This is getting REALLY frustrating since I've never seen the show.
I've lost the "In The Heights" lottery 6 times in 2 weeks.

I've tried so many times and haven't won since July or something. It's very frustrating.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I won the WICKED lottery twice on two different tour stops (100% success rate).

I hear you, I've lost it several times too. The problem is that it's just so popular - you'd have as much luck winning the real lottery. If you can possibly afford it, I'd recommend just buying a regular ticket, 'cause it's totally worth it. And I think they have some that are pretty reasonably priced, like around $50 or $60.

It took me 15 tries (on off-season weeknights!) to win the Wicked lottery.

it's VERY annoying, I wish they just had rush.
I'm a professional. Whenever something goes wrong on stage, I know how to handle it so no one ever remembers. I flash my %#$&.

I don't wanna pay $61.50 for the partial view rear orchestra seats. And I don't want to sit in the balcony. I want to sit front row :)

If they ever have the Balcony seats available get them! They are great seats and it is not often that they are available.

I entered the Broadway WICKED lotto spur of the moment only once (alone, mind you) and won. I did the same for it on tour. Only once. With my friend. I won. A friend of mine, on the other hand, has literally done the Broadway lotto for WICKED about 100 times and has never won. Not once.
Just goes to show it's a total crapshoot and no matter how many times you do it, your odds will always be the same (well, not exactly; barring how many people show up, which is roughly always the same). Keep trying. It's free to lose, so why not keep trying.

I've only done lottery for a show three times, and have won twice (title of show and Hairspray).
Try going midweek.

4 attempts were midweek. 2 weren't.

And also, from what I hear - TOS and Hairspray were two of the easiest lotteries to win by far.

Then you're just unlucky and should just suck it up and buy some cheap tickets, if you want to see it so badly.

Yeah they were the easiest.
ColorTheHours048, are you gonna be available to do lotto anytime soon, haha? You obviously have good luck.

I am 2-2 at In the Heights, mind you 3 of those times were before the Tonys. But keep trying!

Sounds like it's time to just pop for a ticket, even if it isn't a great seat, you'd still get to see the show. It's better than nothing.

Are the partial view seats for sale day of? And how is the view for the partial view seats?

On Sunday, after the lottery, they offered orchestra seats for $61.50. Mine was definitely not partial view.
