I won Moulin Rouge for this Sunday. But I just watched it last night. I’m still debating if I should go again. Updated On: 10/29/21 at 02:20 PM

Just won GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY for tomorrow night. It was my first time entering the lottery...not surprised based on the ticket sales, unfortunately. Saw it a few weeks ago and excited to see it again, and hopefully with much better seats!

Just won the Fiddler tour lottery. Which was weird. Drawing was at 11:00 am. I thought you had to purchase by 3:00 pm. They notified me at 3:00 pm and I had till 5:00 pm. I mentioned earlier in another thread, that my results page doesn't show either being a winner or loser when I entered Hamilton lottery. It still doesn't show anything and I won for Fiddler. Also entered Tootsie lottery (which I already have a balcony ticket for) and the results page shows nothing.

Been playing MR literally every single day though."
Same - Entering MR every single show and so far nothing. Sigh."
Me too, including sharing on every social . I've basically given up on checking daily to see if I won because I clearly have not. I can't believe I won hamilton before MR"
Well, I finally won for tomorrow’s matinee! So there IS hope and they actually are picking winners! Lol. Seat location provided tomorrow. Will update."
For Moulin Rouge today, our lottery Seats were Left Orch H19 and 21. partial view. Couldn’t see up stage at all really, and missed most of everything that happened stage right (couldn’t see Satine at her vanity or the Duke’s box) but for the price, really can’t complain! However, if you have never seen the show before I recommend just splurging on full view or, for one of the lesser partial view seats they sell online. We ended up moving to left orch E5 and E7 at intermission though as we noticed they were empty for Act 1. Much better view but wowww was it close LOL.

Lottery seats are front row right next to the pit. I ended up with center orch on the aisle. The pit is pretty big and the front row is probably 10-12 feet from the stage.

I haven't entered Hamilton lottery in ages, but I went on the app to try for next weekend and I can't even do that. When did they start running lotteries for dates so far out? Doesn't make much sense to me.
I won the American Utopia lottery yesterday for $44. My friend and I were in a partially obstructed box seat but it worth every damn cent because the show was fabulous

The lotteries through Lucky Seat generally have all of the dates for the next week out, so you can enter them all at once. Although Hamilton is the first that I’ve seen pull the winners a week out. Definitely something new since the last tour pre-covid.
Personally, I love it, since it gives me a chance to plan a little better. As someone who is coming from outside NYC, I would love it if all Broadway shows did this. Or at least if they got rid of same-day notifications.

That makes perfect sense because people can plan better and book other shows ahead of the time. Love that Lucky seat does the same with the weekend lottery. I would love if most of shows switch to advance lottery so frequent theater goers can book the tickets ahead. It saves time for everyone.

When you look on the results page what does it tell you? From all my Hamilton entries, my Fiddler entry and Tootsie entry, it just states when the lottery will be drawn. I won the Fiddler lottery, but it still states when the lottery will be drawn. What am I doing wrong?

My seats for Moulin Rouge are Orchestra K23 and 25. Marked as partial view.

Oh I definitely get the convenience of it for sure. But it seems like one big block are released and I wasn't prepared for that. Kinda bummed I missed my chance. I feel like lucky seat is easier to keep track of.

For anyone trying for the Hamilton tour lottery, it doesn’t seem like the app and the website are connected. So you can enter in both places to up your chances.

I won Pass Over and The Lehman Trilogy lotteries on my first try. Pass Over seats were A1 and A3 and The Lehman Trilogy was E17. I also won Thoughts of a Colored Man first try and wasn't able to go. I've entered the Diana and Trevor lotteries once each and didn't win and I've entered the Assassins lottery at least 5 times and haven't won.

I won Hadestown for tonight... seats are Right Orchestra seat 14 in rows C & D. Excited to be so close! I've seen it twice before from farther away.
Does anyone have intel on when Company digital lottery is going to go live? I has assumed that it would open when preview performances began but so far over the last couple of days I'm just getting a "The lottery is currently closed." message every time I check https://companylottery.com/.

not sure if this is the right thread for this, but are they still doing rush? it says so on policy boards, but as far as I know there hasn't been an announcement since reopening.

Is the Lucky Seat website down? I can't log in from multiple devices.
It appears to be down...I cannot login either.
Edit - Site was back up about 1p, I won American Utopia.
I won the Assassins lottery last week, but missed the 30 minute window by about 10 minutes…..

I've won Girl From the North Country, Jagged Little Pill (which I didn't buy), and American Utopia.
A friend also won American Utopia, but didn't buy (same day I won JLP, we bought tickets to something else instead. Won't say if that was an error or not).
I've only been able to enter for weekend/evening before weekend performances, so that's minimized my chances. I've got all my fingers crossed for a Six win, but since it closes the latest, I enter after I've already lost others.

I've won 6 shows in less than 30 days. It's been amazing.
Tina - first try. Orchestrata Row B 2, 4. Stage is high so I couldn't see some parts but it was amazing being that close up
Moulin Rouge - Mezzanine Row P 24, 26. Perfect view for the price. Really enjoyed it.
Six - Left Box seats A1, A2 - Partial View. But most of the action happens in the center. Loved seeing them so close up.
Jersey Boys - Orchestra Row P, 9,11 - show is tomorrow so I'll see how it is.
Jagged Little Pill and Flying Over Sunset - unfortunately wasn't able to go to these shows.
