ποΈ lotteries
broadway lotteries are a fun, thrilling way to see some of the best theatre in the world for an affordable price. let me clear up some of the questions you might have: broadway lottery 101!
broadway lotteries are always free to enter.
when entering a lottery, you choose how many tickets you'd like to enter for, usually 1 or 2. seats will almost always be together.
all lotteries require you to enter for a specific showtime.
there's no guarantee you'll win, so lotteries are an option best suited for locals who don't have to plan travel and have flexible evening plans.
if you win, you are presented with the option to purchase the number of tickets you entered for. there's no obligation to fork over your hard earned money, but lottery ticket prices make it hard to say no!
there's usually a very short timeframe for purchasing won tickets after being notified, so pay attention to your email. if you miss the purchase cutoff time, the tickets are released to the next person on the lottery waitlist.
most ticketing platforms have ways to transfer tickets, so if you can't attend a show you won, you have a great opportunity to share the wealth with your lucky friends!
NOTE: some lotteries require you to connect your social media accounts to their platform to enter. none of my links will bring you to these lotteries as they require too many permissions to access social media, in my opinion. feel free to enter them though, if you feel comfortable with it.
I just discovered this Chrome browser extension which makes entering the Broadway Direct lotteries a lot quicker and easier!
