So line-up yourself on Tuesday afternoon when you arrive into town ... easy-peasy."

I'd be getting there at least 5pm by the time I get out the airport and drop my bags off."

Unless you are dropping your bags off in Montauk or Philadelphia there is no way that it would take you over 4 hours to get to the theater.

Does anyone know if wristbands are still in effect for standing room? When I went on the 22nd, I was told by security that that was the last night they were giving out wristbands because the process started a lot of fights and that my friend and I shouldn't bother and should leave, but when I walked by after the show got out on the 22nd I saw people lined up for wristbands for the show the next day? Very confusing. If anyone has clarification I would be very appreciative. Thanks.

@chrishussey i called telecharge last night to ask if the standing room policy was still in effect and the man on the phone said yes and didn't know of any future changes. Its not up to the Music Box to make changes, though.

As of yesterday at noon, wristbands were still being used. Only time will tell if a security guard will give some out tonight at midnight for tomorrow's performance.

Last night was the last night of doing the wristband policy for SRO and partial view. They announced this morning after giving out the tickets that all SRO and partial view will be in the lottery effective today for Wednesday's shows.. So your only shot is the cancellation line or winning the digital lottery. Evening shows don't give out cancellation tickets till 2 hours before, I presume it is the same for matinees.

Me too. Not great for those who linesit or have lots of free time, but nice for the rest of us (also, I can't imagine that NYPD was really happy about people lining up outside all night)

The e-mail was the announcement, not the clarification.

Also, there are still SRO tickets, so he isn't wrong. It is just a matter of how people get them that changed.

I stood for BEN PLATT... and I cried...

do you think other shows will follow suit? I quite like the experience of going to rush tickets / SRO ... suffice to say the WONDERFUL staff at the AUGUST WILSON has gotten to know me quite well LOL!

but I get why they'd do this too

There are not many shows that people start to line at 2 PM the night before though. If I'm not mistaken, DEH is the only show where people wait that long for tickets. I honestly don't think other shows will follow, but I guess we will see. Most shows don't sell out until a few hours before, so I think the only option at least for SRO tickets is to have a line. Dear Evan Hansen is sold or for months, so it is certain that they'll sell SRO, so it makes sense to it for a lottery. But the lines for other shows isn't as crazy as DEH. I guess time will tell, but I hope shows still have rush. It is truly an amazing experience to be surrounded with people with the same interests as you.

Same. I won tonight's lottery but I can't go because my mom requires a seat and all they have available is standing room. The email I received says to call telecharge if you need an accessible seat but they were unable to find one seat.



"

"If you win just buy the 2 tickets ... if it's seats, you're set and if it's SRO just sell them on here or to the cancellation line."





That might work if you are already in the city.

They don't offer SRO as a rush option anymore. The only way you can get them now is through the digital lottery.

How early are you able to arrive into the city? What is the max amount per ticket that you can pay?
