Posted: 7/15/18 at 1:56pmHow many people usually show up for the Saturday matinee or Sunday matinee lottery for BOM on bway? Asking so I can plan accordingly!

Posted: 7/15/18 at 2:19pmAs discussed elsewhere, not that many, but there’s no knowing how many will show up on any given day. Not sure what planning is invoked, though, just show up before they pull names. If you win, see the show. If not, have Plan B. Once on this island lottery is 30 minutes later...

Depends on the day the number of people but I definitely suggest getting in the standing room line if you want to make sure you get to see the show. The lotto person will come over to the standing room and give out slips so you can enter lotto, but also remain in your spot in line.

I went on July 5th. About 70 people entered. 14 tickets given out. I was one of the lucky ones and loved the show!

Summer has certainly added to the numbers. I did a Saturday matinee in the spring and there were barely 25 people there. I still didn't win! heh

I went today (sunday July 15th) and there were about 50 people there, but they had 56 tickets to give out. Everyone who entered won and then they still had tickets left over. It really does just depend on the day, but it is definitely worth trying.

The First row tickets are the ones first called?
How many of these normally?
Should I take SRO if I cant get first row instead of the other tickets in the lottery?

The first 14 are front row while the additional seats can be all over.
Some of the additional seats may have a slight limited view but it is just entrances and exits. I’ve sat in the rear orchestra and boxes and never felt like I missed anything. It really comes down to if you’d prefer to sit or stand, but no matter which you choose will have a fine view in my opinion.

Sunday evening had about 60 people and 14 tickets. The 14 front row center seats are the lottery locations. The add-on seats (which are not always available) are the cheapest and/or more undesirable locations for a nearly sold-out performance that they want to remove from the inventory in order to sell unsold top-price tickets.

The in-person lottery is ending Labor Day weekend. Man. I really didn't think they'd get rid of it. I wonder: Was it more trouble than it was worth after a while?

It had to be a burden given how few people were turning up sometimes... easier to just put those tickets in the digital lottery or sell them.
