Book of Mormon Lottery Difficulty — Page 2

You've been entering online? There's your problem! In person it's a lot easier, especially if the weather sucks.

SpongBob SquarePants

Aladdin

Beautiful (x2)

Summer the Musical

Phantom of the Opera (and I only entered this one twice - because of the weird time frame for registration)

Gettin' the Band Back Together (x3) ( I didn't go any of the times I've won and passed them onto friends. I tell myself I will go, but then when I win I'm just not up for it. Maybe, since I haven't heard great things. I've stopped registering for this one)

And I even wonHAMILTON! on my fourth week trying.



TBH, most of the lotteries through luckyseat seem to be pretty difficult to win. It may be the way those lotteries are set up, where you can sign up for a total of 8 lotteries in one registration, so you don't have to remember to come back or really think about what you may have planned on that particular day before signing up.

I won the online BoM lottery a couple of times, didn’t take me long either. On the other hand I’ve been trying Hamilton for over 2 years and still no luck. It’s a lottery, so it’s all random in the end.

When the show first opened, they only had the in-person lottery so it took me about 10x to finally win. Within the same 3 month-span I also won free tickets to their 1-year Fan Day. Since then, I've won the digital lottery about 5x and the in-person lottery again 2x. Haven't seen it that many times (only 4x) but it has definitely gotten much easier in the last few years. Meanwhile, I've been entering the Hamilton lottery for years and haven't won yet.

I haven’t seen any info on the BoM lottery lately. I actually won it for tomorrow after the second time playing it!! Was sort of shocked. It’s been YEARS since I’ve seen this show and I remember back in the day it was next to impossible to get tickets for this!

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone has experience winning the digital lottery for this lately? Where were your seats? Are they all partial view? I am taking a friend who has never seen it so ideally want him to have a great view if possible. I know the in person lotto back in the day gave all front row tickets, not sure if that all just transferred over to the digital lotto or not

Wow amazing! Hoping we are as lucky as you tomorrow - Fingers crossed!

Doesn't sound too bad. Yeah I am not a fan of the sides either, hoping for somewhere in the middle. We shall see tonight!!

Wow that sounds amazing! In intermission now. Seats are perfect!! We got mezzanine row G seat 3 and 5. I actually tend to like mezzanine more than orchestra some times. But have a full view of everything with no head straining thankfully! I haven’t been to this theater in about 7 years (I think), forgot how small it is - at least comparatively to others I’ve been in lately. I can’t imaigne there are many “bad” seats here

Does anyone know if when you get to the theater to pick up tickets impacts the seats you get? As in, if you get there closer to when the performance starts are your seats worse?

The BoM tour is having in person lottos outside the theater they are touring to, I'm curious if anyone has tried and see if those seats are good. It might depend on the theater, but I'm still curious as I'm see the tour in Philly in a few weeks, but my seat is obstructed so maybe trying to lotto might be better. 

I won the Mormon lotto years ago, the first time it was ever in Philly. We were in the front row.
