Just won the lottery for DEH which is amazing, but it says seats are "frequently in standing room or for partial view". Anyone experienced this or know how likely this is?

I won recently as 1 ticket. I was in the 1st row Orchestra way over audience left. Was OK but they have this high black wall around the apron of the stage so you sort of feel like you’re sitting in a hole. I heard it’s sound related. But I got used to it. Enjoy and congrats!

Same here, when I won the lottory it was far left front row. It was the second time I had seen it and honestly thought it was so amazing to see that close cause you could see every last twitch and tear in the actors faces! It is partial view in the sense that sometimes the actors will have their backs to you and it’s definiely a weird angle, but still an amazing experience! And if they offer you standing room when you get there, that’s an amazing head on view so you’re good either way! Congrats on winning!

I won in April and got standing room. Not bad at all.

Not sure if things have changed, but I won in February and the seats were great.  Orchestra right, aisle, unobstructed view about halfway down.  I purchased my tickets within a minute and a half of the winner email being sent out if that means anything.

Yeah me and my older sister won in January after trying the lottery for a year. We got standing room. I was sad at first because of how excited I was to win but honestly the show was so amazing that by the end I didn't really care that I was standing the whole time

I won a pair of seats in January for the matinee performance. Front row, left side, seats 1 and 3! Fantastic views!! If you’re short (like my wife), make sure you get a seat booster to see over the front of the stage! We tried for about half a year until we finally won!
