Very easy. At least the last few times I've been there, there hasn't been a line at all. Maybe it'll increase a bit in the summer, but I would come 2.5 hours early for lotto and then get in the standing room line if you don't win. You'll probably be first in line. And they give standing room out right after lotto, so you won't have to wait long.
No problem. Also, after they lotto off the front row seats, they lotto off random seats which might be partial view. I personally would take standing room over the partial view.
Anyone have recent updates on SRO -- how early to arrive at the in-person lotto in order to receive SRO seats (and, relatedly, how crowded the in-person lotto has been)? Considering an upcoming Friday night or weekend show (mat or evening).
I pass by there a lot and the standing room line has not been long for a while. I did standing room for it when it first opened and the view is perfect.
When I saw the show relatively recently, I arrived to the in-person lottery probably around five minutes before they did the drawing, and after I handed them my slip, I immediately walked to get in line for SRO. I didn't end up winning the lottery, so I continued waiting in the SRO line (I was probably 8th-10th in line) and was able to get a seat. The view was great!
