Best way to get Wicked tix in CHI?

Hi all, I'm new to Chicago and love it. Whats the best way to get tickets to Wicked? It seems all non-"impaired-viewing" seats are bought by brokers and then sold for more expensive prices. Has anyone tried simply going to theater an hour before show and had success getting reasonably priced tix? I've tried craigslist and ebay, but theres got to be other venues. Any help is appreciated.

I was lucky with Ticketmaster. They do show VIP tickets for over $100 (avoid them, I think it's a Ticketmaster scam).Try Ticketmaster a day ahead and you may get lucky with cancellations. The fees stink though.

Last month, I just went up to the box office ~2 hours before the show and had no problem buying tickets. They were in the 7th row (or so) and to the right, so they were considered "limited viewing" although they were totally fine (especially for being last minute). I would try the lottery if I were you, and then if that doesn't work, just go over the box office and try your luck. (This is probably easier to do during a weekday performance - Tues through Thurs - vs. a Fri/Sat show).

Hey everyone, I'm new here too. My girlfriend is coming to visit next weekend (11/5) and I really want to go saturday or sunday. How exactly does the lottery/ticket cancellation line work? You just show up at the theater and see what's available? Thanks for the help
