Don't despair if you lose the Something Rotten Lottery - I still managed to get great seats!

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share my experience this week - I entered the lottery multiple times during my trip in NYC and lost every time. SOME (not all!) of the emails informing me that I lost had a discount code offering Mezzanine seats for $49 and after I lost my last chance to see it I decided to try this option.

I was in the theater within 5 minutes of losing the lottery a scored a pair of $49 tickets in row K of the Mezzanine, dead center! They were excellent seats, especially for this price. I highly recommend this for anyone who is in the city for a limited period of time and cannot wait to win the lottery. However, they did say they only have a limited number of those "loser" seats available for each show so make sure to get to the theater early!

So you have to go to the box office to get the lotto loser seats?

When I did it, early in previews, you did not. You were given a code you could use through Telecharge only for that show. However, the seats available through Telecharge were not as good as the one I got by going to the box office.

Yes and also, I think you need to pay Telecharge fees, which you don't in the box office, I paid $98 for both, no additional fees!
