Wow! I think I'll try it, but I don't even know if I can get there early enough to get in...

OMG Wednesday night?!?! I would love to do this, but Wednesday night? Are people nuts? I would do like... 8am or so.

If 8 AM is too late to do the Next to Normal rush, I'd assume it's too late to do the Tony Awards rush. Which is why I'm probably not going to do it! The Tonys in HD at home is fine with me. :)

^ My reasoning exactly! And I'm going to do it, if for nothing other than I know I'll regret it forever if I don't at least TRY.

wait, N2N rush. you have to get there earlier than 8am???

Right, but this isn't even guaranteeing tickets like rush is. This is just for the opportunity to put in your name! I mean, I would love to do it but there is no way I am waiting over night.

O exactly. I'm not that desperate or lucky.

@ BillFinn... typically, yes. Haha. Go N2N!

how many people do you think will be out there waiting at like 10:30 wednesday night?

Oh man, I want to do this so bad, but have work. ACK!!!!! I might have to play sick. hmmmmmmmm

Just want to add- I have no one to go with. If I wait from... say about 3am until 8:30, would someone wanna come at 8:30 and take my spot while I go to work?? Do you think since it's an even exchange of people this would be 'allowed'? PM me. I am dying to go!!

On my way home after God of Carnage tonight I passed by folks already sitting online for tomorrow's lotto- y'all are hardcore! I love it.

Wow, that's nuts. As others were saying this doesn't even guarantee a ticket. I MIGHT be able to justify camping out if I'd receive a ticket at the end of it. People are crazy!

So there are already people? Wow. I might wake up early tomorrow morning and wander over to see if it looks like there are 200 people there already. Luckily, I live very close to TS so it won't be putting me out too much.

well I know someone who is going to go and his friend is already there and about an hour ago it was just about 10 people. Who knows how long it will take to reach 200.

And it's supposed to rain all night! That is dedication, folks.

Just got in, its pouring out there! I admire the courage and dedication of those people in line. Good luck to them.

They just Twittered:

TheTonyAwards Make sure to pick up StudentRush lottery pass @ TimesSqInfoCtr (47th & 7th) til 2pm. Drawing 4 tix at 3pm today by stars of @rockofages!

Did they ditch the "first 200 people at 11:00 a.m." idea, or is TheTonyAwards twitter just really confused?

[Pianolin717]

Posted: 6/4/09 at 11:21am

well apparently they started taking names at 10

I'd love to see video footage or pictures of this

I second that - I remember the last lotto or Rent was insane, I can't imagine this.

[HollyDiver]

Posted: 6/4/09 at 2:17pm

I was there early this morning and it was very calm!! A few people got there insanely early (I think the first was 10:30pm last night), but I had to leave the line and go to work. I came back to the line at 10:30 and was able to put my name in. ...Just gotta show up at 3pm now with my fingers crossed!

At the Times Square info center, people can still enter the lotto. I guess there's been less than 200 students. It seemed like after the initial rush of people waiting before it started, not many people have showed up after.

Tony Awards facebook page posted a note that there were still a few tickets available.
