Someone just posted on ATC that it was cancelled? What's the deal?

Well that would just...stink. I was planning on trying my luck at lotto on Saturday. Well, shows how good my luck actually is. Heh.

fyi there is no Saturday night Suttonstein lotto- or, at least, they weren't pulling for any Saturday nights that day they did the first two weeks worth of previews lottos, and there also wasn't a lotto last Saturday night.

At ATC they're saying lotto cancelled for this week, which I would presume includes Saturday. Anybody have more info? No big deal if it is cancelled, I'd just like to be sure before Saturday morning. Thanks.

Oh, Anakela, I know there isn't a Saturday night lotto. They do have one for the matinee, though. Playbill put up the lotto policies (and other information) in early September.

Is there a lottery at all? Cause I have checked talkingbroadway.com and it hasn nothing about Frankenstein. Will there be a lottery or rush for the matinee on Sat?

Well, when you're one of the few shows in town, why would you bother with a lottery when you could sell those seats for $450 and get it? I haven't been down...no interest in it (that was before watching the thing on NBC today...which only DECREASED any minute interest I might have had), but I'd imagine the lottery went away because of the strike and them knowing they could sell those seats for full premium prices.

Ditto I'm curious as well - I was going to try this after returning my Little Mermaid ticket. Also has Xanadu discontinued their rush once again?

I just called the Hilton Theatre box office and the woman there says there still is a lottery for Young Frankenstein, 3 hours before show starts.

Question: If I were to try for lottery tickets on a Wednesday matinee...what time do I have until before it closes? I have a flight getting in that morning and curious if I'll make it or not...

Thanks in advance!!

I did the lottery last Wednesday matinee and I'm pretty sure you'd have to be there by 11:45 to put your name in. Best of luck. When I did it there were only about three or four people who didn't win so your chances should be good!

I had a question about the lotto over there, is there ever a slow day like maybe for the Wednesday matinee during the school year?
