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?
A friend of mine got the standby email on Wednesday for the matinee and ended up winning from the standby list. Our seats were K10 and 12 in the orchestra which were great seats.

My seat today was B13 in the orchestra, partial view but for $30, I wasn't complaining and I actually loved the show!

Won on my first attempt for the 3/6 matinee. Got the standby email and then the winner email about an hour later.
I got a single seat and was front row center orchestra, right behind the conductor. Watching him and the musical cues on the sheet music was almost as much fun as the show itself, which among jukebox musicals, makes "Mamma Mia" look like Shakespeare, Terrific cast, terrible book.
Seems like they sell random leftover seats for standbys when they show isn't selling. Probably means the odds of winning a lotto seat is much easier during the week.
