Reporting live from Shakespeare in the Park — Twelfth Night — Public Theater Ticket Lottery

Hello! Stealing u/Big-Principle-593's format, since I thought it would be interesting to see report on the different ticket distribution centers and I didn't see one for the Public Theater distribution yet.

I arrived outside Public Theater at around 11:45 AM and there was a short line of approximately 15 people to put their names down for the lottery.

The lottery was a bit delayed due to technical difficulties and they started drawing names at 12:15.

Based off the ticketing system, I assume there are around 300 people waiting in lottery for tickets? It didn't seem like that many people actually at the theater though. They weren't sure how many tickets were available.

Please add in the comments if you were there and what you observed!
