Phantom Standing Room for Sold Out Performances

Has anyone done standing room for Phantom? If so, is it worth it? Has standing room been selling out? Given that next weekend's performances are completely sold out, I don't think I have any other option to see it (besides trying the lotto of course) on my upcoming trip to NYC.

I would suggest getting to the box office as soon as it opens. That's what I did this week when I planned to do standing room and a ticket for orchestra row B opened up last minute. So you may be able to get a ticket that way. If not, if it's sold out, or only a couple seats left, you can do the standing room option. I heard the view is decent, you just won't see the top of the proscenium or the chandelier when it's in place on the ceiling due to the mezz. overhang. I got to the Majestic Theatre 45 minutes before the box office opened and only one person was in front of me. A group of others didn't start lining up up 15-30 minutes before they opened and I believe there's like 27 standing room spots. 

You can also try to check telecharge daily in case there are any cancellations. But I admit, I've been looking for next weekend for my two friends and I have never seen that day open up with resale tickets.

Good question. I went on a Tuesday. So if it's a weekend show, it might be better to try to be at the theater 30-45 mins before they open.
