my spring break is next week and i was wondering the best way to get cheap tickets for any day next week. i know its short notice, but i'd take row z if i had to!
You most certainly cannot get any cheap tickets for sure. I'd suggest cancellation line or lottery. Row Z would be utterly fantastic for next week, but it's probably not avilable until June.
Will you be in town the whole week? If you can, keep trying the lottery each day...even when there are 300 entries, it's probably the best odds of any lottery you've entered outside your school cake raffle. Or get QtKt's friend to enter the lottery for you...that person seems to have preternatural luck.
I planned ahead, ordered my tickets several weeks in advance, paid full price ($100 each) and still would have loved to have been in "Row Z!" This was before Wicked bacame a Phenomenom and still I was up in the back of the Mezz. I think it's incredibly naive to expect to get prime seats, at a discount, for the hottest show in town.....
Wicked never offers discounts, regardless (not counting the lottery) so even if you do manage to get tickets, you wont get them for less than actual cost. At this point you will either have to do the cancellation line, or check ebay and brokers for more expensive tickets
The lottery~ You wait on the insanely long line, then you put your name in, saying whether you want one or two seats. If they call your name, you go up to the front (with cash and photo ID in hand) and get your tickets. They are $25 each.

Yeah, I've won all of them multiple times- Ave Q (3 times), Wicked (15 times), Rent (23 times), Hairspray (7 times), and DRS (2 times). Thank goodness I've only had to buy tickets full price a few times!
