As was previously announced, James Van Der Beek, Michelle Williams, Katie Holmes, Joshua Jackson, Mary Beth Peil, John Wesley Shipp, Mary-Margaret Humes, Nina Repeta, Kerr Smith, Meredith Monroe, and Busy Philipps are coming together for the first time since the series wrapped 22 years ago for a one-night-only charity event on Sept. 22, in partnership with F Cancer.
And while tickets went quickly when they went on sale a few weeks ago, PEOPLE can exclusively reveal that the event has launched a lottery system for $25 tickets.
The lottery opened on Broadway Direct at 10 a.m. ET on Tuesday, Sept. 9, and will close at 3 p.m. ET on Monday, Sept. 15. Once the lottery closes, winners will be notified within minutes and will have 60 minutes to claim and pay for tickets.

The event at the Richard Rodgers Theatre will include a live reading of the show’s pilot episode to benefit F Cancer and Van Der Beek, who was diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer last year. Philipps, Smith and Monroe, who joined the hit WB show in season 2, will read various other roles from the pilot.
Dawson’s alum Jason Moore is directing the event, which is produced by Carl Ogawa, Moore, Williams, Thomas Kail, Maggie Brohn, Kevin Williamson and Greg Berlanti. The show aired for six seasons from 1998 to 2003.
“We grew up in Capeside and that’s a bond that will last a lifetime,” Williams said in a statement upon the event’s announcement. “We wanted to gather around our dear friend James and remind him that we are all here. We always have been and we always will be. And I know the fans of Dawson’s Creek feel the same way.”
“This has been months and months in the making and it’s finally all happening!!! Join us in New York City on September 22 for a memorable evening to celebrate our dear friend, James Van Der Beek,” Philipps wrote on Instagram.
