Best way to get tickets to Hamilton

Hi!

I will be visiting from Sweden the first weekend of november (wednesday-sunday) to celebrate my birthday. I really want to go see Hamilton, what's the best way to score cheap tickets?

I really don't think I will able to convince my company to pay 500 dollar/ticket :) 

Your best bet is to find someone coming off the subway who looks like they are headed to the theater and might have tickets. Pull them into an alley, threaten them and grab their tickets. Pick an older person cause they don't typically fight back as much.

 

Cool, thanks. I'll bring my Lisbeth Salander outfit for the trip then!



 

 

"Cheap Hamilton Tickets"

You can always try the lottery. It's $10 if you win, but that's a pretty big if... I believe some of us here have been trying for over a year and still no luck... but some people report winning on their first attempt, so you never know!

you can always have a look at stubhub.com. just twenty minutes ago, there were some tickets there for today for $100 (plus fees). you have to be close to the theater and to a printer, but that probably is your best chance, if you do not win the lottery.

Well, good luck.  But, I have to say, there are a lot of other wonderful shows around NYC right now, Broadway and off Broadway as well.  I visited Sweden years ago and it is BEAUTIFUL!  Have a pleasant summer.

I've always wondered how many (thousands of) people enter the lottery everyday.

More than 10,000 people everyday according to the lottery website.

Sweet Jesus. Thanks for the info.

"Cheap" and "Hamilton tickets" should never be used in the same sentence.

In this age of computerization and automation, a willingness to debase yourself just doesn't carry the same currency that it used to . . . dammit.

Karin87, I'm sorry that so many of the responses to your post have been mean-spirited rather than trying to offer any usable advice. Unfortunately, people often have little empathy for those traveling to a different country or whose first language may not be English.

There are very few cheap tickets to be had for Hamilton on Broadway. As new blocks of tickets are released, they sell out quickly from the house and then the scalpers (i.e., resellers) step in and inflate the prices to thousands of dollars. Honestly, $500 is almost (but not quite) a "cheap" Hamilton ticket. 

As a few have mentioned, the daily lottery and the cancellation line are pretty much the only means of obtaining cheap tickets to this show. However, I would caution against getting your hopes up if you go this route because there innumerable others out there hoping for the same success every day. If Hamilton is a "must-do" experience for you, the only sure thing is to have your ticket in hand upon arrival. Unfortunately, that probably means giving in to the scalpers. Good luck, happy birthday (in advance), and enjoy your visit.
