Random Number Distribution Tickets (Lottery) for 1st Day On Sale

For your convenience, this box office uses a Random Number Distribution procedure for all major events.

Random Number Distribution (RND) provides for the fair and equitable distribution of tickets, providing each guest a chance to be first, without the need for long hours of waiting in line.

There is no need to arrive at the Box Office earlier than 30 (thirty) minutes before the scheduled on sale.

RND Policy & Procedure:

  • Purchase tickets for the first day of an "on sale" using CASH, VISA, MASTERCARD, DISCOVER, AMERICAN EXPRESS, AND BY REDEEMING POINTS.
  • 30 (thirty) minutes before the event goes on sale, RND tickets will be issued to the guests in line at the Box Office. Only 1 (one) RND ticket per guest or group.
  • 15 (fifteen) minutes before the event goes on sale, the starting number will be chosen by a member of the crowd (to avoid assumption of the lottery not being conducted in a fair manner), and a line will be formed. Any guests arriving after this time, will go directly to the end of the line.
  • The sales system pulls up the next available seats at the time of the request. Guests do have the option of requesting next available in the different price levels only.
  • An RND number DOES NOT guarantee you a show ticket, only a place in line.
  • RND line tickets are non-transferable and cannot be sold, or given to another guest. Doing so will revoke BOTH parties’ right to purchase.
