re: Today Tix for On The Town?

I have tried to use their app for quite a few of their lotteries, many times over. While it's a nice idea, I have never won. They usually only have a couple of lottery seats available (for Hamilton, it was only 2 per performance).

They also charge $10 per ticket for the service and it's luck of the draw as to where your seats are. For me, I'd rather skip the $10/ticket fee, find a decent discount code, and go directly to the box office and know where I'm sitting (since that is exactly what they do).

It should be noted that the $10 does not apply for lottery tickets. At least it didn't when I won for On the Town a few months ago.

I agree that going to the box office with a discount code can get you the same or better seats without a fee. I've only used TodayTix when I have people in town visiting and we are spending the day away from midtown and decide to see a show that evening. Getting to the box office can take time away from what we're doing during the day, and buying from the Telecharge or Ticketmaster mobile sites takes several minutes. With TodayTix we can see what's available for every show, get a reasonable idea of where the seats will be, and make the purchase in just a minute or two. Worth the $10/ticket fee for me in those cases.

Any discount code tips for OTT?

Since you mentioned it... for an out-of-towner who isn't a member of any orgs like TDF, that is. Anything as good or better than what one can find on Today Tix or at the TKTS booth?

The discount code that is out there now (the only one I can find, at any rate) is for $79 - $109. Geez... $109 is the discounted price. It's currently on TKTS for 50% off, so you'll get a better price there.

I've had a bunch of friends win their lotteries--On The Town and Fun Home (never Hamilton).

I've heard from the box offices at both, that there are 20-30 tickets per performance.

As per the fees/location, I've gotten great seats in the few times I've used them. The agent told me that they get the best available tickets at the time of your purchase directly from the box office, so obviously if its a hot show and there aren't any good seats left at the box office, TodayTix isnt going to miraculously have great seats. It's just best avail when you buy them.
