Plan to head up to NYC from DC next week. Any recs for how to see a show at a reasonable price? I've heard of people getting rush, sro, or lottery tix but I don't live in NYC and am not sure how to get tix this way. REALLY want to see BEE, DRS, or Spamalot.
Also, is it better to try during the week rather than the weekend? School's out so my schedule is flexible...Yea!
Thx!

Bee and DRS have lottery's. They're a lot easier to get on a weekday. But, that's your best bet, as they aren't on TKTS, unless you wanna pay full price.
Spamalot is sold out for now, and you'd have to wait in the cancellation line.

How can I find out which shows offer lotteries? Is there a website with this info. Thx!

Thx for the website! Q: Do RUSH and lottery mean the same thing?
