Re Hamilton: I never have won that Lottery either! I live 3 blocks from the theatre here in NYC and finally saw it in Chicago courtesy of a friend who lives there and got me a ticket the day they went on sale there!

I seem to have more luck with Lotteries on Today Tix than those other Digital Lotteries like Hamilton, Hansen and now, My Fair Lady.

Oh wow, the irony! At least you had a chance to see Ham, even if you did have to travel. I agree that TodayTix seems to have better chances. Looks like SRO has been good for DEH lately - I may need to try soon.

I thought that DEH was going to be one of the fews shows that I would be willing to pay full price, but seems that these tickets are a better deal. What you think? How's the view?"

Yes, it's numbered. So you can't stand just anywhere you wish. I won the lottery for this a couple of months ago, and didn't know until after I picked up the ticket that I got SRO. I would have offered it to someone else had I known earlier. I was on house right, aisle position. View was great, so if you don't mind standing for a couple of hours, definitely a cheap way to see this show.

And the SRO tickets? Are they located behind the last row of the Orchestra?"

Lottery tickets include SRO tickets. When I won the lottery, I was given SRO tickets. Yes, they are located behind the last row of the Orchestra.

 

Hey!
Complete noob here hoping to stand out for (hopefully SRO) tickets this weekend. I'll let you know how it goes lol

Do you think 9AM is too late to snag a SRO for the night show tomorrow?

A friend would like to see the show and I would love to see it again- not sure if I want to stand the whole time though. Had I not seen it yet, I would.
Not sure if I should enter the lottery if it is for standing room."

It's mostly standing room. The first 6 tickets are seating. So if you claim them quickly you may get a seat.

The lottery is both partial view side orchestra, the front row, and standing room. You aren't told in advance where you will be seated/not seated. I also was once told by the box office staff that box seats are in the lottery but I've never heard reports of anyone getting them. 

I haven't posted on this thread in a while, but I was doing a ticket search last night for a friend, and, as expected, they're still doing the 4-day accessible seating release. If anyone is looking to see the show soon for a reasonable price, mezzanine seats K 1-3 are available for this Saturday 7/9 at 8 p.m., $135 each. These seats don't show up on the seating chart on the Telecharge website, though, so, if you're using a computer, you need to let the website choose the seats for you in order for them to show up. This isn't an issue on the app.

any recent success stories?

Just won the lottery for tonights performance - got my tickets at 2:07 and the email that I got saying I won came in at 2. Do I have a good chance at seats? I am super excited nonetheless 

For those wondering - it was standing room. I did get the first two slots though, so I assume all the lotto seats are standing. Great show though - Michael Lee Brown had to step in for Taylor halfway through Act 1 which was interesting

Seems like they've changed the price points on a lot of tickets lately. I was checking a few dates for September, and a ton of the seats that have always been $199 are now $225 (a price I don't remember seeing on any non-premium seats before). The mid-premium seats have mostly jumped from $250 to $299. Looking later in the winter, though, it seems like most of the non-premium seats are back to $199.
