Broadway Boosters (Telecharge) has just opened a digital lottery for The Humans. I was wondering if anyone has tried this lottery/where the seats are/experiences. Thanks!
Ended up winning the lotto for tonight's performance, for a single ticket. My seat was in the center orchestra, row H, seat 114 right on the aisle. A fantastic seat for an absolutely fantastic show. The picture below is the view from my seat.
Has anyone tried the lottery for this show recently? I'll be in NYC in mid October and just wondering what the success rate is in getting a ticket through the lottery. Thanks.
When I won when the show first moved to the Schoenfeld, I had a seat towards the back of the orchestra all the way off to the side. The view and sound were both not great from my seat.

Thank you for the info bway. The show is only selling to 75-80% capacity in recent weeks. Anyone know if the box office is releasing different seating locations (as per slumdog's experience) more regularly these days?
Looks like this board hasn't been active in a while, but I thought I'd provide another data point before the show closes in a couple of days.
I won the lottery for today's (Wednesday) matinee (only entered for a single ticket) and was placed in the center section of the back orchestra (second to last row), three seats in from the right aisle. Wonderful seat -- could pretty much see and hear everything.
Given others' experience on this thread, however, it looks like I may have just gotten really lucky. At least one person next to me confirmed that her ticket wasn't a lottery seat.
On a semi-related note: If you haven't seen this show yet, DO IT. It was far better than I expected (and I had high expectations), and the performances were phenomenal (especially those from Reed Birney and Jayne Houdyshell). I almost wish I could see it again to catch all that I missed.
