Quick question: has anyone tried the Book of Mormon lottery in Chicago recently? I'm planning a trip around the end of its run (early October) and I'm trying to decide whether to splurge on some not-so-great tickets or try my luck at the lottery (I'll have a couple chances over a weekend). Just wondering how big the crowds usually are.

Might be a long shot, but I'd love any advice! Thanks :)

I'd advise you to buy tickets before hand. Yes they will be a bit more expensive but at least your guaranteed good seats. With the lotto you might not win seats at all.

I was there about two weeks ago and tried the lotto twice (Saturday evening and Tuesday). There were about 75 people each time for 20 tickets.

They also do lotto loser seats, but they're pretty far away.

Sophiia: I'd suggest buying limited view orch seats. They're $90 but a bargain compared to what other people in your row would've paid.

I sat in of the balcony, and paid about $45 a ticket. Personally, I'd recommend that over limited view seats on the floor, if you can still get them. Then again, I usually always sit in the balcony to save money, and I have never once felt like I got a poor view...
