I lotto'd tonight for someone and lost. They weren't offering lotto loser seats but they offered me balc for $52, but then we left and came back, at which time those seats were gone and they offered us $27 "partial view balc" which was side aisle balc with a tiny obstruction. I set my friends up with those tickets and went on my way to How to Succeed. But the tickets were harder to get than I thought. It was only 30% on TKTS. Good for them for doing well.
And, for the record, when I did see it with a $40 cancelled group seat in the balc that I got a few days in advance of the performance I saw weeks ago, I was glad I was up that high...this show has a lot going on visually.
