According to Playbill, Newsies and Aladdin are now switching their same day ticket policies. Aladdin is now doing a lottery, Newsies is now doing a rush. Not sure if that had been brought up before but it's the first time I've heard of this. Thoughts?

I think it's great. People have been getting to Aladdin at 5 or 6 to rush and some of us can't do that. Would love to see Aladdin.

However, there's no much space to hold a lottery at the New Amsterdam. Could be a mess.

Perhaps they'll do it out back.

It happens all the time. I think it will work out just fine.

Already seen both shows more than once. Good, I am glad I can go get Newsies tickets when I am in the mood to see it. Aladdin, I can just go get cheap box seats day of. I am glad they switched to lotto though. people were lining up EARLY and they would only have 5 or 6 tickets available or no tickets at all.

So I guess this means lotto for Aladdin will start next week, on 4/21. I was hoping to try my luck tomorrow, but I guess not. I am glad they switched to lotto too, this way at least people who cannot get to the theater at 5-6 am have a chance!

I am vertically challenged and LOVED the view from the box seats in that theater. Are they still running the same policy on those seats as they did for Poppins?!?!?
