Dear Evan Hansen lottery questions

Just won the DEH lottery. Have < 2 hours to buy the tix.

Most any other day would be great but today has some conflicts.

I guess we have to call the theater if we can find the number, but I’ll ask here:

Hamilton has a nice FAQ.cant find one for DEH:

Do I have to pickup tix or can my wife and her friend get them with my id / credit card used for payment ?

Are they typically good seats? Hamilton rules, like DEH say they may be separate, anywhere in theater, etc. but Hamilton is first couple rows (always?)

Do you get disqualified / banned / they just keep you from winning again if you win and don’t actually buy tix? Ie Has anyone passed on buying and won again later?

Thanks!!

When I won they didn’t even ask for ID, but I’m
Not 100% sure if it’s alwahs like that. I just gave my name (I was winner and payment was on my credit card).

I thought I was quick, but my seats were standing. Sti fine for the price and RBI’s was back when Ben Platt was there.

I don’t think they will care if you win and they go unclaimed. It’s all automated. I’m assuming they would just be sold to anyone on cancellation line or that shows up at box office.

I’m very excited that I just had to gush. After over a year of entering the Lottery, I won 1 ticket tonight. I never thought that would ever happen. Didn’t see it Off Broadway and have never seen it on Broadway. So, for those entering frequently, it does work!

Now I've sat extreme sides lots of times with backs to me and scenes not being seen but what's with that black high wall built around the apron of the stage? Is it for sound, lights? Whatever it is you feel like you're in a hole when seated. I loved seeing the faces close up but I saw them from the waist up only. No real problem with the $42 price but it did look like the first 2 rows orchestra center would have the same view- at full price. Just found it odd. Never experienced that before."

I sat in your same exact seat last year. The high wall seemed to hold a bass speaker, as I felt my leg vibrating from it the whole show, but I was able to see ankles up so you must be really tiny if it was only waist up... The first row of orch center is partial view and sold at $150 according to a friend. They're amazing seats, so I wouldn't complain about them.

I’m 5’7” and I didn’t see any ankles.
Not complaining at $42, as I said. But $150 for 1st row center orchestra as partial view? That seems a bit steep. I love the 1st row and don’t mind looking up as you usually do seated in that section (did it for Dolly and it was great) but if I paid $150 and couldn’t see the actors from head to toe, I would be a bit miffed. To each his own, I guess."

People use booster seats there usually. I'm 5'11 so that may contribute but first row wasn't ideally comfortable but again for that price it's amazing. Prices might have went down since she saw it, but I know lots of telecharge tickets for the show are $200+ so it's luck

Bumping this thread. Has anyone won recently? If so, are the tickets still standing room?

I just won last night and had mid level orchestra right side of the house in the middle of the row (I think it was Orchestra R L 18-20). Seats were excellent.

After playing the lottery religiously (both my wife and I ) for 4 months since we moved here, I won yesterday morning and then she won the standby at 3 which she of course couldnt use. Crazy.....

To Calgal2 and Joe Mayo...thanks for posting your lottery seat locations! Just curious as to how quickly you purchased your tickets after notification. I have been lucky enough to win a few times, and both times that I purchased immediately, I was in A4...the one time I purchased about 10 mins late, I was in SRO....

Two different family members of mine won within the past two months. Had the same Row B and Row J seats in the mezzanine section mentioned previously. One set was purchased within 30 min of the notification and the other was about an hour. The shows were Tuesday and Thursday night performances in case that made a difference. Good luck!

i won 1 ticket and it was the first row seat all the way to the right. it was a little close but could see almost everything.
