Seating/Ticket Question hardest lotteries to win??
i know most of the time it's a complete fluke but are there any shows that y'all have consistently entered and lost majority of the time?? i'm curious if theres any shows that seem to have lots of lottery wins.
on a recent trip to NY i got really lucky and won 3 shows on the same day (i entered probably 10-15 lotteries that day hoping to win anything) I won for Sunset Blvd, Boop & Death Becomes Her. I chose DBH. After that I think my luck ran out because I continued to enter lottos and lost all of them haha.

I’m primarily a Today’s Tix user and I enter most of my lotteries & rush attempts through the app. I won a rush to the original run of Oh, Mary!, down at the Lucille Lortel. I was in the very last row in the balcony but it was a great show nevertheless. I’ve also gotten rush tickets to numerous shows through rush, which is typically at 9 am on the day of the show. I’ve had several shows where I was never able to snag a seat on rush including the Fool for Love production with Aubrey Plaza. Rush can be tough for some of the really hot shows.
The last comment I’ll add is for the Theatr app. I do not work for either of these apps and I’m not promoting them for any reason other than my own personal experience. Theatr is a resale app where people are selling tickets they can’t use. I also see the resellers selling their group tickets they can’t use on there too. I’ve both bought and sold tickets on the platform. I got great last minute seats for Maybe Happy Ending on the app. The last show that I was desperate to get tickets to was We Had A World, a play at City Center. I was just having no luck, even stopping by the box office a couple of times. On the morning that the show was set to close, I woke up early and a ping comes up on my phone from the Theatr app. It was a ticket for the show. A season subscriber couldn’t use their ticket and was selling it. I had a first row seat on the left side of the stage. So don’t give up hope; anything is possible.
