Yea people have said that on the weekdays they showed up after 10 and got a ticket. Plus since theres two shows everyone will want tickets to the night show. So if you get there by 8 or 9 you should be fine.

January is the SLOW month....you can get to most shows at 1/7:58 and have no problem getting a ticket.

Um, not with Spamalot.

Hence, "most shows" :)

The Spam SRO line hasn't been that long of late....last I saw it it barely went past the first picture window.

But their question was about Spamalot specifically, so your post was a bit misleading.

why do people like the night shows more?

It's not so much the fact that they like night shows more (even though matinees are often referred to the early bird special of theatre), but more the fact that you're average theatregoer (not a tourist or visitor, Im talking about) is in their office during the day. An evening show is much more plausible for most New Yorkers.

I showed up around 10:30 and there was no line and no problem getting standing room tickets and I got great spots (1 and 3)Standing room was full when the show started though-i guess people aren't doing the early thing for wed at 2 right now

I was curious about checking this out some time. For most nights, how early do you show up for Spamalot SR tickets? When the box office opens?

It's been my experience that people are there way before the box office opens.

However, that's probably changed since my days of spending all my time backstage at the Shubert.
