Hamilton Cancellation Line — Page 32

I believed it was first ordered by how many hours you booked. Say person A booked 30hs, person B booked for 24hs, of course person A's waiter arrive before B, so A has the priority. In the case A and B both ordered same amount of waiting hour, the priority goes to whoever put down the order first.

"THAT IS SOOOOO GREAT! I knew you'd get in! A single ticket has less completion than the pairs! Now you can rest OR take the subway to Hamilton Grange National Memorial. It's the only home Hamilton ever owned and it's located in Uptown Manhattan on 141st St. I visited this past weekend! So much history. It's a 24 min train ride on the A to 145th St.

This is so insane. My sister and I were talking about trying our luck and arriving at midnight but now it just seems like that would be a waste of time.



"You may want to try 7pm since Saturday is a matinee & evening performance day and more people are off Saturdays thus thicker crowds. I waited on a Friday and the Saturday crowd was lining up at 7pm (sitters first--they claimed the first 4 spots by 8pm). Many people are on line for a pair of tickets, including the sitters. I find that people who just want one ticket are not as many. You and your sister can wait together as individuals and each get a single ticket and sit seperately. Your odds may be better than wanting a pair to sit together. Hope this helps"

That was exactly what happened yesterday. Nobody got regular priced tickets until at the most 10 minutes before showtime. They released premium tickets earlier. My uncle took one for me, but I'm not sure if anyone else took one. At least 8-10 people got $177 tickets last night via cancellation line I know for sure.

Thanks!! I also got to see the backstage earlier today though some new friends I made while waiting for the cancellation ticket. I wouldn't say how but I was lucky enough to be offered the chance today. Super exciting!

Can someone confirm if the theater's policy is to not switch people out of the cancellation line? I'm wondering if I'll have to pay the linesitter the whole time instead of just part of the time for waiting.

Last time I was here two weeks ago the policy was that whoever is in line when the box office opens is the one that has to get the tickets. Box office opens at ten AM.



On another note, we just got here for tomorrow's show and we are tenth in line. Two weeks ago at this time we were first, and the fourth person didn't get here until 3 AM. At this point we are just hoping for wed. night tickets as the odds of anyone from the lottery not picking up their tickets tomorrow day are slim (since it's a live lottery tomorrow) which accounted for four of the tickets that were sold the first time we were here for a Saturday matinee.

I know this has already been asked, but if there is no swapping "ever," how is this enforced when the box office doesn't open until 10am?? And does this include if two people are waiting together and you switch off to use the restroom, get food, etc.? It seems that would be necessary now that waits are literally over a day long.

I don't think there really is a big difference, but I think they want to see who is willing to pay premium first. My uncle got the premium for me at 3:30 just so that I'd be guaranteed to get in. His $177 seat was one row behind mine and in the center (row g) while mine was Row F Left Seat 5 (2 seats off the aisle).

Thanks! How much do the premium tickets usually cost?

I wonder how many people have sat in line for almost a day, gotten tickets, and then fallen asleep in the theater because they're just so exhausted? OR not slept, but been so exhausted that they can't even process what they're watching and don't have any memory of it?

I read that that happened when fans watched an all-day marathon of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, when Return of the King came out. They sat in a theater for over ten hours, first watching the extended edition of the first two films and then watching the premiere of RoTK. When they went back later to see RoTK again, they realized that they had been so tired the first time that they had no memory of actually seeing the movie.

That's what I would be afraid of, doing the cancellation line. Sitting in the cold for over a day, getting tickets, and then being so exhausted that I fall asleep or zone out and miss the actual performance. Maybe when I was 20 I could have done it...
