Hamilton Cancellation Line — Page 139

There were 3 people on the cancellation line when I passed it at 9:10AM this morning.

Does anyone have a general idea as to what days are better than others for the cancellation line? Because I was thinking about going on a Monday, but if I could get into a Saturday matinee then that would be much better than waiting in line for 12 hours.

Tickets sold through Ticketmaster, both hard tickets and electronic will have fees of $10-$11.50. Cancellation line tickets and others sold directly from the box office will not have this fee. All tickets list that "$2 facility fee" in big print under the show title, must be a contractual or legal thing.

Of course you went to his last show! He's your boo! And you're his "Virginia, my home sweet home, I wanna give you a kiss" gal!

Glad for you that you went! Do whatever it is that brings you joy! Life is fragile and short!

Was Audra in at Shuffle? My friend is going tonight and I pray she gets to see Audra. I urged her to see this show the past month!

The standing room line could be overnight occasionally (I know because I did two of them, for two people's last shows), but no, I don't believe the cancelation line was anything even close to Hamilton's."

I agree that for Book of Mormon the long wait was for standing room. I did it twice back in summer 2011 and both times I just went to the theater at around 7am. I forget the exact number but the box office always sold X number of SRO so you knew whether it was worth your time to wait all day or not. Oh and the $27 SRO price wasn't bad either.

Hahaha, you're so funny. <3 We were off to the side a bit (if you saw it, this is my video) and got to watch him charmingly wriggle his finger around and pick someone else for that part. Sigh. And getting tickets for him two days in advance was still 1/3 of the cost I paid for seeing the show in May . . . or 1/6 of the cost, considering that my Daveed friend paid me back for her seat, whereas my brother did not. The things you do for family.

Yes, Audra was in at Shuffle! I saw on the website that she doesn't do matinees, which is why I chose the evening performance. Good choice in the end because it left the matinee open for Hamilton, even though it meant that it messed up my schedule and I couldn't go home and change, so for both shows I was wearing a ridiculous dinosaur shirt I just threw on in the morning to check out ham4ham. You've seen what I wore to Hamilton in May so you know I'd rather dress up for shows! LOJ was wearing a sharp suit to Shuffle Along and I honestly didn't even want to be seen by him.

YUP! Every time I see Hamilton, I cover the cost because the husband takes care of keeping a roof over our head, lights and stove on, and WIFI in the house! LOL! I even treated my sister (rear mezz rip off resale) but tonight, after saving, she's going on her own dime 7th row 7th seat! Lucky 7's face value premium that popped up on TM Thursday morning.

LOL! Aw!!!!! I'm sure you looked great!

Hiya folks!

This thread was really helpful when I was trying to figure out how to see the show, so here's my experience:

I was traveling in the city for work the past few days and got on the cancellation line around 6:15 on Wednesday. By then it was about 20 people deep, and I don't know how many/if any people had already been offered tickets. At 7:20 one of the guys from the theater came out and told the people about 5 in front of me that they weren't going to get that far in the line and encouraged us to go see another show.

Yesterday (Thursday) I got on line just after 4pm and was around 15th in line. At 6ish the first 4 folks on line were offered tickets. Around 6:30, a guy came out and counted how many tickets folks wanted (they let each person buy 1 or 2), and I was the 11th ticket in line. Just before 7 they started taking a few people in at a time, and at 7:05 I got in and got one of the $40 SRO tickets. I think one or two of the folks behind me also got in. The timing works out- I got up to the standing area right as the opening music started.

Overall, it's definitely worth the wait for SRO tickets- the one thing I'd note is that the mezzanine overhang does create partial view for both SRO and rear orchestra seats (you can see the entire stage floor, but the stuff that happens on the second level when they climb up the stairs is blocked out). At the end of the day, if you want to try for $199 orchestra seats, get there early, but if you're just trying to see the show at all, you should be good if you get there 3-4 hours early.

Hope this helps!

He's said in an interview that he'll be off Sundays and Mondays.

Just walked by and there are like 20 people in the cancellation line already. Should I join or should I just go see something else today?

I think you'll have a good chance for the evening show. Like rcbell64 said, with today's temps getting into the upper 90's, I too bet that most of those folks are there for the matinee show! Have plenty of water, shade, wear loose clothing and give it a try!

I wouldn't buy on SH until at least 1:25. That's when ticket prices drop most. I would bet you get one for under $250. You will still have time to run to the business center and print them out and get back right before the opening number. That said, SH can be slow on delivering, so if you dont get an email or download available for five minutes or so, call customer service as you walk to the business center and explain the urgency and they will rush the digital delivery. Or, at least, they did for me last time. GOOD LUCK and keep us posted!
