Hello, my fellow theatre aficionados! Seeing as how the Broadway Lottery is becoming more popular, I've decided to make a part two to my article: "Tips to Win the Online Broadway Lottery." Hopefully, with these little bits of advice, you'll be able to score those cheap tickets!

1. Check the seating availability


In most cases, lottery winner seats are subject to availability. So, if you want to see how good your chances are for a particular show, you can go on Ticketmaster and check the seats that are available for the date you want to go. If there's a lot of seats, there's going to be a lot of winners, and you might be one of them!

2. Apply for one ticket

Many people feel like live theatre is an experience that they have to share with their family and friends. For this reason, it's very difficult for theaters to sell single seats. So if you're someone who doesn't mind seeing a show by yourself, you have a better chance of winning the lottery this way.



3. Enter when the weather is bad


For obvious reasons, entries are low when the weather is bad. If you don't mind enduring somesnow or rain to watch a show, this is an ideal time to enter.

4. See it before the Tony's

Shows really start to gain traction after they win at the Tony's. So if there's something that you really want to see, you should enter before then, so you can avoid lots of competition for the lotteries.



5. Know that you have other options

If you find yourself having constant bad luck with the lottery (Which, let's face it, is all of us), remember that there's other ways to get discounted tickets. Many shows offer rush tickets (buying them at the box office on the day of the performance) and standing room tickets when the show is sold out.Playbill keeps a regularly updated list of these policies.


These may be less convenient, but the magic of Broadway is always worth it. Break a leg, everyone!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
