Hamilton - 10 Year Anniversary

I asked my wife what she wanted for our 10 year wedding anniversary and she said "all I want is to spend the weekend in NYC seeing shows with you"... :)

I'm trying to plan a surprise trip for us and of course Hamilton is at the top of that list. I also realize its impossible to get tickets! Haha. I've exhausted every resource I could think of. Obviously the chances of winning the lotto are slim to none. Do we have any options left?

Someone recommended cancellation line tix. Has anyone had luck with the Hamilton cancellation line? Are tickets outrageously expensive? Do you have to get to the theater hours in advance?

We'll have a great anniversary no matter what, but if I could get my hands on Hamilton tix somehow, I'd be the #1 husband. :)

Before I read the first post of this thread, I thought this was going to be about the 10 year anniversary of HAMILTON in 2025. Tickets aren't on sale yet, and somehow they are probably already sold out. LOL

haha - july 4th weekend. which probably only makes it about 100 times harder since i'm sure there will be lots of tourists in town. i'll go look for the cancellation line thread. thanks.

Broadway.com has tickets and the site is legit. You have to pick up the ticket at the Rodgers box office. Dates in 2017 are better, but there are some available for 2016 (at higher prices though).

Everyone in a 20-seat radius will hate you, should you get in.

There are resale seats for a little less than $2,000 per seat - -if you really love her!

I was going to say... You didn't mention any budget/money concerns so if you really love her, you can pay up the nose through resale. They are available. Good luck.

I was gonna say, if you loved her so much you probably would look at resale tickets. they aren't difficult to get; there are many of them there. they are expensive which is a completely different situation.

Sondheimite, I agree with that. My anniversary is October 8th and I thought we might like to see Hamilton that night, so I did a crazy thing: when tickets were released for that block I bought some. weird how that works.

But if you don't take someone to see HAMILTON, it doesn't matter how special the show is. You still don't love them.

I agree with Tazber. She Loves Me would be a wonderful choice.

It's just frustrating to me that all these people think their stories justify them getting Hamilton tickets. To be fair, this is more about the army wife. I can't imagine having the constant anxiety of her situation. But I have a friend right now who has cancer who would LOVE to see Hamilton. But she isn't going around asking for someone to sell her cheaper than re-sell or face value tickets. Sh!t, I've got three friends in a hospital in Orlando right now after the shooting who would LOVE to see Hamilton and they're not even asking for tickets...

Everyone wants to see Hamilton right now with this cast. If you don't believe me, go to any middle school in the United States, play the first six or seven notes of the first song, and listen to the screams that will happen directly after it.

It is foolish to think you will be seeing this show, on a holiday week, AND the last week of a lot of the original cast without having had foresight to get tickets way ahead of time. OR without paying through your a$$ like everyone else. Everyone has anniversaries, hardships, and things going on. But that doesn't mean they get to see Hamilton without going through the same channels everyone else has.

Not to mention, you've known about this anniversary for a LONG LONG LONG time and you're just hammering down on this search? Where was was your foresight? Yikes!!!

Here are your options:

1). Re-sell tickets.
2). Try your luck with the lotto.
3). Waiting for a day (or two... or three) in the cancelation line.
4). Wait to see Hamilton and get tickets when a new block of them are released.

Those are your options and all of our options. Regardless of your story. That's harsh but that's how it is. Again, I have massive hemorrhoids right now and I'm still going to have to buy re-sell tickets to see Sunday In the Park With George this summer.

That's so dumb. There's nothing special about an 11th anniversary and his wife damn well knows it.
