Scores of people still show up regularly, even in the winter. It's truly hit or miss.

It's lottery, not rush. But yeah, even on the crazy cold days when it was single digits, there were way more people than tickets. And March is kind of in the middle of rolling spring breaks, so... It's going to be crowded.

Yeah, but it is lottery, so you if you try it, you don't need to get there early, since that won't give you any advantage over the people who enter their names ten minutes before they announce the winners.

I searched the message boards so no one would yell at me for useless posts....
Has anyone done the Wicked Rush lately? My partner and I are going to try and do it for Friday Night.... Is it really tough?
Are they front front row? And are they good seats? I mean really for 20 bucks I guess it does not matter seeing as you get to see Wicked right? But I thought I would ask...

General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

It's like 26.50- front row, amazing seats

and that's why it's almost a miracle if you do win.

Is it usually like millions of people lined up or just dozens....

Two will increase your chances slightly. It's generally well over 100 people who show up.

I'll keep my fingers crossed. If I was going to be in town, I'd come and help you out, but I'll be in DC seeing Alice and Emily!! :)

Good luck and happy birthday to your partner! :)

Very ironic! We can wave at each other on the road. Actually one of my friends called yesterday and managed to get a cancellation ticket, so we've been completely freaking out since then. :)

SOOOO very excited!!

I hope y'all have a GREAT time in NYC!!

What about Saturdays in early June?
(Mat)

Are they still crowded?
Do they often have tickets to buy at the box office early that morning?

From what I gather, the Wicked lottery is ALWAYS busy. Always. Even when it's crappy freezing cold weather. Even when it's boiling hot weather.

As far as day of, the only things besides lottery I know of are cancellation tickets at full price.
