Midweek Lottery Odds

I haven't done much midweek lottery, but wanted to suggest Standing Room for Fun Home, as the tickets are cheap ($30) with excellent views (the theater is very intimate and it's a pretty much a theater in the round, so you can't really go wrong with any vantage point). Moreover, the show is relatively short without intermission, so you don't have to stand that long. And the standing room has plenty of space for each customer, so you can really lean forward or backward throughout the show.

right, I am a little confused by the policy because I have managed to get standing room for Fun Home and The Color Purple when there were still tickets available at tkts...though for both shows I bought the standing room tickets later in the day (noon for a Sat matinee and 4pm for an evening show).

I went out on a Wednesday and did the digital lotteries for the Matilda, Something Rotten, Fun Home, Noises Off, School of Rock, and Hamilton matinee performances a few weeks ago. I won the Fun Home lottery and it was my first try! I also won School of Rock, but I obviously chose Fun Home over it. We had tickets for the Color Purple that night and I totally recommend you try to get rush tickets for that show. Also, our lotto seats for Fun Home were in the 2nd row on the side, which were PERFECT! Best of luck! :)

You should also check TDF if you qualify. A couple of those shows pop up regularly. March mid-week shows should start showing up in another week or so.

it's impossible to know the odds as the lotteries are online. A wednesday matinee a few weeks ago I won both Allegiance and Something Rotten (both 1 ticket). Went to Allegiance. Something rotten has $49 lotto loser seats, and they're on todaytix for $37. Those seats are really good! Code GBMLZ will get you $10 off too. I won Les Mis lottery (2 tix) on a sunday matinee and noticed about 10 names on the winners list. I don't think their rush is too bad either. Walked by School of Rock a saturday around 1 and asked about evening rush, they had no more rush, but offered SRO (I didn't take it). Fun Home I second trying SRO spots. And Matilda I haven't been around since they changed their policies, but I imagine rush not being too hard. I know my friend won two tix in the lottery a thursday night.
