Rush/lotteries during Christmas

Posted: 12/20/18 at 5:14pm

I am hoping someone with experience getting tickets during Christmas week can give me some advice. I am coming to the city 12/23-27 (Sunday-Thursday) with my family. My mom and I plan to enter the Wicked lottery on Sunday, get rush tickets for Lifespan of a Fact on Wednesday and possibly rush something else on Christmas Day with 4 people. I have been reading promising things about my chances for the first two shows, but will the holidays make for much longer lines? If so, I will look into just buying tickets asap. Thanks!

It's very hard to say. Christmas week is when many tourists come into the city.

Lotteries are hard to win in general. The in-person ones tend to be a bit easier.

Most tourists tend not to do rush, because their time is limited. So you may have luck there. Just get there early.

Make sure you check the Playbill schedule for Broadway shows. On Christmas Day, most shows will be dark.

Here's the schedule this week:

I would suggest getting tickets in advance for anything you really DON'T want to miss.

I am definitely only bothering with the in-person lottery for Wicked. I know better than to hope for anything online. That schedule is also very helpful! Thank you!
