****ing random generator ffs... I never win at anything... I've lost when it seemed impossible to not win
Wait a second though, can't you also ring box office on the day and book them then? Meaning you could the first one to call and get through?
No you can't, it saves your place even if you leave the page. I remember the last time I was in a queue it said "you will not lose your place in the queue". It gives you an ID number which I assume is based on your IP.
