im going to be in NYC in a few months, and i was alway wondering how does the lottery work? like where do i go and around what time (for an evening show during the week), and its single tickets right? ill be with my sister, so there is a chance i can get in and her not?....
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.
They'll sell you standing room even if it's not sold out. I've done it.
Idina: Somehow I got myself to the stage, came out at the end of the show, and I had some kind of closure.
Some guy: You looked great!
Idina: Thanks...I WAS SO HIGH!

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.
