Because I don't feel like starting another thread, I'll ask here. Has anyone played the Drowsy lotto recently? Is it still tough to win?

I did Drowsy a couple of Fridays ago. It was definitely a little easier ~ and the guy said that he's had weekdays where everyone wins. But it's just kind of random. With summer it may pick up a little, but I wouldn't think AS hard with all the people who went only for Sutton not trying anymore.

A Spring Awakening update:

Went by the box office at 10:45 yesterday and all student tickets were sold out. I bought the first SRO ticket, and at the show SRO wasn't full. And actually, I prefered SRO to the student tickets. You have a full view and the sound is much better. If you don't mind standing, I'd suggest it over student rush.

Visited the city this weekend. We arrived on Saturday at around 11:30 and I decided I'd take a chance and check to see if Spring Awakening had any SRO tickets left. My hopes were incredibly small, but we ended up getting the last 5 standing room tickets for the matinee (and the only 5 tickets they had left for the day in general). So yeah, that was around 11:50ish or so. Hope this helps!

Oh, and just thought I'd mention that I rushed Jersey Boys on Sunday...got there at 6 am to be safe, and there were two people in front of me (they were scalpers). The next person didn't arrive until about 8, and the line was filled at around 9:15 or so. But the first scalper in line actually wasn't allowed to buy tickets, because they had his name on the list as already having bought tickets in the last month. It really is a shame that they're stopping student rush after next week...especially since it seems like they've actually been taking some action against the scalping issue.

Bump...looking for some post-Tony info as well, particularly about Spring Awakening which I'm assuming is a little more of a nightmare than it was before. How early should one arrive on a Saturday? What about Sunday?

I walked by the Spring Awakening rush line on my way to work this morning, at about 9:30am- just a random Tuesday morning, and there were over 30 people on the line (I stopped counting at 30) at that time...I can't even imagine how early people are getting there on the weekend.

SPRING AWAKENING RUSH

i went there today at 5pm and they had the last SRO ticket. Standing to see the show was nevertheless AMAZING! People in the back were more vocal and the view was much better than the front Mez seats I got in Avenue Q.

I would totally prefer seeing the show standing for 26 bucks.

Hm, thanks for the info. That is the last 30 minutes before the box office opens...I wonder how many more people piled on after you saw it. Are they still doing 50 rush seats per show?

Also thankful for the info about SRO--I'll probably end up doing that sometime soon. Rush is a problem for me most days because of my work schedule. I'll be a few minutes from the Eugene O'Neill by subway, but my hours don't allow me to be there at the box office opening. Guess that doesn't mean I can't try for an SRO ticket at lunchtime, though...
