[Chemie]

Posted: 1/18/19 at 2:38pm

I got an email that I was put on the standby list for two tickets.If there is unclaimed lottery ticket, I will be informed.
Anyone got a ticket from standby list? Where were the seats?
Also any lottery seats locations from the recent winners appreciated.
Thanks!

Both times I was sent the Standby email I ended up winning an hour later. Both times my seats were unobstructed front row orchestra left seats. The view was fantastic.

I've gotten Standby twice in the last 3 weeks and have lost both times. Both times I got the loss notice 2 hours after the Standby notice.

I got standby for lottery twice, first time I was sent a losing notice an hour or so later, the second time I "won" - although my seat was in the mid-mezz right, not the front row as others have mentioned before.

I was on standby 4 times in the last 2 weeks before finally winning. I was front mezzanine, few rows back, center section, a great view. And there were so many empty seats in the mezz, whole rows practically. Dont get your hopes up tho like I did every time. Standby isnt a sure thing. Cuz losing after waiting an extra 3 hours is worse than losing with everyone else.
It seems like an easy lottery all things considered tho!

I got standby and then won an hour later in early Nov, for one of the first previews.  I got Orch L, B13....couldn't see most of the back of the stage!

I agree about not getting your hopes up. The first time I got it, I decided to wait for the final answer and ended up missing the opportunity to rush another show for that night.

Just checked my past emails and my winning email came in exactly 2 hours after the standby email.

Yes, one of the times I got standby then lost I found out at 5pm, when the lottery closes at 2, usually it was only about a 2 hour wait tho. For me anyway.

Both times in Chicago, during the preview process, I entered the lottery twice.  The very first preview performance and the the press preview performance.  In both cases, I received an email telling me that I was wait listed and had to wait for an hour to see if I won the tickets.  Both times I did win and was able to sit in the same seats both times, front row center!

Got standby today, then at 3pm on the nose the winner notice came. Seat was Orch E 17. Could not see any of the LED screen upstage center but still great value!

I was hoping to get waitlisted but lost. I would gave expected it considering there are over 150 tickets still available on Stubhub 5 hours before show begins ?

what's the price for the lotto seats? Seems like if they have seats in the rear mezz, they're being offered for waitlisted standbys.

It was $33 per ticket including fees.

I finally won this last night after being on Standby 4 times. Seat was F104 Center Orchestra. Perfect view. So, don't give up if you keep getting the Standby list and not winning. Keep trying.

Won through the lottery standby list, tried for the first time. Guess I have good luck, huh? lol

I will report back with my seat location later.

I've entered for the past few weekends and haven't even been put on the standby list. I do have to wonder for the Saturday & Sunday matinees selling out if they sell SRO?
