Some people stand the whole time, some people sit. Older people seemed to not want to sit. I'm young, so I sat most of the time. Most of the people seemed to stand though. Don't know why. I don't care if the ground is dirty and gross, there is no way in hell I'm standing for 6 hours straight.
I'm actually the opposite. I was one of the people who showed up in the mass crowd after the lottery went haywire. At 5pm the line was already 40 people long for cancellation, so I just left and decided to stick to my original plan of getting there early for the Wednesday matinee. Got there at 8:15 this morning and was 6th in line for a ticket. First person got there at 5:30. I froze my butt off considerably, but got my ticket by 11:30 since I was a single ticket and 4 people before
I know you're allowed to pass on the premium, however, if you're looking for the mezz seats, but are first offered the $199 orchestra seats, are you allowed to pass on them and wait?
As with most shows, i'd aim for front mezzanine or middle orchestra. Either option, try to stay in the center. Near the aisles on any side, as long as it's orchestra, will be really cool too for this show, based off the opening number. The best play to do this is just by paying full price on whichever website Lion King directs you to. Probably Ticketmaster or Telecharge. It seems like you're prepared to shell out money; you'll definitely have to for this show.

Okay so I was first at 8:45. Next guy at 9:15. Next group of friends at 9:55. Everyone easily got tickets. However, the tickets are in the very last row of the mezzanine, and people behind us are on the sides. My theory is that they're selling so well they wanted to get full price money for front row, and instead give away the weaker seats to rush/for cheap.
Haven't yet seen a post about the rush tickets for SoR. Anyone have any details? Where are the seats? How early have people been getting there? How many do they sell? Etc.
"If anyone is interested in seeing the show, but is hesitant because of the reviews, lottery might be the way to go. I wasn't there tonight but a friend was and said that there were 30 tickets and only 17 were claimed."
Just my luck. I went on Wednesday night, came all the way in from NJ, and lost the lotto. 32 tickets, and about 45 people were there. Had to go to TKTS and get a 50% off ticket, for $75. Although the seat was fantastic, so I c
I showed up at like 10:10 about two months ago and got a perfectly fine front row Mezz seat for a Saturday night show. It's not in high demand at all (unfortunately).
