SO HERE’S THE DEAL:

A day-of-performance lottery for a limited number of orchestra seats in the first two rows will be held daily for Green Day’s AMERICAN IDIOT, which will be playing a limited one week engagement. Each day, 2½ hours prior to show time people who present themselves at the Boston Opera House box office (539 Washington Street, Boston) will have their names placed in a lottery drum and then thirty minutes later, names will be drawn for a limited number of orchestra seats at $28 each, cash only. This lottery is available only in-person at the box office, with a limit of two tickets per person.

If you’d rather not risk “the lottery” you can buy your tickets & get details at the Boston Opera House box office, Ticketmaster 1-800-982-2787 or by visiting www.BroadwayInBoston.com.
