Simply put, the odds of someone winning an in person lottery are much higher than an online lottery where basically anyone can enter.

Wouldn't it be easier for all concerned to do a digital lottery? I mean if your chances are the same as in-person lottery why go thru that headache of hundreds of people-and there will be for this show-when you can just check your e-mail to see if you won. TodayTix Lottery has been so much easier-I check my e-mail when they tell me to-and I won Act of God and On The Town.
I really think producers do in-person lotteries to create a huge crowd outside the theatre for publicity. This show doesn't seem to need that.

Just saw Frogs post. Makes sense. I didn't think about the odds for a digital lottery.

There is already a thread or two rhapsodizing ad nauseam about digital vs. in person lotteries so please leave that discussion there.

Simply stated you can pretend like the amount of people who would enter the lottery in person are the same as digitally but you're delusional if you think that. If you want to win this lottery then I think you should put in some effort like going to the theatre and entering.

There is no such thing as too much publicity......especially for a new Broadway show.

What are the odds of winning an in person lottery when 300 people show up? At least you get the convenience of staying home for digital lotteries, and don't have to keep showing up just to lose. I want to know how many people actually enter the digital lotteries

"While the Rodgers does have space for standing room, you should be aware that it is almost always partial view due to the steep incline of the orchestra. I wasn't lucky enough to see Hamilton off-broadway, so i don't know if the set is multi-level at all, but the mezzanine overhang will essentially cut your view of the stage in half. I stood there for Porgy and Bess, and luckily made friends with an usher after a patron was rude to him...and he quickly escorted me to a side orchestra seat as the house lights went down. Its better than nothing, but certainly my least favorite standing room space on bway"

 Ah. Hamilton does have a multi-level set – not quite as high as the fire escapes in Heights, but maybe high enough to be cut off. Though I'd hope David Zinn and co would consider sight lines in this production. Thanks for the heads up – I usually have better luck with standing room and rush, more so than with lotteries.

David Zinn?

I'm sure he'd be happy to, but the sets for Hamilton are by David Korins,

Stage is a bit high, but not bad by any means. I did front row twice for If/Then.

 Haha Apologies to both David's, I love both their work.

No one would know that for sure since the show hasn't started previews. It'll be better than not seeing the show at all and certainly worth $10 even though we know that's basically the equivalent of $1,000 to you.
