DEH sro/rush/lottery?

[AlexandraCoombs]

Sorry if this is a repetitive question— I can’t seem to find a 2018 thread when I search. Anyway, I was just wondering what Dear Evan Hansen is like atm in terms of getting tickets. I haven’t kept up with their policy in awhile but I’m going to nyc with a friend who wants to see it and I’ve heard sro is what’s available right now. Just looking for some advice.

Back in March I got to the box office around 9:20 on a Saturday morning and got the two center standing room spots for that evening. The only way to get a seat at the same price ($42) is to do the lottery, but I've heard if you're not one of the first 6 you get standing room for that too.

First, to address your question, in general I have heard that it's easier to get tickets than it used to be. Definitely don't have to camp out anymore.

Secondly (and to address the part I bolded), this one is a question for the Moderators. I have been noticing an influx of repeat questions lately, and I think that's because the search section has gotten really broad, in terms of what is searched for. I don't know if this has always been the case, but I feel like it used to be much easier to search for things. For example, if I search a very specific thread, like  "What's next for the [fill in the blank theatre]?" I not only get that thread, but every thread that has to do with that theatre. And sometimes I have to search pretty far to find the thread I'm looking for. And so I can only imagine that things are even harder for people who are trying to search for things like Dear Evan Hansen, for which there are many many many threads. I don't know if there's anything that can be done to fix this, but I thought it was worth bringing up.

To the OP, I wish you luck in getting tickets for DEH! :)

We had tickets waiting at the box office so we went right when the box office opened. There was one couple in front of us, we were second. As it got closer to box office opening time, the line quickly started growing and a lot of people were asking if you were cancellation or picking up tickets then counting how far back they were. The couple in front of us got tickets but after that I’m not sure because we picked up the tickets and left. I’d suggest getting there about a half hour before the box office opens because that’s when we got there and it was just the one couple. This was May 27 so right before a holiday too.

I rushed yesterday (6/16). Got in line at 8 (early, but we wanted to be first in line to grab SRO) and only had 4 people behind us by the time box office opened at 10. The box office agent/manager was able to tell us that 6 SRO tickets were available for the matinee and 4 for the evening. As soon as the box office opened, we got our SRO for the matinee (spots 103, 104), the guy behind us and his friend got the 4 evening SRO. The 2 ladies behind them got the last 4 SRO for the matinee (105, 106, 107,108).  

I'm very happy that we didn't have to wait long to get tickets :)

p.s. If you're short, make sure you ask an usher for a step box - wow, what a difference that bit of extra height made (I'm 5'2" :)

But remember that SRO spots are never guaranteed to be available.  So even if you get there early and you're #1 in line, there may not be spots being sold.... or there could be 20. You never know.

Two Sundays ago I was first in line at 8:30am. There were only 4 SRO spots available that day. I believe they are the ones that are unused by the cast.

Sounds great. Thanks for the advice

On 2 show days do they sell SRO for the evening show when the box office opens or do they release those later in the day?

CarmenA3's first reply above says they sold both when the box office opened.
