That's unexpected, I checked two weeks ago with a friend's email and have won on the first try... :/ If anybody has a link and won't be using it, please reach out via dm! I think there’s something in the lottery system that makes you more likely to succeed if you’re a new sign-up, but then going forwards it’s increasingly unlikely Sure, that makes sense, that's why I tried it out with my friend's email, to use mine today. Ech, such a shame

I check every time there’s a drawing and honestly at this point I have not had a successful draw in over a year. I don’t know about the success rate of other lottery systems but it feels like a pointless exercise at this point It is when everything goes in the first few minutes after the superfans take them all! I find it rather odd that the lottery allows up to 8 tickets to be booked by 1 person. As far as I can recall, most other lottery/rush/day seat schemes that I've tried or heard about usually only allow 2 tickets per person. If Operation Mincemeat did that then it would allow 4 times as many entrants to win per lottery.

Exactly I think it’s been mentioned before but what happens is the superfans buy the 8 each for pretty much every show and swap them around between themselves and sell off what they don’t use on socials. It’s wrong and should not be the case but like with everything else for this show it’s a strange way to do things

It's separate to the lottery, it's for full price seats, but for the most popular/cheap nights before going on sale to the general public. Saying that, on all the dates I clicked on, only the back row of the upper circle was available...

This is the ballot that gives you first access to the new extension dates so you can snap up the much more popular Monday tickets. It's not the £25 ticket ballot - that happens every other week on a Wednesday.

Had the code been applied to your search?

Had the code been applied to your search? Yeah, maybe they were in baskets at the time. It's only showing me the odd single seat on most Mondays now. Not too fussed, I'd be more interested in dates in the next booking period.

A mail out just went out with an American phone number and an extension, so I obviously called it and it goes to a recorded answering service saying that the broadway cast are still pending, and then to leave a message. You then hear several voicemails from Monty suggesting people like Tom cruise, Tom hiddlestone etc to play him. The voice playing Monty is definitely not Natasha, not sure if that’s significant though.
