Hamilton Cancellation Line — Page 119

I am glad to see I wasn't the only one disappointed by the number of principals out on Saturday. I couldn't believe four understudies were on only 2 weeks post-Tony and 2 weeks prior to three of them leaving the show. I assume it was to rest prior to the filming but I was very frustrated. That's theatre for you, I know, and I'm still glad I got to see it but it did not hold a candle to seeing the full cast in February. My husband was totally underwhelmed as a first-timer. And, yes, I realize where this kind of let down fits in the grand scheme of things :)

One up side was Daveed, Oak and Anthony seemed to have upped game (which I didn't think possible) - even more outstanding performances than the first time I saw the show!

They disbanded the line for Tuesday so people won't be able to line up until Wed. at 10am (or so they said on Saturday). Please message me if you have any questions or are interested. Thanks!

The line is worth more than just a ticket now

The guy I recognize from Wicked days normally goes there when the patrons start lining up around 45 mins before start time and he goes around asking people if they have extra tickets to sell. I believe he offers face value and then negotiates.  He then resells those tickets for at least 2x the face value and go from there. Obviously if the tickets are still unsold after the show has started, the ticket price will go down and more wiggle room to negotiate.

I thought you were going to do the cancellation line earlier this month, nrubano? Good luck!

Would any any of you who have gotten tickets please be gracious enough to suggest your opinions on the best way to try and get a ticket?

I think I may try the cancellation line, but I am also curious if people have actually been able to get tickets the way they are mentioned in the above post.

Is it actually possible to buy a ticket from someone outside the theater like that? If so, can you know for sure that the ticket is legit? 

Anyone who can explain a little more about how the cancellation line works? If you're willing to stay and sleep there, do you eventually end up with a ticket?

i would greatly appreciate any info or help! Thank you so much!

I just wanted to make sure.

It's really not worth staying overnight anymore being that the security guard's have already said that they will be picking people randomly to get into the cancellation line every day. They also said that they will no longer be recognizing any lists or videos that we make.

We're pretty much hoping they won't be sticking to this new policy and if they are, well we have a hotel booked anyway so we'll just hang around before showtime each night, enter the lottery every day and hope for the best. We're prepared for the worst and if nothing works out at least this policy of picking randoms means we can get "out of line" to go see something else.
