$47 Telecharge Rush (Rush.Telecharge.com) lottery
2 tickets per winner
- Platform
- Telecharge Rush (Rush.Telecharge.com)
- Price
- $47 per ticket
- Entry window
- Opens 12:00 AM the day before the performance, per the official show site; closes 3 PM ET the same day, per Telecharge's lottery rules — the show page publishes an open time but no close time. (Telecharge's general rules describe a wider "one or two days before" opening; the show's own page is the show-specific source for this show.)
- Draw / notification
- Winners drawn at 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM, per the official show site. Telecharge's general lottery rules publish no drawing times — this is sourced to the show's own page, not to the rules. Winners must claim within six hours of notification.
- Quantity limit
- Up to 2 per winner
$47 lottery is the cheapest legitimate seat. Telecharge allows only ONE entry per person per performance, no matter how many drawings that performance has — entering twice is treated as abuse and can disqualify you from every Telecharge lottery. Enter once for each performance you could attend; cumulative odds across many days are what improve your chances.

Typically 20–50% off face value
Oh, Mary! has appeared at the TKTS booth (Times Square, Lincoln Center and the Lower Manhattan locations) — same-day discounts of roughly 20–50% off face value. Appearance and discount level vary day-to-day; shorter-running shows and weekday performances are the better bets.
See today's TKTS list →The realistic playbook
- Enter the lottery first. Lowest price, zero effort. Set a daily reminder; the entry windows are unforgiving.
- Line up early for rush on a non-lottery day. Weekday performances are the friendliest.
- TKTS is the fallback. Same-day, in-person — head to the Times Square booth around 3 PM for evening shows.
- If all else fails, compare the resale market on the main Oh, Mary! page — sometimes resale dips below face for less-popular performances.
