So go with me on this one peeps, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. I don't have a particular view on either side, but I'm intrigued if you do as this just popped into my head. If you win a ticket lottery for a musical or play, should you be given a couple of weeks or a month grace period where you are not allowed to enter again after the show in order to give someone else a chance to win? I say this not from bitterness, as I have been fortunate to win several different lotteries, namely Kinky Boots four or five times now. But you do sometimes see on twitter and stuff that some have entered x amounts of times and never win whilst others win three or four times in a month haha. So what do you all think?

I just wish you could enter the lotterys if you don't have a smartphone.

I think by that logic we'd potentially have to stop people who bought a general ticket from seeing the show again for that time period wouldn't we? I think as long as the draws are fair it doesn't matter

You need to consider why they run these ticket lotteries in the first place, they are marketing exercises, they don’t want a bunch of people to ignore them for a month just because they’ve already won, or want to avoid winning for show A because they really want to see show B later.

Surely having to watch Kinky Boots four or five times means you've lost the lottery? anita, if School of Rock is your thing, all you need to enter its lottery is internet access and an email address. No smartphone required.

I think unless there's a (very strict) ticket limit per person/month then we can't very well start limiting lotteries. And also heck if that's what people want to spend their time and money doing I'm not going to stand in their way.
Obviously if they were 'playing a system' somehow I'd have different thoughts, but as they're all random draws, it doesn't really matter if it's the same 10 people or 20 new ones playing.

I like how simple it is to enter the lotteries. I wouldn't want to add a layer of complication.
