Let's stop right there. There is no such job description in a theatre. You are, as I suggested, imagining that there is. From the management's perspective, the "rule" is as Anakela stated. Beyond that, this is not much different than when people stand in a line thinking it is for ticket pickup only to discover it is for ticketholders (or v/v) because that's what the person in front of them said.
No one has a problem wrapping their head around your frustration; the issue is the amplitude of your reaction. Next time maybe a little more
and a little less
might be good.
@Anakela, there were "outrages" expressed here because people insisted they were entitled, for one reason or another, to be in line. One particularly memorable one was from someone who approached from the east side and insisted that the Public was discriminating against east siders because they only recognized a line on the west side.
"You keep saying were entitled but I think at this point you are just plain refusing to understand because you are so caught up in wanting to be right. If being entitled means that I wanted the ticket i rightfully waited for for days following the rules set forth by the theater then bingo, you're right. You weren't there so I don't know why you are trying so hard to deny what it was that happened when I who was there am literally telling. So i will tell you again, THE THEATER WAS USING THE LIST. THEY THEMSELVES CALLED OUT NAMES FROM THE LIST. THEY WORKED WITH THE LIST FOR 4 DAYS SO THAT THEY COULD NARROW DOWN WHO IT WAS THAT WENT INTO THE LINE OF 20. THE THEATER TOLD US WHEN TO LEAVE. THE THEATER TOLD US WHEN TO COME BACK. Can you read now thats it's in bold? Are you able to understand fully what happened in regards to the theater and the list now that it's bolded for you?
The ticket lines and are all separate from the cancelation lines to help aid the traffic of people trying to get into the theater so I really don't know where you keep finding there experiences that remind you of such and such when they've made absolutely no sense the last 3 times you've said "This reminds me of.."
My reaction is completely justified as it was the theater who told us to come back at 5:30. Again; THE THEATER WAS THE ONE WHO TOLD US TO COME BACK AT 5:30 TO LINE UP AGAIN.
Might be good for you to stop trying to be right when it comes to this because again, you weren't there and at this point you're just flat out refusing to listen to me when I've told you time and time again THAT THE THEATER WAS USING THE LIST. THE THEATER WAS USING THE LIST SINCE I GOT THERE.
You're telling me to stop whining when all i did was tell everyone what happened so that future people going into the cancellation line can know what to expect. The only one "imagining" here is you because you are clearly imaging that I have not told you countless times already THAT THE THEATER WAS USING THE LIST.

The bigger issue here is one that must come from old(er) fartville. Maturation -- character growth -- happens when we learn the limitations of our entitlement. Isn't HAMILTON the perfect vehicle for said growth in 201

That's where you are wrong. You are just imagining that. The only thing "the theater" has done is tell you where you can't stand.
This also reminds me of the CPW overnight line outrages that were catalogued here back when there was a reason to stay in a line overnight to get your freebies.

Even Lin himself said it's getting "a little crazy" outside the RRT.
"not trying to make myself or others look like an angel or anything but we that were in line did follow the rules set up by the theater. Lin himself even came out and wished us all good luck on Thursday. The stage door however is crazy.

Do y'all have nothing better to do than yell at someone online for waiting in a line for several days to see a show? No one is forcing you to do the same and no one is asking your opinion on whether it's reasonable or not. People value time vs. money differently, and we're all at different points in our lives, and I don't understand how someone waiting in a line affects you so much

1. There are no rules.
2. As with every other show in the world:
a. There is no guarantee there will be cancellations. There is also no guarantee they will be distributed to any line, on any basis. If a VIP calls the press agent at 4PM, those tickets will magically become house seats.

Not only yours, but yours and everyone who thinks Hamilton - or any other show, celebrity, star, game, etc - is so important that it deserves 4 days of your life.
If you and everyone else just agreed that nothing is worth sleeping FOUR DAYS in the middle of the bloody street, there wouldn't be a line. People would just show up at a certain time and see if there were tickets or not. Nobody would be frustrated
