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!
