Broadway in Atlanta announced via press release that it will offer a couple of exclusive deals for the hit Broadway musical Funny Girl, playing at the fabulous Fox Theatre from July 30 to August 4, 2024.
For those feeling lucky, try your hand at the ticket lottery taking place on Lucky Seat.
The lottery opens at noon on Friday, July 19th at luckyseat.com — see details below!
Those who win the lottery will have an opportunity to purchase tickets for just $39 each.
(Premium seats for this show are as high as $217, after fees are added — so this is quite a deal for the lottery winners.)
If you don’t feel lucky and want to purchase full-price tickets, we suggest you don’t delay, as the show will likely sell out.

There is also a ticket lottery for Jersey Boys, at City Springs Theatre.

How does the ticket lottery work?
The Lucky Seat ticket lottery for Funny Girl will open at noon on Friday, July 19th and will close on Friday, July 26th at 9:30 a.m.
You’ll need to create a Lucky Seat account if you don’t already have one.
You can enter the lottery for one performance, several performances, or every show in the run. It’s easier than ever, because you can enter in one click these days, as soon as the lottery opens.
If you win the lottery, you’ll receive an email or text message from Lucky Seat.
Notifications will start going out at 10 a.m. on July 26th and will continue until the allocated tickets have been claimed.
NOTE that you have a very limited window in which to claim and purchase your tickets.
With Hamilton, that window was just two hours — so plan on checking email compulsively during the lottery.
Winners can purchase either one or two tickets at the discounted rate.
Then, on show day, you’ll be able to pay for and pick up your tickets at the Fox box office, with a photo ID, starting two hours before show time. Your ID must match the name on your lottery entry.
In our experience, the Lucky Seat tickets are excellent seats — we saw Hamilton from the front row, as lottery winners. However, Broadway in Atlanta always runs a disclaimer that the lottery seats may be an obstructed view.
There is also a ticket lottery for Jersey Boys, at City Springs Theatre.
Get Student Rush tickets for $35
In addition to lottery tickets, Broadway in Atlanta will offer special $35 Student Rush Tickets for Funny Girl.
College students simply need to bring a valid student ID with them to the Fox Theatre box office two hours before each performance (see the showtimes below).
This is a great opportunity for students at GA Tech, Georgia State, and Emory University — because you’re already close to Midtown and can get to the Fox on foot or by MARTA.
The Student Rush Ticket price will be valid for all performances, with a two-ticket limit per student ID.
Student Rush Tickets are subject to availability and will be sold from best available, which may include limited view locations.
Performance schedule:
Tuesday, July 30th at 7:30
Wednesday, July 31st at 7:30
