Thanks for that information.  I’ll check out the line later, but I have two shows today so there isn’t any way I could stand there all day.

I read “once per performance” to mean once for Part 1 and once for Part 2, period, ever.  But who knows.  Maybe someone who knows how the Friday Forty works can clarify.  I wanted to practice entering, but won’t do it until I know I can actually be here for a show that week.

Considering the fact they announced it on all of their social media and sent out emails to everyone on the mailing list I'd be shocked if the line isn't almost at capacity in the next 1 hour so. There are so many people in the immediate area alone of the theatre that people will easily spend all day to get the two parts for 40 bucks. 

Saturdaty June 2 has two prime seats available Orch S30, 32

The whole thing sounds miserable.

The line all ready spans the length of the theatre.

Well, that sucks. I was gonna split the time with someone

Someone on Twitter asked about leaving the line and returning, and the response was that short breaks are allowed if someone holds your spot.

"If necessary." Because only silly people need bathroom breaks, I suppose. 

Any idea how this stunt fits into the "deterring scalpers" scheme? I'm hoping the 1,200 tickets go to people who really want to see the show and not people who really want to resell at a huge markup...
