Hamilton January Tickets Sold Out - Help

[firebolts]

Posted: 10/28/15 at 1:22am

I'll be in NYC in late January, and I was about to buy Hamilton tickets for the third week of January, but everything is sold out for the dates l'll be there . Is there any way I can get tickets for that week (besides doing Ham4Ham)? 

 

Also, I'm sorry about making a Hamilton thread... there are so many, but I don't think this questioned belonged in the other Hamilton threads.

Not without spending a small fortune.   It's been sold out for months (or practically so).

It's no guarantee but keep an eye on closer to the date, sometimes limited tickets may become available or ticketmaster resellers reduce prices (like today's matinee has $167 resale tix). There's also the possibility of cancellation line day of.

Just a thought, but did you try calling the box office and inquiring about seats in the boxes?  I don't see those seats on the ticketing website, so they may only be available directly thought the box office.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but January tickets have been sold out for months. Maybe if you want to see it in the summer you should buy tickets now.

madbrian, you can't directly call the box office. You have to go there. If you call, it's just Ticketmaster.

January has not been "sold out for months." I literally bought a regular priced orchestra ticket a few weeks ago.

OK, they've released more tickets then. Do you want a medal?

Uhh, way to be snarky. Was just letting the OP know that was not the case and it is possible tickets can still become available.

If you don't want the money to go to a scalper and your'e buying in pairs you can spend $500 per ticket from BC/EFA and get a $333 tax deduction: http://www.broadwaycares.org/_events--tickets/care-tix-for-hamilton

This is true, just two weeks ago I was looking at tickets and they were sold out through January 2nd at the time, although there were only about 8 shows left that month with any tickets available.

People, it's not rocket science and it's definitely not news that they release tickets closer to the date or day-of. Congrats to you for swiping them up. The problem is that most of the time this is an extremely limited amount of seats and at sporadic times. And most of us do not have the time to stalk Ticketmaster daily. 

OP: I would check Ticketmaster for the dates you will be in NYC for resale, or use StubHub. At this point, unfortunately, those are your only solid options for January tickets (unless a few others are released) aside from the lottery which is insanity most days.

I had 4 extra tix for Jan and resold them on Ticketmaster for a very hefty profit. They sold yesterday.

Congrats, thief. You are the type of person we dislike around here.

I've honestly been telling my friends not to hold out hope, and that if they don't want to sell a kidney to just wait until the next block of tickets goes on sale for fall 2016.

Regarding rare Hamilton tickets, what is it about the LEGAL resale market and the understanding of supply & demand that warrants calling someone a thief?

[dramamama611]

Well, that's silly.   There are some $167 tix available on many performances.   I looked at a number of dates in Feb, March and April.

 

If you're flexible and not very picky about seats, they do exist.

Probably because it's morally repugnant to buy excess tickets for no purpose other than to profit outrageously, when you could have left them for other customers to buy (instead of gouging them hundreds and hundreds of dollars). So yeah, that person (and many like him who happen to coincidentally have an extra 4 tickets to sell for huge profit) are basically thieves.

How can someone "basically" be a thief if they are not doing anything illegal? 

[GreasedLightning]

Posted: 10/28/15 at 3:26pm

It's more of a figure of speech. Like when someone calls someone else a psychopath. They aren't actually a psychopath. Usually. You know how that goes. 

[Liza's Headband]

But would you care to explain how what that person did was an act of thievery and not free-market capitalism? 

[GreasedLightning]

Posted: 10/28/15 at 3:29pm

I would not care to do so, actually, because again you are asking for literal reasoning when I meant it as a figure of speech. We just went through this, silly. 

If you're that hungry for an answer, gypsy101 summed it up pretty well.

The definition of thief literally has nothing to do with legality, just so you know.

[Liza's Headband]

Posted: 10/28/15 at 4:02pm

I am asking you how what the person did was illegal in any way or form.

Why do you care?
