If you'd like to drive yourself crazy try winning "rush" on Today's Tix

 OK, I suppose this is a bit of a rant, but has anyone had any luck winning the rush tickets that are offered on Today's tix? Specifically for Streetcar? I have tried daily, and of course should you happen to actually get to the screen where tix are available, they are gone by the time you click to buy. Unless you're a robot, I really can't see how you could possibly win in this set up. I'm all for the idea of rush  tickets being digital, but a lottery seems to be much more fair opportunity…

I have never had any luck with rush or lotteries on TodayTix.

I've never won a lottery but I got the Dear Evan Hansen rush tickets.

I almost got through for Dear Evan Hansen but I think I lost it when I took the 0.5 seconds to select only 1 ticket. I should have just bought two and offered it on here or something, but oh well.

I did manage to get Dear Evan Hansen once after failing several times. And I have won a lottery on there. It was a Roundabout show...I can't remember which one right now! There's a ton of competition, so odds are incredibly low (if not Hamilton lottery low), but it does happen!

My friend finally pulled Dear Evan Hansen rush tickets today after trying for weeks. She also won the Dry Powder lotto.

I've yet to succeed with anything other than simply buying tickets through TT.

I had tickets for Dear Evan Hansen in my cart on Saturday and then the app glitched leaving me with the pleasure of watching my cart expire with the confirm purchase button being unresponsive.

I've won TodayTix lottery tix several times, but the Streetcar Rush feels like a sham.  I've tried every day and every day my phone goes directly from 9:59:59 am to "All tickets are currently in other carts."  I'm convinced there aren't really any rush tickets being offered by the producers.

If someone other than a robot has won, I'd like to know how.

I got Streetcar tickets last week Friday. I also got Nice Fish back when that was at St. Ann's.

TalkinLoud, is there a trick? Or are you just lucky?

I don't live in the city, but come a few times each year. I always leave one day open to lottery tickets through TodayTix and I'm usually successful with winning one. The first time I won tickets to 'On The Town', the second time I won for 'Fun Home' and the most recent time I won for 'Dry Powder.' I always share it on FB and Twitter to better my chances, too. I guess I'm in the minority...but I also try not to be too picky with the shows I enter for and take what I can get.

I know so many people who have won their lotteries, but I've been trying to win She Loves Me tickets for weeks and weeks and I guess I'm really just that unlucky. As for rush, I tried Evan Hansen for like a week but that same thing kept happening to me, so I finally just rushed it last week.

I finally made it today! Between this and winning Hamilton lotto, I think my life is complete, haha. One tip for rushing DEH or anything on TodayTix: The chance is pretty slim to rush the tickets the moment they are released. However, if you stay on the standby page and keep hitting the grey date, when a ticket is available you'll be more likely to get it.

I've had very little luck with the lotteries, having only won for Noises Off, but I managed to get a Dear Evan Hansen ticket for tonight pretty easily. I just kept tapping the standby button until a ticket popped up, and then was able to buy it pretty quickly. All in all it took about five minutes.

Just an update on the STREETCAR rush on TodayTix: I purchased 2 this morning with no issue at all. I kept refreshing the ticket screen and as soon as 10:00 hit, after one notice that all tickets had been added to carts and another refresh, I bought them. So it's definitely not a sham. Definitely sells out quickly, but not as impossible as it was made out to be. Just keep trying!
