Phantom Daily Digital Lottery!

Thanks for all the advice! Do you know where your seat is after you purchase online, or not until you pick it up at the theatre? Would you end up with a better seat if you pick up the ticket sooner rather than later?

You won't know the seat location until you pick it up at the theater. And the last time I played the lottery for this (summer 2016, full disclosure), we picked them up 30 minutes to curtain and we were in BB, so I'm sure they are pre-printed not long after you pay.

I've seen this show several times since and I'd stick to front orch, which are usually the lottery seats anyway. The last time I was in the mezz for this show, someone sat on the aisle stairs right as 'Masquerade' was beginning (they were complaining of their legs hurting very loudly during intermission) and I was totally taken out of the moment for a good 10 minutes while an usher prodded them from the stairs. Just another story to share of my Bway adventures

Good luck with the lottery!

In general, I tend to notice that I get better seats if I purchase very soon after getting the winner email, though that's across all the Broadway lotteries, not just Phantom, but it never hurts to be early.
