Got an email for tickets to DRS. Front row seats for $26.25. I hope this is not a con to match the ad campaign because I'm not in the mood to freeze my butt off.

I doubt it's a con.
I think it's a wonderful move by the production team.

Posted: 1/28/05 at 6:13pmI don't think it's a con, but it would be kinda funny if they went to those extremes to trick people.

Posted: 1/28/05 at 6:23pmTheir ads are funny and obvious. If it was a joke you would have been able to tell by the ad.

I would love to sit front row for DRS. To be close to John Lithgow, Norbert, and Sherie René Scott would be amazing.

Posted: 1/28/05 at 7:56pmI know! I paid full price, too.

Well, for those who paid full price, don't frown, your seats are at least guaranteed ! It is a Lottery after all and with the apparent success this show will had, the chances of getting a ticket will probably be smaller than winning the lottery for Wicked or Q :)
Take care

Oh how this excites me. The woes of going to college in the city - no money. The perks - you can keep trying the lotteries every night until you get them.
Does anyone know how long Lithgow/Butz/Scott/Jbara/Gleason's contracts are for?

Posted: 1/28/05 at 8:06pmEven if you don't win the lottery but want (fairly) inexpensive seats, most of the mezzanine goes for $46.25.

Posted: 1/28/05 at 11:55pmI really want to Rush this show - and as you saw my impatience in my previous post - I was wondering if I should wait until after previews?
