Dear Evan Hansen - Cancellation Line/Lottery — Page 3

I'm still confused about one thing. If you get cancellation tickets at noon at whenever they sell them on a two-show day, like next Wednesday, can you only get tickets for the matinee or can you request the evening show? Or do you have to come back later? And if so, when?

I was wondering the same thing! I'm specifically probably going to try the cancellation line Sunday May 28 when there's an added show for that night. I hope you can check on both shows at noon.

Now that I have my ticket for Wednesday night, I'm happy to share the pattern I observed over the past few weeks! It seems like they release tickets online four days prior to showtime. This has been the pattern for each show over the past two weeks. Hope this is helpful!

I just got back from seeing the show tonight - and it was incredible, Ben Platt's performance was truly outstanding - and for anyone still hesitating about buying tickets or queueing or whatever for this show, there were four completely empty seats in the row in front of me. I was in Row K so that means they were Row J of the orchestra. And they were also more centred than my tickets! (I was in the last seat of Row K, stage left)

Would love to hear how Colton does. Did Ben miss, because of a holiday?

Oohh. Exciting. First performances for understudies are always fun.

Asa Somers is also on today as well.

I would say it's more likely he's sick because he has said recently that he had no scheduled days off.

I think he's sick. I had heard he was a little under the weather on Saturday but he still performed both shows.

I had been checking stubhub on Friday night and Saturday morning to see if prices would drop for a single ticket to one of the Saturday shows. I was just about to buy one but the ticket was back of the theatre and cost a little more than a full price orchestra ticket at face value.

On Saturday I stopped by the box office around 10:30 and there was no cancellation line. I inquired at the box office and was advised that if I wanted to start a line I would probably be able to get a ticket and that they probably wouldn't have any until about 12/12:30. I started a line and a few minutes later someone else joined me in line.

A few minutes after that a man at the box office came outside to ask how many tickets each of us was looking for. We each wanted singles can and the man sounded like he would have some for us before long.

Shortly after that, at about 10:45am, he came back outside to tell me he had a ticket for me. It was 4th row orchestra on the left side, close to the aisle. I waited 10-15 minutes and ended up with a great ticket! Sure it was a little pricey, but there was no way I was going to be there at 2am to wait in line for SRO.

It was definitely worth it so if you aren't able to find tickets on telecharge within days of the performance I definitely recommend popping by! I notice a few tickets on stubhub that had dropped quite a bit in price up until the last minute, but that can be a bit risky if you don't have enough time to pick up your ticket and get to the theatre.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you end up paying for those tickets? I'll be in town next month and will try the cancellation line. I just want to be prepared for the price. Thanks.

Thanks. That's reasonable. The $413 tickets currently available would be a little steep for me.

Hi for those who have seen the tickets released online, is there any particular time of day this has occurred? Looking for anytime in the next few weeks but want to be at a price point under $200. Thanks!

I am looking to sell my ticket for this Friday 4/14. I have to leave town earlier than I thought for the holiday. It's just one, but it's Side Orchestra row O so the view shouldn't be bad. If anyone in here is interested, feel free to message.
