Also, is it easy to get SRO tickets for RENT or Spelling Bee AFTER the lotto's are over or are they most likely going to be sold out of SRO tickets before the lotto?
I've tried the RENT lotto twice this week and not only was it hella crowded both times, the lotto guy announced afterwards that the show was completely sold out for that night - including the SRO tickets.

Yeah, I was happy for RENT but sad for me and my inability to get tickets.

Does anyone know if and what other shows pick the lotto at 6:30 instead of 6:00 on Friday. The only one I know of is Spelling Bee.
Is Spelling Bee SRO easy to get if you dont win the lotto?

Does Spelling Bee even do SRO? I mean, becuase the cast has to go through most of the theater at one point or another during the show, I wouldnt think that there would be room for SRO.

I had SRO seats to Spelling Bee tonight. AWFUL seats--so I didn't like the performance very much. The cast members never go where they SRO seats are. SRO seats are on the sides--my seats very VERY obstructed view.
Let's go through lotteries:
-DRS in July (when the lottery tickets didn't suck)-lost once, won the next.
-Avenue Q-won on my first try
-Wicked--I have tried that stupid lottery...about 5 or 6 times--and STILL have not won it. Geez, will the show just CLOSE already so I can get a life in NYC?
-Spelling Bee-about 3 times? Never won--but I bought SRO seats after Wicked's matinee performance's lottery winners were announced. I think that's all.
Oh, HAIRSPRAY! Won this morning! First time--AMAZING show--ahh!

I wonder if spring break would not be the best time to try the lotto. Just thinking the numbers would go up expotentionally.

Lottos are very crowded this week.
Most of the SRO spots at Bee are great, but yes, they have also been selling out early in the day and won't be available after the lotto.
Parks, sorry you had a bad experience because of where your spot was.

I did SRO for Spelling Bee last week and was the 2nd to last spot (26) & all I couldn't see was the backdrops which is nothing. Since I already saw the show, I knew what it was (a gym most of the time...) so I didn't think it was that bad.

My mom had 26, I had 24. I wasn't very familiar with the show going into it.
About Wicked--I don't even know why I try. I don't want to see Wicked, but it's like I have to prove that I can win it to myself?

So, you want to take tickets away from someone who wants to see it? That's just as bad as the people who try the Spelling Bee lotto only because they lost at Wicked. Instead of trying to get tickets to a show you don't want to see (hence taking them away from someone who DOES want to see it) try shows you actually want to see.

Spelling Bee is usually not that bad. I have never lost it, I've won 4 times. And sometimes SRO tickets are availible after the loto, but not always.
Avenue Q wasnt bad either, I went over December break and there were about...30 people or so? My brother won. So I dont think it would be bad on any random night

ILove, are you delusional? 30 people at Avenue Q? During winter break??
Even during the huge blizzards and on off nights, they have at least 50.
And I agree with Fosse76- don't just try Bee lotto cuz you lost Wicked, see it because you want to see it!!

I was a little suprised myself. I have only done Avenue Q lotto once, and before I went I had heard it was really hard to win. It was like December 23 I think, during break, and there were like...30-40 people maybe?

I know Sweeney Todd has student rush tickets for Mon-Thurs but I've been looking and I can't find information on if they have a lotto. Does anyone know if they do?
I am thinking of doing lotto tomorrow IF I go to NYC. Im thinking of doing the RENT lotto and Spelling Bee lotto which is picked a half hour later.
Does anybody else have any other suggestions for getting REALLY cheap tickets for a show tomorrow? (Friday, march 17th) I guess if worse comes to worst, I'll try tkts. Although, at this point, Im not even sure I'm going.

Sweeney doesn't have lotto and only does student rush Tues/Wed/Thurs.

Could someone please answer my questions from 2 posts above?
Also, Parks (or anyone)- Where are the lotto seats now? Last time I went they were the last row of the theatre.

Also, the Hairspray question.
And, is there any other lotto, besides Spelling Bee, that picks at 6:30 instead of 6?
whoops- no lotto for PJGame- do you think student rush will be easy?
thanks

Your best bet for cheap tickets is lotto.
I have no idea what Hairspray question you are talking about.
No, Spelling Bee is the only lotto that draws at 6:30.
Pajama Game doesn't have lotto.
