I love how people have to go on detailed rants and apologies about asking a question because the "Board Powers That Be," who have appointed themselves mind you, are going to insult, belittle, bitch and moan via a message board about a question.

Will it really end the world if someone didn't feel like searching, or did search and couldn't find anything? Will your day REALLY be ruined?

Anyway, thanks for asking this question because I'm interested in knowing myself.

I'm pretty sure this was asked earlier. But it'll probably be the same type of lotto as A&A (meaning they'll lotto standing room tickets, so there's no point showing up in the morning for SRO), with twice as many people.

They had regular lotto for A&A, though.

Right, but they also lottoed SRO. So it's basically regular lotto, with a few more tickets.

i had also heard something about lottoing the last row in the mezz, similar to what they did for RENT 10. Although the source not so reliable on that one.

Coolkid, it really is a shame that you single handedly have turned a stellar twelve year run of a poignant and moving Broadway show into an obnoxious joke to myself and everyone else on these boards. It makes me see why people on these boards despise RENT, and as a fan myself you're really starting to turn me against it.

You make me embarrassed to like the show. Good fu*king job.

You're a dumb ass seventeen year old kid who got into the show three years ago. You probably do not fully understand the concept of the show at your age nor are you even aware of the time period it's set in. You are especially not more deserving to see this show over anybody else who would want to see the final cast.

Furthermore, if they do have lotto on the day of the performance, I personally will show up and kick you in the balls if I hear you running your mouth with your speech about how it's your birthday and all you want is tickets for the final show. Or if you start badgering people for their tickets. Or if you start crying because you lose. And probably even if you win just for all the fu*king headaches you gave people on these boards.

If going to the closing show of RENT is the most important thing in your life at seventeen years old, then you must be a real fu*king loser. And your parents did a ****ty job in raising you.

Go fu*kyourself.

As of this moment no one seems to know for sure what lotto is going to be like on the 7th. The lotto crew says everything is subject to change. As far as standing room goes, probably will be lottoed off. Lining up at the crack of dawn makes no sense. And the timing of lotto is still unknown. If it's going to be before normal lotto time (as more than two hours before curtain) there will be some form of formal announcemnt. Right now they're still kicking ideas around.

At least that's what I've been told.

What time should I line up for lottery?

[coolkid11776]

Posted: 9/1/08 at 3:35pm

They are not going to be selling SRO for the final performance

What part of that sentence are you not comprehending?

The part where it doesn't say "Here's a ticket for you, coolkid!"

There are people who can handle this without the incessant public display. Why can't you be one of them?
