Hamilton Cancellation Line — Page 69

emscats2 said: "Hello everybody!  Long time reader, first time poster.  I’ve loved reading your posts about your experiences here, so I thought I’d share my own.

 

Currently, I am sitting in the Hamilton cancelation line. My bf and I arrived around 2:15-2:30 PM today (5/17/16).  Since we anticipated waiting til Wednesday to see the show, we brought things to make an overnight stay more comfortable.

 

There are no line-sitters (SOLD or otherwise) here, which seems to be a first!  We were the 16th and 17th people in line.  The first two people got here 11 PM on Monday (they mentioned being mildly bothered by some guys at night, but they moved on), and the next few at 1 AM.  The three girls right before us had arrived at 6:30 AM, but bailed around 5:20 PM (one had seen it before and I think they are aiming for the Ham4Ham in-person lottery tomorrow).  As of 5:49, there are about 10 people after us.  We’ve seen about 4-5 lottery winners pick up their tickets, but I could have missed them as we re-located to the right side of the door, under the steel awnings.

 

One hour til showtime, so we’ll see how ticket distribution goes!

Thanks for keeping us all up to date! Good luck!!

Ticket run-down for Tuesday May 17th:

Before 2 PM: 1 premium ticket

6:10 PM: 1 pair, 1 single

7:00 PM: 1 pair

7:02 PM: 1 single (standing room)

 

We were the 2nd and 3rd people left before tickets ran out, so we did not get into the show today. Settling in for a night of waiting.

Oh, and the last person to get in for the show tonight came 3 AM the night before.

Also where are you lining up when you guys get there late/early at night? When I did it with a sitter we lined up beside the theater to the left if you're facing the door. Is the line there at night or in front of the theater itself?

Is it hit and miss or am I correct to think, this will only get worse through mid-July....let alone all summer...

"

Who knows. I went not last Saturday but the one before and the matinee release 12 or 13 and the night show released about the same. It helped that 6 lottery tickets opened up. Seems like the average is 6-8 for a typical show 

 

 

did the patrons have to run directly in after receiving tickets.

I don't think your chances for SRO are any better than for regular. There was only one yesterday and the first person it was offered to snatched it up immediately.

Yay! Glad to have company, emilyschan! Currently it is just the two of us.

Schubox, we are in the same spot (ie left, if you are looking at the theater from across the street).

Thanks Mark_E for your kind wishes.

Happydude, for the 7 PM and after people, yes they did run in directly. The last ticket was given to a gentleman who was part of a group, but his wife pushed him to go ahead and take the ticket since it was already after 7.

At what price are unclaimed lottery tickets sold? $10? Full price? Premium?

Unclaimed lottery tickets go for $177"

 

I know. It seemed like perhaps the poster was asking about the price of unclaimed lottery and also premium.
