you can put your name in for two tickets. the lotto is at the box office.

If Rent is sold out you can buy Standing Room tickets for $20 at the box office the day of the show. Be prepared to jump on those as soon as the lottery is over.

Thanks for the advice, Patronus.
Is Rent selling out these days?

Since the movie came out, yes, especially on weekends.

They'll sell you standing room even if it's not sold out. I've done it.

I won the same day as C and we had a great time together. It really just depends on luck. What I did was buy Standing Room tickets before the lotto and after I won, sold them (for face value of course) almost instantly to people who didn't win. I would suggest that idea because the standing room tix are only $20. But only do it if the show is sold out. Otherwise, you could waste your money.
