Hamilton Cancellation Line — Page 49

Thanks for the updates! Do you have any idea whether they'll be enforcing rules 1/5 (no swapping/person who buys the ticket must see the show)? Because if that's the case now, I don't understand how the line sitters will work. If they are not allowed to have their client swap and take their place in line, that means the line sitter would have to buy the tickets, which means they must use at least one of them.

You find out when you purchase them, it's a mystery until you get to the box office.

Also I have no idea what the state of the no swapping/holding rule is, but the line sitters are being let stay, for now. The only thing I know for sure is that they CANNOT buy tickets for their patron. If the patron is late, they're skipped over and the next person gets the tickets.

Thanks for the updates Ehlbee.

In regards to the linesitters, I wonder how this will play out.

I don't know about the mezz seats but I was surprised at how many seats yesterday were listed at $549. I thought these were only the first few rows (like, 3 or 4 rows) of the orchestra. Did they increase pricing because of demand and how well the show has been received? I even thought my $349 "Preferred" seats were supposed to be the $177 price, but I said screw it and went ahead and bought them anyway!

I noticed that yesterday, too. When I went to check, many rows in center orch were $549 as far as row M. The sides were $329 as preferred.

Under the mezz overhang were a few $199 I spotted.

And the rear mezz row F seat I sat in on Monday were $139 and not $87 anymore.

Dear Lord!

OMG! Did anyone read the third post "what's the cancellation line?" There are still fans that don't know. Now they're all gonna show up and it's gonna get even more cray cray! LOL! Lord help us even more! LOL!

#1 Patrons may not swap out or hold places on the line

So no more line sitters? Also how you can get a relief from your friend when you want two tickets (for you and your friend)?

Oh no! Someone doesn't know! Someone might be new to theatre! Heaven forbid.

LOL! Well my first thought was "you don't know about the 1000+ posts on Broadway World?" It comes up in a simple Hamilton Tickets google search...the horror.

Also nervously waiting to see how this plays out...

I do understand why they had to implement these rules since it was getting a little out of hand, but I mostly feel for the people who shelled out the $$$$ to hire linesitters for tonight if they're in fact going to be denied tickets. Would be terrible luck, and I know I would personally be crushed if this happened on the day I hired line sitters!

If they were going to kick tonight's line sitters off the line wouldn't they have done so back at 10am, when the box office opened and they started enforcing these new rules?

I think the question is what's going to happen from tomorrow on, now that these rules are posted, being put up on social media, etc.

Why are you asking here instead of tweeting Hamilton? Unless you did, I suppose.

The first rule says that patrons may not swap out a place in line. But who knows how they'll enforce this. Maybe the person behind you will narc on you."

You'll probably be able to "swap out" prior to the box office opening (either at 10 am or 12 pm depending on the day of the week).
