If 9 out of 10 people auditioning for a role are white (population standards) it is not rocket science that the chances of the role being cast white are 9 times higher. You might like colour-focus to kick in, but that is the start of the problem.
If 4 out of those 10 people are deliberately cast on color, we have a problem

DEH Holy Toledo...
They just raised prices for Orchestra $299-$399
Mezzanine $250-$299"
I think those are premium/mid-premium ticket prices. If you look far enough out (February and beyond), the cheapest mezzanine seats are $119 before fees.
If I recall correctly, MTC releases 30 under 30 tickets in waves. I think you can only buy them through 4/30 at the moment. The next wave should probably be soon though.

lol... I wasn't even thinking about that! I just took them out of the original message.
IdinaBellFoster said: "Possibly dumb question - from how you worded that you make it sound like you can purchase the tickets for a future performance...is that true?"
Oh, sorry if I'm being unclear. The lottery tells you the results the day before the show. I got my email around 1pm today for the show at 2pm tomorrow. All of today's winners have until 10pm to buy the tickets.
I've been entering on my computer, so you're fine without a phone. If you win, you just have to check your email and purchase the tickets by 10pm on the day before the show.
The loser code also works at the box office if you want to avoid fees.
I just lost the lottery for tomorrow afternoon's show, and the loser tickets are $69.50 +fees. The seat selections are in the front row, extreme side orch, rear orch, and rear mezz.
TheGingerBreadMan said: "This sounds like it will be helpful in preventing the scalpels, but what about tickets which are bought as gifts for other people? The cardholder often does not attend the show with the recipient of the gift. Will there be accommodations set for situations like this?"
From the official website's FAQ:
"Can I give tickets as a gift or give a letter of authorisation for someone else to attend?

I assume you paid the LincTix price, right? I imagine a lot of the performances closer to the end of the run here will be selling out, which hopefully means standing room will become an option."
As it is right now, you can use these to buy tickets before the e-mails even go out."
