I plan to lotto this Sunday for the 3 pm show, however I am getting conflicting infomation about the lotto. On TalkinBroadway it say that the lottery takes place (names are collected) 2 1/2 hours prior to each show. However, on the ACL website it say that for matinees it begins at 11:30 am and names will be drawn at random with winners announced at 12:00 pm, matinees being plural,it doesn't specify for the Sunday show inwhich the time differs from a normal matinee. With the Sunday performance at 3 pm the two sources don't correspond.
Info? Thanks!

After discussing it until we all got headaches the other day, I can't help but laugh by just seeing the ACL Lottery mentioned.
But I would recommend calling the theatre box office.

Posted: 6/29/07 at 11:50amI am 99% sure that ACL does the lottery on Sundays by collecting names at 12:30 and drawing names at 1. The "matinees" (plural) refer to Wednesday and Saturday. I am almost positive that Sunday does it an hour later. But yes, check with the box offce.

I'm 50/50. Lost one, won one.
The woman who runs it will always find out if there is standing room or other discounts. I did standing room the time I lost. It's not bad. And I was next to Zach's chair, so that was cool. :)
LIVE THAT LESSON!!!!!!

Names are collected at 12:30 on Sundays.
The first time I saw it, I tried to get standing room and was able to buy a lotto seat at the box office. The second time I went, I won the lotto.
