According to the New York Times, THE LION KING is about to launch an online lottery, giving fans a chance at $30 next-day tickets. Disney Theatrical Productions ‘ Andrew Flatt , told NYT: “For many years we have explored ways to make more affordable tickets to The Lion King available to the public, but when we’ve tried a student rush in the past, some ticket brokers purchased the tickets at the rush price and resold them for much more than their face value.”
