Hugh Jackman Lottery — Page 2

So I tried the lotto yesterday and had a really weird experience with it. I arrived to put my name in around 5:45 but no one was there. I went in to the box office to ask if the lotto had been cancelled. They said it was cancelled today (Saturday) but would still occur tomorrow (Sunday). The women then proceeded to ask me how many tickets I needed. I told her just 1 and then she said she could give me a box seat for student pricing. When I asked she said there the policy was that lotto would not always happen and rush never happens. So I have NO IDEA why I got the ticket, but I just got the ticket and didn't want to argue it!
The show was great! So much fun in 2 hours! And just to let people know I sat in Box E and "THE box" is box C.

I originally thought it was Box A too, but when I saw a seating chart it said it was Box C. But, to make it clear it was really just the first box, house left.

"The" box is Left Box A. (Seating chart is incorrect).
Tickets aren't generally sold for that - they're generally house seats or used by the producers for invited guests, for this show.

I actually had those seats for a performance (purchased through a regular Telecharge transaction) and got a call that they had been sold 'in error' so was moved to center orchestra.

It looks like they may have decided to implement the new Student Rush ( no mention of Lottery) policy earlier than announced.

Someone has told me that sometimes the SRO also gets sold out
