Hamilton Cancellation Line — Page 161

Hi again (sorry to keep spamming but figured I'd at least keep to the same thread)!

I still have a pair of Hamilton tickets (orchestra F 14/16) available for tomorrow's show - I'd gotten messages from a couple people but now I'm not hearing back. I paid $425 total but I'm willing to negotiate if I can sell them tonight so that they're off my mind, or even just one of them :)



Edit to add: been sold now, thanks guys! :)

*edited- thought it was frozen so I clicked submit too many times and it submit a bunch of times, sorry! I haven't posted on here before!

Last minute, but if anyone wants to see Hamilton tomorrow, January 4th - my friend and I will be waiting in cancellation and are happy to buy two additional tickets for you and a guest if you are willing to cover the cost of our tickets as well. Both of us have done the cancellation line several times and have been successful every time. Please message me for details!

Scalp much?"

It's not scalping, at all. We want to see the show and have a lot of time, but not much money, so we are willing to wait long hours in the cold to see it and get tickets for those who don't have the time to wait at a price lower than those of resale sites like Stubhub.

I don't think that's scalping. I'm cheap and probably wouldn't take them up on the offer. But last week I was in NYC and it's possible I might have been willing to purchase one of their tickets for getting me a ticket. I had no interest in sitting on the line all day.

Can you? If the ticket is 199 dollars and I wanted a ticket for myself. I'd only be willing to pay for one of their tickets-that's 400 dollars. I haven't seen stub hub that low. Now if I had to pay for both of their tickets plus mine I might just go with stub hub. Again for me this is hypothetical since I am not in the city. And I had thought about getting a line sitter last week and chose not to.

For me personally I was kind of intrigued by the idea of waiting on line, but being realistic it's just not for me.

You certainly can't get Orchestra Center tickets in the first 5-10 rows for under $400 on Stubhub. I see nothing wrong with the offer.

In my book, you are profiting by selling Hamilton tickets. That is scalping.

Someone's salty...

In March, I paid professional line sitters about a month's rent to get 2 premium tickets. About a month later, I took casedilla up on her offer and saw the show again after she waited in line for me. In exchange for her line sitting, I bought her tickets. I had no issue doing this, especially when Stubhub was selling much, much worse seats at a higher cost (2-3 times more expensive). I wouldn't expect her to wait in line for my tickets for free, and as previously mentioned, it's a small price to pay compared with the professional line sitter companies, which also charge a premium.

So yes, you do technically end up paying twice the cost of a ticket, but I don't see the problem with this setup, especially given the service she's doing you. As an aside, I HIGHLY recommend working with casedilla :) She's probably the biggest Hamilton fan I've ever met, and her communication was perfect the entire time she was in line!

Just had a chat with the people at the front of today's (1/3) line. Earlybirds got in around 7:30AM. About 20 in line now. Everyone's in good spirits despite the weather, at least!

She doesn't have to wait in the line with you. You can buy two tickets when it's your turn. She doesn't necessarily have to be there, but in my experience they sell the tickets right before the show starts so she probably will want to be there when they call you in. :)

How much are tickets when you go through the cancellation line? I am coming into town next Tuesday and would love to attempt the line or potentially if someone is willing to stand in line would be willing to discuss. Can you let me know how early you got there and if you were successful? Trying to gauge the timing needed. Thank you!
