Late August Lotteries

Spring Awakening has rush, not lotto.

YF can be relatively easy to win, from what I have heard.

Onstage seats aren't that difficult to come by if you order early on. Sometimes they may even have scattered singles within a couple of weeks of the performance. Onstage is fun, though, even though you see the backs of the cast sometime. You really more energy from the stage as opposed to sitting in the orchestra. Don't get me wrong, full view orchestra is great, but I love sitting onstage! Have fun.

Wicked lottery also has hundreds of people...you are probably better off with YF.

I think 39 Steps, Boeing-Boeing, and August are also rushes, but I am not sure about how busy those are.

39 steps has the $39 tickets and Boeing Boeing has the $20 box seat rush. I want to see August Osage County even though the Tony winners are gone.

How should the crowds be in a few weeks anyway? I always go in the fall because I love the weather then! Anyone have expereince going this time of year?

It's funny because I was just loking at the seating chart and I thought they were a little too far to the side. LOL! Thanks for the advice!

I think Wicked is crowded no matter what, school seems to have nothing to do with it. And I hear YF is pretty easy.


{TOS} is great and also an easy win. I saw it, I did the lottery and Won one ticket. There were probably about 30 people for a Sunday Matinee.

I sat in Balcony Row C, center for Boeing, Boeing, paid $36.50 for it and thought the view was just perfect for the show (I bought my ticket about 1.5 hours before show in the last week of July). The balcony seemed to almost hang directly over the mezz and I'd definitely sit in the same seats again. Plus, the show is so funny with great performances! I went on a whim and loved every second.

I did YF lotto way back in Feb and my friend's name was pulled first so we ended up in the front row, but everyone "won" as that is back when I think they started selling leftover balcony seats at lotto price.

[title of show] lotto is fairly easy - I tried in the last week of July for a Sat matinée and everyone there got a ticket. I was told the crowd for lotto can vary, but it hasn't been huge.

And Wicked was crowded when I last checked (I peeked in while in NYC and walked by the theater at lotto time). However, the one time a friend of mine won was when it was a very crowded and cold Sunday afternoon in March, so luck could be on your side.

I rushed August Osage County last week on a Saturday, got there at 9:25am, and got the last ticket for the 8:00pm show. I would recommend getting there at 9:00am to ensure a seat. Have a great trip!

August Rush is $26.50.

I believe that it is the last row of the theatre [Rear Mezz.]
