Matilda Rush vs Lottery?

Has anyone successfully done both, since they switched to an online lottery? Thoughts on which method gives better seats? Does anyone know whether rush tickets are usually available later in the day, after losing the lottery? Is rush easy to get?

Any information would be appreciated! Thanks everyone.

The online lottery I've tried a couple times and have not won but it just depends on the day and your luck. Rush I think is your best option to know your getting tickets. I've sat all over the house when I did rush, but they are still good. I've gotten row L, H, And C orchestra. I'm not sure how it will be now that it is getting nicer out but if you get there maybe an hour and a half before the box office opens you'll get a pretty good spot (one time I arrived that time and was first). that said with he weather and the closing it might be more people. I went over winter break one time and they were very strict to the 20 tickets for rush cuz they were almost sold out I wasn't one of the people to get the tickets but I did get standing room for that show. Just as a heads up though they still haven't changed it on the website but now both rush and lottery are $32.

Yeah most of the time they only sell rush in the morning. Sometimes they give some cheap last minute tickets,but the box office did tell my friend they don't sell rush tickets after the box office opens and everyone in line gets tickets.
