Hey, gang - Did ANYONE win? Wondering if the e-mails are just delayed as not one person I know had any luck.

Thanks.

Nope

Nope. I had my roommate enter as well, and no luck.

I'm beginning to think that either NO ONE won or there were VERY few tickets. Because at least 50 people have told me no at this point. Strange...

I'd guess the latter.

No luck here either

FYI - Jordan Roth tweeted me that we will be notified either way and that it hasn't gone out yet!

Yes I won a pair of tickets!!!!!!! Ahhhh I'm so excited! If you didn't win hopefully you'll get tickets from the standby line!

Won a pair also! Wonder how many were available. Can't wait!

Didn't win, but one of my group of four did, so I get to go! Feeling very, very lucky. Hope they record.

A neighbor of ours just won. We did not even enter

Supposed to be rotten weather Monday. Hope those who go enjoy it.

For those of us who won, I just read on that "Other" message board,

Although the e-mail doesn’t say you need to respond, the rules state

Failure to respond to the initial notification e-mail within twenty-four (24) hours after transmission thereof ..... will result in disqualification and award of the ticket(s) to an alternate winner(s)

EDIT: Never mind. Just got an email saying this isn't necessary. Updated On: 11/15/14 at 03:27 PM

Does anyone have a sense of how long tributes like this usually last? Wondering if I could fit in the 6:30 Side Show opening also.

My coworker won!! So excited to go.

Anyone who won need a date?

I never have high hopes for winning these things, but actually won! So excited I'll actually be able to go too. It is the one afternoon during the week where I am not working too. Should be quite the memorable afternoon.

A friend at Jujamcyn told me that the line tomorrow will only be recognized come 1pm. So, any unofficial line that forms will NOT be recognized. Only when a rep is there will they welcome the line to form.

^^ Sounds like chaos, with so many people pacing around at 12:45p but not officially in line. They should have just given all the seats they knew were available to the lotto and not encouraged queuing up.

Well, if anyone has an extra ticket, I'd truly love to go. I love Elaine so dearly. You would earn my undying love and some sort of delicious baked good!

I agree. Elaine inspired me to go into the theatre. I organized the tribute at The Metropolitan Room and create the lip-syncing video of Ladies Who Lunch featuring Beth Leavel and more. It hurts my heart that I can't be there.

I'll be there tomorrow in standby to try and get a ticket. But my hopes, sadly, are not very high.

I got a ticket from a friend! I'm so excited!
