Not yet! I probably won't know about standing room until like right as the show is about to begin. Buncha people got in, and there are 3 people in front of me who want regular tickets. Fingers crossed!"

At what time did the front of the line reveive their tickets and, if you know, what time did they arrive?

I am planning on going on the cancellation line tomorrow thursday at 12;30 p.m. I was wondering if you think I will be able to purchase 2 orchestra seats for my nephew who is in from L.A.? It is the holiday weekend and tickets may be hard to come by:? Thanks for any feed back.

Do you know how many tickets / people were given at 3PM?

Went to queue for tonight's performance and the queue was surprisingly short. We arrived at 3pm and there were 5 people ahead of us, so we were 6 and 7 in line. The first 2 people in the line left at around 3.30pm, not sure why.

The 3rd in line got her 1 ticket at about 3.30pm. Numbers 4 and 5 got their tickets at about 3.40pm (and they had arrived about 10 minutes before us, so they'd been queuing for less than an hour!)

At that point we were first in line but the guy at the ticket office only had 1 ticket left. We opted to wait. At around 4.40pm, another 2 people joined the line.

We got our tickets at about 5pm (yay!!!) and at the time, there were only 2 people left behind us. Amazing tickets, row D dead center. Can't wait for the performance tonight!

Wanted to share my experience getting SRO yesterday (Friday) evening. I walked past the theater at about 6:15pm for the 8pm show. I decided to join the line and was #16. By 7:50 they had only sold about 6 tickets. At 7:55 they sold their last pair and I was still about #6 in line. At 8:03 they came out and said they had standing room. Only one woman in front of me wanted SRO so I got the second spot!

It turned out that they only had 7-8 seats but also had 6-8 SRO spots (way more than normal)

Overall the almost 2 hours in line was well worth the $40 SRO ticket.

You shouldn't waste your time. You won't get tickets that late in the day

Hi guys, i'm planning on doing the line on the first week of october, so two questions:

1) I can only go on night show, my best shot is on going in a two show day afternoon or a single show day?

2) And what is a safe time to go to the line? i heard 12PM is good for a night show, but many people share stories of a short line by 3PM or even later.

I'm going on my vacation and the less time i spent on line the better. Thanks for all the good advice, this is a wonderful thread with wonderful people.

Got 2 tix! Less than an hour!

Neither can I. And only two other people showed up in that time.

Congrats! Where were your seats? Were they premium or the $177 standard?"

Standard is $229 now, not $177 anymore.

I did the cancellation line last Saturday, September 23.. We watched the matinee for Dear Evan Hansen, so right after the show, we raced to the Hamilton cancellation line. That was around 4:30pm. The line was relatively short when we got there (less than 15 people). A few minutes after lining up, one person bought tickets from a scalper. At this point we were lined up on the left side of the theatre. After Hamilton matinee, they moved us so we can sit on the steps in front of the theatre. Three people ahead of us bought tickets from a scalper. I guess it was around 6pm when they gave the 2 guys in front of the line tickets, which made us #7&8 in line. Then when it was around 6:30pm, they moved us to the right side of the theatre (in preparation for the evening show lineup). At 7:10pm, 3 more people got tickets, so we were #4&5. At 7:44pm, they released 3 more tickets, so we became #1&2. Got our tickets at around 7:54pm. Centre orchestra, we were seated next to the couple just ahead of us in the line. Super great seats and the 3.5hour wait went by really fast. The couple behind us got one centre orchestra seat and a SRO ticket. The 2 people after them I believe got SRO as well. Didn't see the lady after them but saw the couple after that got centre orchestra tickets as well. The cancellation line was well worth it!
