Standing room gets first offered to friends and families of the cast and orchestra (I don't know for how much, if they charge them anything at all). Those that go un claimed get sold to cancellation for $40 (though, I've also heard $70, but I've only seen them go for 40).
When I was there, there were three standing room tickets sold to cancellation and the girls who got them later told us that they were standing next to people who said they were all friends and family of cast, crew and orchestra.
