Won the lotto for last night - seats were the Left Box. Pretty full, but a few rows in the rear mezz were empty and the stubhub prices got to around $50 with fees last night, so seeing this is doable if you're in the city during the slow winter months.

I did the same thing for last Sunday matinee, and again managed to get a seat for $49. Last row mezzanine this time. One hour before showtime

Sorry on the delay, I actually asked if they had any standing room spots available. I tried earlier that day and they said wait a couple more hours because the show wasn't sold out yet. Fast forward to 6pm when the show was about to start, and they said no standing room spots, but asked me if I wanted a $30 seat. It was a perfect premium ($500) isle seat. I was the very last one to get in the theater before they closed the doors and raised the curtain.

I won the lottery for the matinee on Saturday 2/5. Our seats were located in Left Box C 1-2. It was an awesome view- we just couldn't see the drummer.

I’ve been entering the lottery for months and was on standby last night-but the tickets weren’t claimed so I WON!!! I’m finally seeing Six tonight!!!

Yes the show is great. I saw the 80 minute wonder in London in 2019.

BUT

$500 for an orchestra seat is sad.

A very small band and six actors getting paid scale or a bit above does not a $500 show make.

Does anyone who has won the lotto as a standby happen to know when they were notified? I'm on SB now, but am also looking at some tickets for other shows for tomorrow---but wouldn't want to lose these!

Stay on standby! I just kept checking my email between 7:30-8:15 and maybe a little after 8 was when I found out I got off and won the ticket.

Finally won the lotto! Seeing it tomorrow afternoon, won’t find out my seat until an hour before showtime apparently.

Won the lottery for Thursday, Feb 3. Got Orch E111. 6th row center orchestra. Couldn't believe it. What a great seat.

Got E21, all the way off to the side, but I didn’t miss much for this show. Couldn’t see drums and bass and whenever a Queen was way upstate center, which isn’t very often. Had a blast with the show. Mallory was in for Abbie and was fantastic.

I won the lottery for last night's show (Thursday, 02/17), paid by minute four (6:04 p.m. ET), and was seated in AA111 and AA112 — front and center! My friend won for the 6:00 p.m. Sunday show on December 12, paid within 15 minutes, and was in the second row (I believe A9, A11), with a fairly obstructed view.

I don't know what the rhyme or reason is (the faster you pay, the better the seats??), but hope this helps!

Tried to get standing room today (Friday, 2/25) at 5:00. They said they only sell SRO when the show is completely sold out and suggested I come back at 6:00. They did offer partial view orch for $79, which I didn’t take. Came back at 6:00 and 6:30, still no SRO because the show hadn’t completely sold out. No other discounts or other options were available. Decided to rush another show. Hoping to catch “Six” on Sunday!

Actually I work as an usher there...and.they did sell a few standing room seats Friday night. At least 2 - maybe 4 of the 12 they are able to sell were sold. I was stationed at one of the doors and I greeted two standing room ticket holders right before the show started.... so I'm guessing they probably waited until the last minute and were able to purchase them really late. I saw two other people standing who might have come in the other door. I assumed they were also standing room but I don't know for sure. 

We have had standing room for each performance this holiday week - except one performance (I don't remember which one). But we never know if there will be a full house or standing room or whatever ahead of time. Good luck next time.

@KathyNYC2 - Thanks for your response! I’m only in town for a few days, so I didn’t want to risk having no show to see for that spot if “Six” didn’t completely sell out on Friday. I guess we could’ve made it work if we’d been more daring, but I’m happy for the folks who did get SRO tickets last night. We’ll try again for Sunday’s matinee and this time we’ll wait at the theater until the last minute. Thanks again!

My friend went to the box office today at 2:00 (for a 3:00 show) and got a partial view orchestra seat (F-21, the furthest seat on the left side) for $49. They said they weren’t likely to offer standing room for the matinee.

I went an hour before the show last night to ask about SRO and was offered E17 in the orchestra for the same price. It was partial view but decent.

Any recent reports on availability post-Tonys? Seeing Into the Woods matinee today and wondering if it would be too late to snag a rush ticket for tonight's Six when I am in the area around 1pm.

Six doesn’t have rush. They have standing room and cancellation line. Standing room is available for sale as soon as the show has sold out, so check Ticketmaster to see when (but most likely an hour or two before showtime). Cancellation line is basically just the box office reducing the prices of certain seats throughout the day. If you go by the box office at 1:00, you can ask them what the cheapest seats they have available are and they might be able to give you a deal, but more likely closer to showtime, especially if they have a lot of unsold seats.

I am thinking of entering the lottery for Six but had a few questions -

1- How difficult is the lottery to win? I'd be entering for 1 ticket if that makes a difference

2 - Are the lotto seats in a specific location or random?

3 - I'd be going alone and really hate audience participation...are there moments where the audience is asked to stand/clap/dance or anything like that?

4 - Is the show still 'fresh' and energetic? I know some shows get stale and tired after running for a while.

1. I don't think anyone could give you a real answer on that, it all depends on how many people entered that day. I'd imagine weeknights are easier to win than weekends.

2. I've seen the four times via the lottery- twice from the front row of the center orchestra and twice from the house left box seats. It's possible there are other locations given out if that particular performance has wider availability, but I don't know that for sure.

3. There is a bit in the latter half of the show where someone in the front row is asked to get up and dance very briefly. One of the queens picks someone who seems eager. 

4. I last saw the show in December 2022 when the new (but now recently departed cast) cast had their first performance. The energy was quite good. I am hopeful that with the current cast only being with the show about two months now that the energy has remained high.

Just figured I would post a little update here. I ended up winning the lottery on my first try! I got an email alerting me I was on standby at 6pm, then a 2nd email telling me I won at 8:01pm. I paid and got my ticket in a separate email the next day at 10:08am. My ticket was Row A Seat 12 ( second row orchestra ALLLLL the way to the right). When I sat down I was nervous about how much of the show I would miss, but it ended up being a pretty great seat. I only missed a few seconds whenever a queen would sit or stand on top of the stairs in the center of the platform. Also the cast was really impressive and super high energy, I wouldn't hesitate to go back.
