No problem.  And Askh8177 makes a good point.  I got there at 9:30 and got a 2nd row seat which, IMO, is TOO close.  The best seats come later so you don't want to get your ticket too soon.  It might pay to not get there first thing.  Of course, if you don't care where you sit and just want to get in, then you might as well get there early.

You're very welcome. This thread has been so helpful and positive to me and I want to pay it forward. Expect lots of cheering and high-fiving from others (:

Just a further update: Lined up at 7.15pm on Fri 20 July just to see what it was like (not really thinking we would get tickets). There were about 10 people ahead of us. At about 7.30 seemed like there would be no chance for any of us. Then 2 pairs went at approx. 7.40 and 7.50.

At around 8pm we were called to the box office. Standing room only tickets were offered and we took them.
Saw a few others standing when the show started.

How much is SRO ticket?

How's the view?

$40 per ticket.
I was very happy with the view but you may feel different. Only the balcony part of the stage is blocked.

I'll be in nyc in september and really want to see Hamilton and wonder what should I do. Does anyone has any august updates on the cancellation line? I can buy a 350$ ticket in advance but obviously don't want to spend that much if possible.

I’ve been very lucky with the cancellation line. I tried 3 times and have been successful twice (row E center orchestra for $219 on Valentines night). Broadway in general slows down in September... you can always get something on Stub Hub. I’d give it a try.

I've done the line three times.  The last time was last Friday.  Got there at 10:00 and was 9th in line. Got my ticket at 6:00.  Nobody lined up behind me until around 2:00 so i could have gotten there at 1:30 and been in the same spot.  

Normally i would say if you get there by 2:00, you'll be fine (the three times i've done the line, people who got in line at 2:00-3:00 always got in), however since you're coming from out of town, i would plan on getting there at 9:00 just to be sure.  Bring water, snacks, something to read and a cushion to sit on.  My wife and i buy 12 packs of toilet paper to sit on.  That way we can throw them out before the show and don't have to carry them into the theater.  9:00 may be overkill but you're pretty much guaranteed a seat that way.  There's a bathroom around the corner at the Marriott that you can use without losing your place in line.  I've found there's always somebody to talk to and the time usually goes by faster than you think.

FYI - Just walked past the theater, and there was nobody waiting for cancellation tickets. That may be a first?

Anyone know is the line always against the wall on the Marriott side? or it sometimes on the other side (closer to the 8th)?

[Fredd3]

Posted: 8/17/18 at 11:33pm

It's under the awning on the other side for most of the day, then between 6:00-6:30, they move the line over to the Marriott side to make room for the ticketholder line.

Just wondering if anyone who is in line now or is in the area can tell me how the line looks today?  Asking for a friend who has 2 tickets for tonight's show, and would like to get 2 more so their entire family can attend.  Thanks!

Hey guys, I’m going to New York the second last week of October and was just wondering if anyone knew what the cancellation line has been like lately? Also am I better of going into the box office on the Monday to ask about the weeks performances or just trying the cancellation line on the day? Thanks!

Hi!
Here's my update about cancellation line:
I came to nyc for a 12 days visit. On my first day - sep 27 I went to the box office at 1-2pm. Thought that they will tell me to try and come on the same day of the show and do the cancellation line , but... what really happened is that I told them I can come on any date from my 12 days visit and they just gave me options to choose. I got orchestra ticket for 229 , as easy as can be. (Worth mentioning I asked for only 1 ticket).
Anyway, you should try first the box office, and if that fails, try the line.
Good luck!

Thanks so much! I’ll definitely try the box office first then.

Hi! So I’m coming to NY in two weeks for three days. Last time I was there was over two years ago and so I’m guessing that my Hamilton cancellation line experience is different than it is now. Anyways I’m getting there Sunday morning and I leave Wednesday morning, so I have Sunday and Tuesday to try my luck at cancellation. Is there anyone here who rushed on a Sunday recently and can tell me when should I get there? Also, do you think it’s possible to get tickets on Tuesday if I get in line around 5pm? I really don’t want to waste all my time in line but I’m dying to see the Hamilton again!!! Thanks so much for sharing your experiences, reading those here really helps!

Try the box office on Sunday and see if they have tickets for Tuesday.

Só, how does SRO works?

They sell in advance?

Anyone got it?

Would I miss much of the show?

[Rainah]

Posted: 10/22/18 at 1:52pm

SRO are offered usually to the cancellation line, just prior to curtain. Back when there was a lot of data kept about such thing (about a year ago) people were tracking that they offered around 3-5 SRO tickets when they did offer them. They didn't always have them. No idea what it's like now, if that's gone up or down.

 

They're $40 and are obstructed, you do not see the second level. 95% of the show happens on the first level though, so the only big thing you miss is the first part of Schuyler Defeated.
