Hamilton Cancellation Line — Page 71

Sounds good Sarah! Let's do this, I will dm you my watsapp xx

I will fess up I AM a linesitter. I make money on the side this way. It's not a get rich quick way of earning, but it does alleviate some bills, as I'm a caregiver. At present, I have customers who are distraught over this new edict. 4 women, the average age is 65, plus one mother who is 87!!!! They are not rich, but would love to see the show. They hired me and a friend, but now they must cancel. Not everyone who wants a linesitter is of means or is trying to get over. If they had real $$$ they'd pay StubHub or TicketMaster and not be dealing with all of this.

Yes, some linesitters and companies have been obnoxious, but not everyone is.

My senior citizen customers are here in town from California, but I doubt they'll be seeing the show. That makes me feel bad. And no, it's not all about $$ with me. I have my mind, legs and arms and have other means of making money. Just showing you that line sitting is highly VALUABLE for those who literally can not.

I don't blame you! I've been keeping track of this thread for a couple of months now, and I know that unless you have a burning desire to know the history of the Hamilton Cancellation Line, reading 70 pages and more than 1,700 posting IS a waste of time. Information CONSTANTLY changes.

Postings are dated. If you want to, you can just go back a week or so to read about people's most recent cancellation line experiences. We find that very helpful when planning our trip, since we're from out of town.

I believe someone posted the link to the FAQ thread, as well. https://forum.broadwayworld.com/readmessage.php?thread=1090479

Good luck!! Hope you get to see the show. We've done the cancellation line 3x, and have seen the show 2x. It's REALLY worth the wait! =)

01:15 AM - Arrive at Richard Rodgers theatre. There is a couple already set up (I later find out that they arrived around midnight). If any of you have been in/at the theatre, it's the door to the left of the main entrance, where people can walk out from the coat check. This couple (wisely) brought a thick duvet and huge fluffy pillows.

As a woman with a complete lack of self-defensive skills, is there anything to worry about if I'm planning to go alone and wait in line all night? Or is it well-trafficked/well-lit enough that it'll be safe? As much as I want to be first in line, I'm also a little afraid to be the only one in line if it means sitting there alone all night.

You are fine

Can anyone who knows let me know where and what the premium seats they release to the line are? I know they're $477 and that premium seats are close. But I've also read the seats they release late closer to showtime are in the first few rows of orch usually. I know those seats are the ones there holding for guests, so what are the premium seats they're releasing?

Same here. I'm scared of waiting in line in the middle of the night, especially as a female who isn't from that area. But if chalklit says its fine then I guess we don't have to worry as much. When do you plan on waiting in line? I've been debating when to wait for Tuesday night's show.

For a Sunday matinee, when do people usually start lining up? Would it be around 2-3am or would that line still form Saturday evening around show time?

I was thinking of going after work on Friday (so after the train ride from NJ I'd probably arrive around 7 or 8 pm) and try to get tickets for the Saturday 8 PM show. I know Saturdays are probably pretty popular but it's the only day that works with my work schedule.

Did anyone ever figure out somewhere to print last minute tickets for an 8pm show? I'm in the city and thinking of trying this tonight but i know the Mariott business center closes at 7pm. It's okay if it's a bit further, I just can't find anything whatsoever

My faith always taught me “But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you".

So back when you accused me of being a S.O.L.D. proxy because I had too much line information--in my mind and in my heart, I forgave you. All I was being was a fan and trying to help people out here on the board with either how long to wait for yourself, privately messaging others on how early to book a sitter based on my eyewitness experience, and how to snag a resale ticket.

My sister is a caregiver to our 76 year old mom so I understand.

Don't judge, don't condemn and doors will open for you =)

Correct! It's row H and no letter I




What a GREAT picture. We sat on Row H seat # 9 -- those seats that look like dining chairs on the right side of the picture. THOSE are the BEST seats, I think. We were a little sad at first because it was not in the middle of the theater, but WHOA! it was like sitting on booster seats! No heads to block you and you can see the entire stage without any problem. PLUS, you can get up anytime without bothering the people next to you. Great way to quickly get out of the theater at the end of the show to catch a good spot at the stage door! =)
