Phillyoz said: "I am coming from Australia and will be trying the cancellation line for a Wednesday matinee on June 21. Have investigated the best I can and have the following questions:
1. What time do people start these days? I've seen everything from midnight to 6am
2. I read that matinee is often easier to get than evening. Anyone able to comment on this?
3. Can someone please confirm that I will be there until

Hey @bwaykelly, we got our unclaimed lottery tickets for $229, and if I'm not wrong they're priced at whatever the non-premium house seats cost for that day/season (from what I've seen, it could be $177/199/229) SRO depends on the day of, but there tends to be very little, around 3/4 tickets, and normally released very late (another line sitter got hers at less than 5 minutes before) hope that helps!

Feel like I've joined a special club but I can finally share my experience today ?format=auto&width=600 did the line today for the matinee on Saturday, May 6th. My boyfriend and I joined the cancellation queue at 5.30am, and were 4th in line. 1st (single) got there at 3.20am, 2nd (line-sitter) got there 3.30am and 3rd (pair) got there at 4am. We were in a pretty good spot and we bought a cheap pillow to bring along after reading about how it helps and it definitely did. Another woman (pair) joined at 6am, then another couple after them at about 7am. The line got longer after that with a couple of singles and pairs at 7.30am and 8am, but after about 9am the line was going past the marquee and people who came by to join the line just walked away - I suppose they thought their prospects were bad?
At around 8.30am, a woman came by in a bicycle and approached the line sitter, and said something along the lines of "I never said Hamilton, I said 45th Street! The guy's already on his way!" The line sitter got up and left and a while later she came back to ask what time we all got there and said "you just saw a line sitter get fired." It was really intense. Poor guy.
At 10am, the box office opened up and the guy came out to count the number of people in line and said that tickets today were a range, from $229 - $849. He came out again shortly after to just ask if anyone wanted premium tickets but no one took them.
At about 11.30am, they started calling us in. As we later learned in the theatre, the first 11 of us got second row tickets! (Unclaimed lottery) Absolutely insane tickets.
All in all, it was a great experience and everyone in the line was very pleasant and like most of the posts on this thread it really didn't feel as long as it was. The cast was brilliant and the show was so worth it.

Hi - quick question. On Matinee days, what time should we go if we hope to make the evening show?

Hi all, my boyfriend and I are planning to queue for tickets tomorrow (5 May) or Saturday (6 May) - if you're in New York and would like a pair of tickets we'd be happy to get yours if you help get ours! PM me to let me know.

Hey everyone!
Posted a couple of weeks back but I guess it was too early - my boyfriend and I are going to New York next week and are going to queue at the cancellation line on either Thursday (4 May), Friday (5 May) or Saturday (6 May) - if you're interested getting us our tickets in exchange for a pair of your own, do let me know!
Thanks!

Hey everyone, I've been following this thread since late last year. My boyfriend and I are going to New York in the first week of May and hope to catch the evening show on either May 4th/5th (Thursday/Friday). Cancellation tickets seem like the only way to get in since the resale tickets are so ridiculously expensive. What time should we arrive to make sure our chances of getting in are high? Do we still need to arrive before dawn? We were hoping to go there around 9am.
