- 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.
- If all else fails, compare the resale market on the main The Rocky Horror Show page — sometimes resale dips below face for less-popular performances.
