Did anyone else attempt the Hamilton Amex pre-sale today?

Gotta love scalpers.

Tickets for the next block, June, July, August and September, 2016, are on sale now for Amex cardholders.

Looks like good availability in the mezzanine.

I got tickets for June and there are still a ton of seats available. The center orchestra non-premiums seem to have been snapped up quickly, but there are lots of other options, including side orchestra.

However, tickets through June 4 have been available for general sale for quite some time. I got tickets for April about a month ago and it was not using my Amex. I believe the presale is just for dates starting June 7. So if you're looking in April that is the reason for the lack of availability. Crazy that they're selling this far in advance but those April sales didn't all take place in the last 20 minutes. (But yes, I'm sure scalpers had a hand in this, particularly for those center orchestra June dates...)

Yes, that's correct. The Amex presale that started at 10 is for dates after June 4. I grabbed two front mezzanine seats. I haven't sat up there, but I think it's good, right?

Also, for others who are wondering, the side orchestra Rows L, M, N, O, P, Q, and maybe R are really great. I wouldn't pass them up.

I'm shocked how quick the scalpers/bots are. The orchestra as far back as July was picked clean in the categories I wanted, which are "premium adjacent" seats.

So I gambled that June 7 was the first performance after the Tony awards. Maybe I was wrong

Also I agree with MacNYC on those seats. I sat in Q house right and I didn't miss a thing. I wasn't all the way right but pretty close. You'd maybe miss one person singing from the second level if you were all the way to the side but those are quick and minor.

That's the side rear mezzanine, right? I think those went really fast!

I would like to think that producers are doing that, but I doubt it, based on the pattern of seats that were sold.

Does anyone know if the Tonys this year are on June 5 or June 12? Want to buy tickets for the first performance after the Tonys, but kind of torn between these two possibilities. Any ideas?

I've been searching the interwebs to no avail, and I posted something on here a week or so back about when it might be announced but no one responded. The press release came out right around this time last year so I'm optimistic we'll known soon. I bought both dates and I know I can find a friend to buy the others (it won't be hard to get my money back) but I realize not everyone may have that option. If you can float the cash for awhile, you'd surely be able to resell them on this board or use the ticketmaster resale option to get back what you paid. (I would not condone using the resale function to profit because I think that's not cool, but I see nothing wrong to use it to get back what you paid for the ticket.) Or you could just wait and keep your fingers crossed, but I'm guessing the date the tonys are announced those remaining seats will be scooped up pretty quickly.

Would be interested to hear if anyone has any insider info on the Tony date... I am simply relying on google.
