What is a Broadway Lottery?
Broadway lotteries are a way for theatergoers to purchase discounted tickets to popular Broadway shows in New York City. Many Broadway shows offer a limited number of lottery tickets for each performance at a greatly reduced price, typically $45 or less.
How do I enter a Broadway Lottery?
The process of entering a Broadway lottery is usually done through an online or in-person drawing. To enter an online lottery, a person must visit the show’s official website and submit their information, such as their name and email address. Rush tickets are usually held at the theater box office a few hours before the show.
Did I win?
Winners of the lottery are notified via email or in-person at the theater, and they have a limited amount of time to purchase the discounted tickets. Lottery tickets are usually available for the same day’s or next day’s performance and can be picked up at the theater box office or printed out at home when received through email.
The biggest issue with entering lottery tickets is finding out which websites to go to in order to enter for a chance to win. This is where BornInTheCity.com comes in.
What is BornInTheCity.com?
BornIntheCity.com is a website that I created for my friends and family to enter all the Broadway shows that currently offer Lottery Tickets as easily and quickly as possible.
I scour the web weekly to find out which shows offer Lottery Tickets and add them to BornInTheCity.com. This way, each day you can just go to one page and have quick access to all lotteries from one place.
Who are Broadway Lotteries for?
Broadway lotteries are a wonderful way for people to see a show they might not be able to afford otherwise or see it for a second or third time.
However, it’s important to note that the odds of winning a lottery can vary depending on the popularity of the show and the number of entries. Also, Lottery Tickets are usually not refundable or exchangeable in case of any plans change or unforeseen events.
Entering a Broadway lottery can be a fun and exciting way to experience live theater, but it’s important to remember that the process is based on luck and there are no guarantees of winning. This is why I enter daily and recommend that you do the same to increase your chances of winning.
My experiences with Broadway Lotteries.
I have won 50+ lotteries and have seen several shows sitting in the front row, including Hamilton. I apply every day at BornInTheCity.com in less than three minutes a day.
Some of my favorite shows that I have seen are:
- Phantom of the Opera 5 times
- Wicked 3 times
- The lion King 3 times
The initial registration takes about 2 minutes per lottery website. Then each time after registering it takes less than 20 seconds to sign up for each play every day after that. Most sites offer social media logins like Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn and I recommend using this form of login as it is makes it quicker and easier to login from phones or multiple devices.
I will leave you with three last thoughts. Enter every day, I hope to see you in the front row at your next show and Good Luck!
