Hamilton Cancellation Line — Page 150

Hi Everyone!

I've been reading this board for a month now and tomorrow I am braving the cancellation line to get tickets on my birthday! I'm coming up from DC and I'll be in New York at about 6 AM. I was originally planning on getting to the theatre to get in line by 7 AM. From recent posts it seems like getting there that early may no longer be necessary? Does anyone have information about how the line has been on Fridays? Also, I know I read it at some point, but if someone can remind me of where the line begins on non-matinee days I would greatly appreciate. I'll update the board with my experience tomorrow.

Is there anyone plus friend willing to do the wait in exchange for their tickets paid for? We would be your plus ones. any show Oct 14 or 15. We would wait ourselves but we only have 4 days total in NY.

Thanks.



I will! Just sent you a PM (:

Hey All,

Just an update on my line experience. I waited in line 9/16 for the Friday evening show. I got to the line really early (7:30 AM) but there was no one else there waiting. I left and grabbed breakfast and came back at 9:30 and I was still the only one in line. From there I decided to just wait. I was joined by 4 people by 12:30 PM. They offered some premium tickets for $549 at 2 PM, and one man who had only been waiting for about 20 minutes took them. We had a line of about 10 people at 4 PM when they started calling us in to buy tickets for $199. I got an amazing box seat and the couple behind me got row H far right. I would say that anyone lining up by 1 PM at this point is guaranteed tickets. When I went back to see the show that night there were about 30 people waiting in line, but all of them arrived after 4:30. Most of the very late comers did not get into the show. Overall it was an amazing experience, and I am so glad I spent the day waiting line. It was an awesome birthday!

Has anyone waited in line specifically/only for SRO tickets? I would love to take a friend to Hamilton, but as students, both of our budgets cap out at about $40. It sounds like people can refuse tickets and keep their place in line, so I'm considering getting there early and just waiting until they get through premium and $199 tickets. When are SRO tickets sold? I've seen it mentioned that there are typically 10 SRO tickets sold per performance-- is that still true? Also, does anyone know how early people typically get there for a 3pm Sunday performance?

Thanks to everyone who posts on here. Just wanted to share my experience from yesterday. I arrived at 4.40pm (Wednesday) and there were 12 people in line on the left side of the theater (some were on the right side too but I asked the stewards and they said this was the official line).

No one got a ticket until around 7.30/7.45 so it was a bit tight! I got through at 7.57pm and paid $199 for G102 (pretty much orchestra middle about 7 rows back. Amazing seat). They did have some standing room and at least one more person behind me got in, maybe more I didn't see.

Of the people in front of me, only 4 of them purchased 2 tickets, everyone else was a single so that helped. However, there was a big group of 7 who all got there early as they were a total of 9 and all wanted to see it so got there extra early.

Anyway, hope that helps. Had a great time in the line (I'm 8 months pregnant and it wasn't tiring or stressful). The people next to us ordered pizza from across the street and the staff walked it over to the line! It was a great experience and the show is fantastic. Worth waiting 3.5 hours for!

@SusF81 I'm going to try my luck today for the evening show.. Since it's a Saturday I might try and get there around 3:30 pm. You said there were two line but the "official" line was on the LEFT side of the theater, correct? I don't want to get screwed by waiting in the wrong place.. thanks!

Hey Guys!

My friend and I will wait in line for you! We are not in a financial situation to purchase full price Hamilton tickets. But we do have a lot of time on our hands! Anybody reading the thread that doesn't think they're ready to take the cancellation line plunge, or would rather spend their vacation enjoying the sites - we can get you a pair of tickets at full price. All we ask is that you pay for our tickets as well.

Here's how it works: We get in line and bring you as our plus ones. You guys will arrive 30 minutes before the show begins and we'll go inside once we get tickets! Once we're all inside, we can then switch seats so that you guys can sit together and me and my friend can sit together. You guys can have the better seats - we'll just be happy to be in the room where it happens. The seats are usually VERY good house seats. These are usually held for celebrities and VIPs alike. Sometimes they can be front row from lotto winners that didn't confirm in time. Or they can just be other scattered seats around the theatre. At any rate - You guys get the better pair of tickets.

We are not asking for any monetary compensation - just our tickets. If we don't get tickets, you owe us nothing. But we'll get up very early to give us the best chances. Message me and we can discuss which dates you prefer to try and see it. We can also try and have one or two more of our friends to wait with us so that a family of 3 or 4 can see the show together - message us to arrange that as well.

FYI everyone, I heard there will be heightened security for tonight's performance and they are recommending people get there about an hour earlier than usual. I don't know if this will impact the cancellation line situation but just thought I'd let you all know.

Hi! Has anyone tried to get tickets from the cancellation line for a Sunday 3pm show? Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!!

Anyone have line updates? I want to brave it during the upcoming holiday weekend. Am thinking Friday night would be my best chance - does anyone have thoughts as to timing and whether it's easier to do Friday night or sat matinee? Thanks!

My sixteen year old daughter and I will be landing at 10am on Friday, October 14th. We will be in NYC until Monday night. We wanted to head straight to the theatre for the cancellation line. Do you think if we were to get in line by 2, there's a chance of us seeing that nights show? Also, can I bring a small three legged stool? Is that allowed or do you stand/sit on the ground the entire time? This mom is not as young as she used to be!

There's no longer a need to get there that early anymore.
