25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee to Offer $25 Lottery Tickets at Every Performance

Very clever. I wonder if they'll be advertising for people to come over to their lotto after the Wicked one ends.

I'm not a fan of the lotto system at all - but I'm glad they're offering cheap tickets.

I knew about the lottery but I wondered if when they were going to do it so that it doesn't conflict with Wicked. This sounds good

No, because the WICKED people will just wait around and make it equally impossibly to win the BEE lotto.

And I don't think it's better than the "line" system because if you want to see a show bad enough, you get your ass out of bed and get there at 6 AM. I wanted to see Antonio's last performance in NINE, so I woke up at 4 AM and waited on line until noon - I got my ticket. If you want to see a show bad enough, just f*cking wake up and wait on line. The lotto system with some popular shows it utterly impossible.

VERY smart move...

I know THEY don't care, I'm talking about my point of view, not theirs.

Bull****, munk. For some of us, it's not a matter of wanting it badly; it's simply a matter of when we can get into the city. I physically can't get into NYC before 9 am or so. It's not possible. And you're telling me that I'm screwed for tickets because I don't want it enough? Why the hell should locals and tourists in hotels have the advantage?

sweet! i'm really looking forward to seeing it.
