You can get tickets for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by standing outside

Go get Harry Potter and the Cursed Child tickets today for the Broadway show by just waiting in line! But there’s a catch: You have to stay there all day.

Want to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway? Well, so does everyone else. So it is making it quite difficult to get tickets to the show. Between a broken system for ‘fan verification’ to a lottery drawing every Friday, it seems kind of impossible.

But what’s more important is that, today, 600 lucky fans will get to have Cursed Child tickets! How? Well, you just have to  dedicate your entire day to standing in line outside the Lyric theater in New York City.

That’s right. The show, rather than opening these tickets up to fans who actually had the option for fan verification, decided to release 600 tickets for $20 per show ($40 dollars total). While nice, those tickets mean that you have to stand inside a barricaded area from the time you arrive until 8 pm this evening.

Which doesn’t make much sense. If there are 600 tickets available and each person can get two tickets per show, let the first 300 in line buy their tickets right then and there. And then just continue to sell tickets until there are no longer any.

Having people wait outside in the cold all day long to get tickets that are guaranteed seems insane. When it comes to rushing a show, most the time you’re not sure if the tickets are available but they open the box office and you can purchase them instantly.

This system, where they make everyone wait in line and make a spectacle out of it, isn’t exactly fun.
