"literally, just after my last post, I checked the website and saw. Gonna try for tomorrow's matinee (hoping the daylight savings plus the awful winter weekend will keep people away, but who am I kidding, I'm looking for any kind of reasoning for why sitting in line for 5 hours tomorrow makes more sense)""

I know right? I was going to suggest to you to just buy tix from stubhub similar to what cerclerouge is plannign to do. In fact, why don't you guys pair up together? I know for me, I prefer to buy a ticket from stubhub or TMresale rather than from a scalper but that's just me. Others may feel different.

Also keep in mind they did record the performance. Hopefully someday it'll be on BroadwayHD. Just thinking about it, imagine if BroadwayHD made Hamilton as the first musical on Broadway to be ever livestreamed?!? Wow! At a cost of $10 too.

How is buying from StubHub or tm resell ANY different then buying from scalpers??  The only difference is more people are getting you money.

I found this out the hard way after seeing a $275 fee on a $200 ticket. I contacted them thinking that was an error, but they confirmed there is no set fee rate for the purchaser. It usually seems to be in the $130-$150  range, but there are exceptions. You can change your search options to show the full price after fees.

"

Ah I see. I didn't know that. Next time I'll change the option to show full price after fees.

LOL!  I see you have a StubHub crown yourself!  LOL!  GREAT to know one can stay in there after 7pm.  I did see the sign regarding the room key access.  I think there may be a good chance tonight.  Tickets in the rear mezz are starting at $900 but once they start dropping, they will go fast.  If $500 is your threshold, it may be tough.  I paid $550 in May for 4th row and that was the day before the Tony nominations.  The next day, prices were never the same.

Nah I'll go up to 700-800. 

I forgot about fees, sorry I can't really afford that

I'll be going later in the summer after July 9th since a friend is visiting who loves the show (but doesn't care about OBC) so we'll be waiting in cancellation line again. I'm really hoping the wait will not require an overnight wait by then. 

@vomsy, good point. Good luck though and hopefully you guys will get in by Sat eve.

vomsy said: "Last night only 7 tickets went out so there's been a consistent decrease in the number of tickets available which is partially inflating the wait time. We were chatting with RRT staff earlier who think we (#19 on "the list" might get in on Saturday night but most likely not until Sunday. Luckily we aren't picky about seeing Lin so we don't mind seeing the Sunday matinee.

Not to be a creeper but your #Hamilquest updates on Twitter are entertaining; I can't wait to see the Sat/Sunday tweets when you get in!

and the lunch vote should always be Shake Shack.

Haha, thanks! I'm glad you've enjoyed them. Most of the wait is pretty boring so I've had to amuse myself however I can. 

8 tickets total went out today- 1 premium earlier in the day and 7 other tickets right before the show. I'm still not sure exactly the makeup of those 7 tickets as far as house vs sro.

No reason to think any of the main cast will be out for Saturday matinee, right?

How many SRO tix are available each show?

vomsy said: I'm up to 56 hours now. We have bus tickets for Monday morning so we're hoping luck is on our side as things are starting to look very tight. 

Wow, Monday is getting close.  After so many hours invested, I hope you get in.  

If it got to the point of missing the show, I'd buy resale.  Back in March, when I didn't get tickets in the cancellation line, I was surfing on StubHub while on line but tickets didn't go under $700 that night when there had been $400 and $300 all week.  So went home exhausted and glad to crawl into my bed.  

 

Quick(ish) update- I got to see the show today! Around 15 tickets went out for today's matinee, including 3 premiums that were sold about 2 hours before the show. All 20 or so people in front of us passed on them and my brother ended up surprising me and snagged a premium for me as a birthday gift. I went in at the regular time, saw 4 people from the line go to their seats right before show time and then found out during intermission that my brother got in as well as the folks who had been immediately in front of and behind us. At least 7 standing room tickets went out and most of the people in front of him in line passed on them so he and several others grabbed them and made it to their spots right as the opening music started. I'm a little bummed that he spent so much money on me when I turns out we could've both gotten in for SRO but we're both just beyond thrilled we got to see the show at all. It was well worth the wait! 

Wick3 said: "Congrats vomsy!!! After all that wait I think you guys would appreciate a seat vs standing room!

:)

how was the cast? The show?"

The show was amazing! The entire cast was there for our show which I am so, so happy about and it completely blew me away (no pun intended). In my opinion, it 100% lived up to the hype and I am totally happy with our decision to do the cancellation line. Now we're just trying to figure out what to do with all the extra free time we weren't expecting to have!
