Thanks!! The only other show I entered that consistently was the BOM Twitter lottery. Won that after 3 months. This took 6, whew. It only takes a few seconds each day though, so totally worth it!

After the large sweep at the Tonys, I'm assuming that tickets through the cancellation line will be harder to get? If anyone goes within the next week or two, please share your experience! :) I'm planning to try the line sometime in July, and I'm hoping that it won't be necessary to camp out like many people did for Hamilton last year.

Just to be sure I'm following... This is more expensive than Hamilton now?

No, not even close. Premium tickets for HAMILTON are FAR more expensive, and regular-priced tickets for DEH are still in the "reasonable" range of $199 and under.

Hey, so I'm going to be in NYC from June 20th to the 23rd and I was wondering a couple things. How safe is it to camp out at night? I've heard people getting there at show time the night before didn't get anything so what time do you recommend? And have prices on stub hub dropped lower closer to performances?

I walked by the theater last night around 8pm and there were already at least 6-7 people lined up and camped out for the night. This was the first show post-Tonys, so don't know if this will be consistent, but I can't see it really becoming too much of a shorter wait at this point.

Hi.  I know the odds of me winning the lottery are slim to none but I am going to enter it anyways.  My mother wants to see the show with my father and they cannot stand in the cancellation line.  They are trying to get tickets to a Wednesday afternoon later this month.  My question is do people who win the lottery find out where the seats they win are located prior to paying for the seats or is the setup like priceline and you don't find out where the seats are located until after you pay for the seats?

Jorge, I looked at StubHub 10 minutes before showtime and the cheapest was $150 for From Row mezz. Not too bad, but I'd recommend trying to wait over night. If you can't, just go to the StubHub center and wait until you get the price you like and then RUN to the Music Box.

Very slim. Everyone has the same chance, but you can't count on it in any way. When I won I had to call Telecharge since the website wasn't working and the woman told me what the seats were over the phone. She felt bad the seats weren't together but I didn't care. It's $40 for one of the toughest most expensive tickets in town - do NOT be picky and take what they give you if you should be so lucky!

Greenifyme thank you for your response.  Were your seats obstructed view?  Do you know if the seats given to lottery winners are primarily obstructed view?

Sorry if this may be answered but where is the StubHub center?  Is it kinda like TKTS but for StubHub?

Hello! When I won the lottery I didn't know where the seats were until I picked them up at the box office. Although maybe I could have investigated a little more. It was 2 seats together in the box. Slight partial view but absolutely worth it!!!

Outside of the stub hub center where can I print last minute tub hub tickets? Any places near the theater?

I've read about people printing their tickets at the Marriott Marquis hotel business center, which is on Broadway between 45th and 46th St.

I passed by the theater at 4pm and there were about 10 people in line for standing room for tomorrow morning.

I dropped by Music Box today Tuesday 6/20 at 8:30am and I was #20 in line But only numbers 1,2 and 3 got SRO and they each bought 2 tix I believe. Come From Away, directly across the street had a similar situation...so chances are very slim to unless you are one of the first ppl

My friend was 5th in line and got a partial view cancellation ticket. She mentioned that they had very few tickets for tonight. I'm more interested that CFA had so few tickets as well because they've been consistently having 8-10 rush seats plus 25 SRO. People who showed up at 10:30 on Sunday got SRO no problem. (Not trying to change the subject here!)

I also know that for a while DEH was putting a note on the door of the box office that alerted the people in line how many SRO tickets they had for that day. That was pre-Tonys though so they must have changed it.

Hi all! So I did the stub hub trick today! I paid more than I might have wanted, but I thought it was worth it! So if you can't wait in the line buy from stub hub! The show is amazing, though! I was sobbing like a baby throughout! Now I want to see it with my mom....

Has anyone tried to get cancellation (not SRO) tickets recently?  Are they still only distributing those 2 hours before curtain?

[Burgcenafan]

Posted: 6/22/17 at 8:27pm

With the new arm band policy and it being taken out can anyone report how long the cancellation line has been sense it seems as if no one can spend the night now?

[n2nbaby]

Posted: 6/22/17 at 8:31pm

I've heard they have done away with the SRO line and now the SRO are being offered through the online lotto.

[Burgcenafan]

Posted: 6/22/17 at 8:37pm

I have heard the same. I guess what my question is has the cancellation line been effected by this in terms of wait time as well

[n2nbaby]

Posted: 6/22/17 at 8:44pm

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry. I was reading and talking to someone at the same time and just read the SRO mess and it got garbled in my mind. Apologies! :)

[Burgcenafan]

Posted: 6/22/17 at 9:03pm

Also does anyone know how much cancellation line tickets are currently
