Broadway.com has additional Hamilton tickets for 2017

I was checking Broadway.com and was surprised to see what must be additional tickets, and they're good seats. The Friday night show I'm attending in May had been sold out, but now I see that Row R in the orchestra are for sale, and even ones on the aisle. Also, for a Saturday in May, there were Row A in the mezzanine up for grabs. Yes, they're not dirt cheap, but certainly better than resales. Just a heads-up.

FYI: you'll probably have a $200 service fee attached as Broadway.com does that.  They offer great deals then attach these $100 plus service fees.

Yes, they are face value with a fee tacked on, but still cheaper than StubHub or Ticketmaster resale.

Hundreds and hundreds of dollars cheaper.

OH MY GOD THANKS SO MUCH!!! Just got a ticket for  the New Year's Eve matinee! I'm pretty sure that will be the best day of my life!

I've taken advantage of the Broadway.com tickets and agree that they're a great value compared to other resellers, but I've still gotta wonder how they're getting all these tickets for the latest block of tickets. If the Ticketmaster tickets aren't released until January, are these coming straight from the box office?

I don't know the mechanics of it, but Broadway.com is listed on the Hamilton website as an official seller. So I assume that Broadway.com gets seats directly from the production. 

 

Edited to add: The Broadway.com seats are will-call from the Rodgers box office the day of the show.

Broadway.com is an official seller of... all Broadway tickets. Maybe not THE official seller but they ARE a source. They probably have an allotted amount per performance per production and they are just releasing them at different rates/times.

I would get 2 tickets on my birthday. I'm just worried about the snowy weather.

For those who bought tickets on Broadway.com, did it imply that tickets were only available for pickup at the box office, or did you find an option to print them or have them mailed?

My receipt says, "Your tickets will be held at the theater for you under your last name and can be picked up in the theater lobby beginning 30 minutes before the show." It goes on to bring a copy of the confirmation email and ID.

 

On the website there was a mail option, but it was grayed out.

This new will call policy places a HUGE burden on the box office. It will be a total zoo half an hour before showtime with hundreds of people picking up their tickets. Shame on the producers for deflecting onto the good people at the box office.

I'm expecting buyers will receive an email telling them the window of pickup has been widened. You're right. How can that many people possibly be serviced in that brief a timeframe?

Do you think B'way.com has HUNDREDS of seats to sell for each performance?  (I have no idea, just asking.)   If they have dozens it's not likely too different then average.   Very often I pick up my ticket at the box office....but I seldom wait until 1/2 hour.  

The last few times I got my tix thru tdf I was instructed the same way. Had to wait until 1/2 hour.

So I clicked on a random date over my college spring break, and there were a bunch of seats in row A of the mezzanine. This surprised me just at the popularity of the show. I don't necessarily have a problem with the cost, comparing it with the price of resales. I want to check the validity of this before I buy spend money buying a ticket and taking the trip to the city, only to find out the ticket is bogus or the seat is already filled (paranoid ticket buyer).

Tickets purchased from broadway.com are legit.  While not cheap, they are a legitimate ticket broker.  I wouldn't feel uncomfortable purchasing tickets from them.
