You're very welcome. This thread has been so helpful and positive to me and I want to pay it forward. Expect lots of cheering and high-fiving from others (:

How much is SRO ticket?

How's the view?

I've done the line three times.  The last time was last Friday.  Got there at 10:00 and was 9th in line. Got my ticket at 6:00.  Nobody lined up behind me until around 2:00 so i could have gotten there at 1:30 and been in the same spot.  

Normally i would say if you get there by 2:00, you'll be fine (the three times i've done the line, people who got in line at 2:00-3:00 always got in), however since you're coming from out of town, i would plan on getting there at 9:00 just to be sure.  Bring water, snacks, something to read and a cushion to sit on.  My wife and i buy 12 packs of toilet paper to sit on.  That way we can throw them out before the show and don't have to carry them into the theater.  9:00 may be overkill but you're pretty much guaranteed a seat that way.  There's a bathroom around the corner at the Marriott that you can use without losing your place in line.  I've found there's always somebody to talk to and the time usually goes by faster than you think.

 

On a Friday, wow.

 

It's under the awning on the other side for most of the day, then between 6:00-6:30, they move the line over to the Marriott side to make room for the ticketholder line.

I walked by on Sunday 8/19 at 11:45 and there were 5 people on line. i thought....why not. I had a ticket (J 101) by 12:41!! Fluke?

Hey guys, I’m going to New York the second last week of October and was just wondering if anyone knew what the cancellation line has been like lately? Also am I better of going into the box office on the Monday to ask about the weeks performances or just trying the cancellation line on the day? Thanks!

SRO are offered usually to the cancellation line, just prior to curtain. Back when there was a lot of data kept about such thing (about a year ago) people were tracking that they offered around 3-5 SRO tickets when they did offer them. They didn't always have them. No idea what it's like now, if that's gone up or down.

 

They're $40 and are obstructed, you do not see the second level. 95% of the show happens on the first level though, so the only big thing you miss is the first part of Schuyler Defeated.
