I went to Today Tix to do my daily lottery entry and was surprised to see it's not offered. Does anyone know whether it will be reinstated for the remainder of the run this week? Or are producers doing a last-minute money grab for the final week of the run? I suspect the latter.

What bull****. The producers have an obligation to their investors to maximize their return. If the demand for tickets for the final week no longer justifies a lottery or discounted tickets, too bad. It's simple economics. If I was an investor in a show and I knew that every seat could be sold at full price but the producers were selling them cheaply or giving then away, I'd have every right to be pissed.
And by the way, have you seen the price of tickets for Hamilton? I tried to get decent seats for a Thursday night in November or December, and there were a smattering of orchestra seats (not even great ones) at $342 per ticket. I found some Row D mez, side but not too far side, for $176 and felt "lucky".

"Woah. raised, slow your roll. It was a simple question. "
No, it was more than a simple question. It was a reasonable question followed by the tired refrain of money grabbing producers. Spare me.

"to be fair, they already recouped. "
So? Now they have a duty to maximize profits.

Your arguments are contradicting each other. I can't tell if you're pro-producer or pro-... I don't even know.

Did you repeat the question here because the responses on ATC weren't to your liking?

The OP is entirely entitled to post their question in multiple places, considering it's a question that requests a legitimate response from varying parties of people who might've entered the lottery today or this week. They were just looking for a wider spectrum of answers.
Sh*t, people, calm down today.

Last night I was walking in and the girls in front of me had todaytix envelopes with $37 tickets. I know there was no lottery because I was hoping to try and win better seats. I don't know what seats they were or how much they paid for them though the app, but it seems funny.

Also, last night there seemed to be a pretty large cancellation line and quite a few empty seats in the rear mezz. I would guess at least 30.
