Mean Girls Lottery/Pink Wednesdays

[ggersten]

My daughter is hoping to see Mean Girls this coming Wednesday - and if she does not win the digital lottery - intends to go to the Box Office wearing pink.  (She only has Wednesday afternoon available as she is in NYC for only a few days for college tours.  She has tickets to Come From Away Wednesday night)

How many "pink" tickets are sold for the Wednesday matinee - and what time should she get to the Box Office. 

Also, earlier reports were 150-200 people for day of show lottery for 10 pairs.  Is that still about right?

[droosychap]

I'm not sure how many tickets they give away but the past 2 Wednesdays have been very demanding. I think the first people get there around 11PM the night before and the line starts getting really long around 6am. And thats for the pink rush.

 

For the in-person lottery, she can get there anytime during the lottery time slots and has a chance.

I did the lottery last Wednesday for the matinee and there was about 70 people there. Both me and my friend won for 2 tickets. They were front row dead center. GREAT seats!

It's 20 seats with 2 max.  People camp out overnight for Wednesday pink rush. They also sell standing room. Tuyes or Thursday are easier.

She has better chance with cancel tickets but will cost $200.  I got there at 4pm and got on cancel line. I was first.  While on that line, I submitted for in person lottery but didn't win.  But I got cancel ticket 6th row center orchestra. They're producer seats.  On Wednesdays only the evening show standing room are sold to folks early in morning bc they don't have enough tickets for all who wear pink.

i live across the street from the theatre and walk past it on my way to work/gym every morning. I have walked by at 5am on a wednesday and there have been 10 people already lined up.

ive walked by at 9 am and the line stretches from the box office down to 8 ave. its insane.

thats just for morning rush tho.

Thank you all! She and her mother arrived at 7 am and got standing room tix for the matinee. My wife is now the coolest mom and my daughter is flying high.

How much was your cancel ticket?

[ggersten]

I don't know about cancel tickets, but Standing Room was $30.

The rush tickets for Wednesday are also front row seats as the in-person lottery?

No. But they’re near the front. 2nd, 3rd, 4th, row area. But all the way to the side.

[MadsonMelo]

Hmm.. no partial views tho, right?

[Babsagib]

Does anyone know if there is an age requirement for the in-person lottery?  If I brought both of my daughters, age 17 and 13, would we all be able to sign up?  Thanks for any help.

Well you need a picture ID to claim the ticket. Occasionally the lottery guy will make a joke about it, but he does occasionally say school IDs would work. So I would imagine as long as they have some kind of ID to claim the ticket. Shouldn't be a problem for the 17 year old, but I don't know if 13 year olds even have IDs, do they?

[Babsagib]

Thanks for the info.  They both have school photo ids.. and older one can just use her license.  My younger one is almost 14 and tall.  I'll have her look as mature as possible

Hoping can improve chances for at least the two of them to be able to go.  Thanks again.

So I got my usual "You can still sit with us email" for the digital lottery today - and then tonight at 7:15 I got a text message/email saying that I was 'next on the list' for unclaimed lotto tickets. I clicked on the link and it was just a page to pay - no seat selection.

Has anyone else bought tickets this way, if so- where were the seats?
 

[EvaLyn]

I won the online lotto from an unclaimed seat last week, and I got a row H center seat.  Not sure if that's the norm though.

Wow, that's a great seat!

[greenifyme2]

Our seats were row X 10 and 12 in the orch

[tinytalent]

If anyone has won the digital lottery (not a cancellation ticket) could you share where your seats were?

[MadsonMelo]

Is there rush other days besides wednesdays now? 

[MadsonMelo]

There’s rush everyday

No more inperson lottery

If there is no inperson lottery how are they going about the free pair of tix on wednesdays?
