Hey everyone, I’m a bit confused and worried about something I saw. I was trying to enter a lottery for Broadway show tickets, and I noticed they’re asking for complete control of my X (formerly Twitter) account. Is this normal? It seems really fishy to me. Has anyone else experienced this? I’m not sure if it’s safe to give them that much access just for a chance at tickets. What do you guys think? Should I go ahead with it or look for other ways to get tickets? I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences with Broadway ticket lotteries. Thanks!
yo that sounds sketchy af! i’ve done tons of bway lotteries and never had to give full access to my x account. thats way too much. maybe try luckyseat or todaytix instead? they just need basic info. dont risk ur account for some tix man, not worth it!
I’ve participated in numerous Broadway ticket lotteries over the years, and I can assure you that requiring full access to your X account is highly unusual and concerning. Reputable lottery systems typically only ask for basic contact information such as your name, email, and occasionally a phone number.
This request for complete control over your social media account raises significant privacy and security concerns. It’s advisable to exercise caution and avoid providing such extensive access.
I would recommend exploring alternative options for obtaining tickets. Consider utilizing well-established platforms like TodayTix, Lucky Seat, or Broadway Direct for lotteries. These services have proven track records and dont require excessive personal information.
If you’re set on attending a particular show, you might also consider purchasing tickets directly from the box office or through authorized resellers. while this may be more expensive, it eliminates the risk associated with suspicious lottery systems.
Remember, it’s always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to protecting your personal information and online accounts.
Whoa, that’s definitely not cool! 
I’ve entered a bunch of Broadway lotteries before and never had to give full access to any of my social media accounts. That’s a huge red flag in my book.
Maybe they just worded it weird? But even if it’s legit, no way would I hand over the keys to my whole X account for some tickets. Way too risky!
Have you tried other lottery sites like TodayTix or Broadway Direct? They’re usually pretty straightforward - just need your email and basic info. Or if you’re flexible on dates, the TKTS booth in Times Square can have some decent last-minute deals.
Whatever you do, trust your gut on this one. If it feels fishy, it probably is. Better to miss out on tickets than get your account hacked or something. Good luck scoring those seats though!
