12 arts days of Xmas: Day 6 - "Wicked" lottery

Day 6:  A pair of tickets to see the national tour of "Wicked" at the Murat may be beyond your means if bought the old-fashioned way. But that doesn't mean you can't take a friend as a gift at a surprisingly lower price.

The production has been hosting a day-of-performance lottery for about 20 $25 orchestra seats per show (cash only).

To land a pair, you need to show up 2 1/2 hours before a performance. Your name will be put into a lottery drum. A half hour later, winners are picked who can then purchase up to two tickets. That's when you call your friend and tell him or her to get over to the Old National Centre.

So far, I'm told, just about everyone who has shown up has gotten tickets. Of course, that may change as word gets out.

For a half hour time risked—and $50 invested—you could make a friend very happy.

Oh, and here's a link to my review of the show.

Your thoughts?

  • Has anyone tried this and had any luck? Is this good for the 29th?

    Curious if anyone has tried this. It sounds too good to be true?

      My friends did this on Friday night. They live by the theater, so they decided to walk over in time for the lotto to give it a shot. They said the seats they got for $25 each were decent.

    1. These higher rates Co. e about only because physicians are now hospital employees. otherwise physicians couldn't charge these rates and share the windfall with the hospital. Community/rural hospitals probably not buying physicians practices and thus weren't getting the windfall anyway.

    2. The incentive for poor people to get themselves off public assistance and "no longer be poor" is even with help...they're STILL POOR! Being poor, even with some assistance, isn't all that pleasant. (I speak from experience) It's a stubborn myth that poor people, who are on public assistance, are sitting in the lap of luxury. You should try living on just those "freebies" that you mentioned and see how meager they actually are. By the way, I didn't mean you had to buy/own a puppy...just pet one. :)

    3. As near as I can tell the minority has ZERO constitutional obligation to offer a quorum to the majority. A requirement for quorum was inserted into the constitution so that tyrannical majorities could not simply shove through odious and objectionable legislation (which is exactly what they did.) By allowing a tyrannical majority to charge fines against the minority for exercising their constitutional prerogative to deny quorum the court as made a mockery of constitutional governance in the state of Indiana.

    4. The voters elected the Reps to make a vote not walk out on the vote. They had to the right to exercise their opinion and vote "no" to the bill. Let me ask you this if you walked out of your job for 5 straight weeks would you get paid? Would you even have a job to go back to? If any elected official walks out on the people they should be arrested for stealing tax dollars from the public. They were elected to do a job and not leave when the job gets stuff.

    5. I have been to several of their locations in Pennsylvania and always go in for 1 item and leave with a basket full of things. I'm very happy they decided on Indiana, now if only they would put the other store in eastside.
