Wicked to introduce lottery system

Blockbuster musical Wicked will replicate a successful international system in which cut price tickets are available via a lottery for its Melbourne season at the Regent Theatre.

A limited number of $30 tickets will be made available for each performance in the front row, with a limit of two tickets per person. Names will be taken at the box office two and a half hours prior to each performance, with the lottery drawn two hours before a show begins.

The lottery will begin for performances from Wednesday, July 16.

The system is a massive hit on Broadway, with hundreds of people lining up to take part in the lottery, aiming to get front row tickets for $25.

Wicked commences performances at the Regent Theatre on Saturday night.
