Kinky Boots lottery question (Brady's final week!)

Since next weekend will be the last for Wayne Brady, I would like to try my luck with the lottery for Kinky Boots. It's nice that they allow you to pick multiple dates and let you know/buy a day in advance, like The Crucible I suppose. I have a few questions. For those who have won, where were the seats? Also, do you have to pay ticketmaster fee on top of the $37? Also, do they ever sell standing room (i.e. sold-out house) these days?

And a general seating question: is rear mezz better than (extreme) side orchestra for this show?



Thanks for any input!

In my experience the lotto seats have always been box seats...not sure about the rest, though (I won back b4 it was a Ticketmaster thing). :)

thanks so much for the input! I wonder if getting rear mezz with discount codes/TodayTix promo would provide me with better views than boxes? I haven't been inside the Al Hirschfeld theater...

I actually like the boxes (I've sat in both left and right; you really don't miss anything despite them being technically "partial view", and would definitely recommend them over rear mezz, cuz that mezz goes pretty far back!! :)

I just got back from seeing Kinky Boots today and I won the lottery. The seats were box seats located on the right side. Not bad seats.

The entire box seats (front and back) are the seats sold for the lottery- and no, there is no extra fee. it's just the basic lottery cost.

I lost the lotto for yesterday so after I got done rushing another show, I decided to just stop by the box office and see if they had any cheap tickets for the matinee. Someone didn't claim their lottos seats, so I was able to get 2 for the matinee. They were the last row in the left boxes and they were very partial view. A lot of action happens far left on stage and we missed all of it. Plus if there's someone tall in any of the seats in front of you, forget it. You'll see even less and you'll spend the whole show moving back and forth between heads.

I paid a $5 service fee for my lottery tickets through ticketmaster.

Have Kinky lottery seats remained the box sections?
