I thought the running theory on resale tickets is that the venue gets a cut of the fees too. Not sure if I've ever seen this confirmed. If true, perhaps this lessens the sting a bit knowing that some of that extra went to the production rather than TM.

Or are those tickets only sold through the cancellation line?" Ticketmaster tickets for Hamilton are non-refundable, even if one wants to "cancel". So the answer is no.

I managed to get tickets through the Amex sale. $229 for Orch row R near the aisle during Thanksgiving week, 8pm show. A day or two after ordering I received this message from Ticketmaster: For big events it takes time to ensure all orders are from real fans.
