of humor to my experience, but I realize it came across as negative. The reason I decided to write about the negative experience at the Booth was because that is what I was hearing from multiple people in line that I talked to. I won't go into details, but I am definitely sorry if this post sparked a nega...

Hey Guys! I just wrote a post on standing room tickets for The Elephant Man! If anyone has any experiences with standing room for Elephant Man, let me know!

Yes! You never know what to expect in the front row! I agree, very thrilling and also terrifying at the same time! Glad you enjoyed the post :)

Also, I think if you buy your tickets from the box office instead of booking through Telecharge, you won't be charged the extra $12 in fees! Just a quick tip to save you all the most amount of money possible!

Yes, you must be under 30 to sign up for MTC's 30 Under 30! Just get a friend who is under 30 to sign up to buy two tickets and bring you along! :)

Hey Guys! I just wrote a post on how to get $42 front row tickets to Constellations with Jake Gyllenhaal and Ruth Wilson! Let me know what you guys think! Thanks :) Colin

Based on my experience, I think you would be fine with getting there an hour and a half before showtime. I think the box office must give out between 15-30 tickets each performance for student rush.

I've tried twice for Constellations rush (which is exclusively student rush, so get that student ID ready). Both times I showed up about 15 minutes before they started to give out tickets, which is two hours before showtime. Both times, there were five to ten people in front of me when they ran out of tickets. If you want these tickets, I recommend getting to the box office 45 minutes to an hour before they start giving away the tickets. I'd also be interested what other people's experiences ...

Oh wow, I guess it depends on who is in front of you and if they have a big head! I always pray the person in front of me isn't tall! Glad you were able to find a better seat for the second act! :)

I think the lottery for If/Then is usually a little harder to win because it takes place a half an hour after all of the other lotteries. I think people tend to rush over to the If/Then lottery if they haven't won any of the others which take place a half an hour before. Sometimes if you haven't won the lottery, the box office will still offer you "lottery loser" tickets, so definitely ask if you don't end up winning! :)

That's great! With my luck, the "lottery loser" tickets may come in handy. Thanks for the tip!

Glad you won the lottery, I'll have to try Matilda next! Thanks for the tip! :)

You should try again! If you lose the lottery, they sell tickets for $40 afterwards but I think they are partial view. Good luck! :)
