A day-of-performance lottery for a limited number of orchestra seats will be held for “WICKED,” which returns to The Paramount Theatre this month.

Two and one-half hours prior to each performance, people who present themselves at The Paramount Theatre box office will have their names placed in a lottery drum; thirty minutes later, names will be drawn for a limited number of orchestra seats at $25 each, cash only.  This lottery is available only in-person at the box office, with a limit of two tickets per person.

Those wishing to participate in the lottery must have a valid photo ID when submitting their entry form and, if chosen, when purchasing tickets. This lottery will not take place prior to the Thursday, October 18 performance.

There are currently seven productions of WICKED worldwide: New York; London; Japan; Holland; Australian/Asian Tour; and two concurrent North American National Tours.

Tickets for the performances in Seattle start at $30 and are available on-line at stgpresents.org, tickets.com and select Ticketmaster locations. Seats are still available by calling 877-STG-4TIX (784-4849) or in person at The Paramount Theatre Box Office (Monday through Friday, 10am to 6pm).
