Hamilton Side Views

I sat the furthest seat house right (albeit the second row) and it was fine. You just miss the small things that happen on the second level. It was technically a limited view ticket but wasn't bothersome at all.

How much would you spend on 2 seats in row S, Side Orch seats 26-28? Worth $500 ea? Am I crazy to even be looking at these?

Only you can decide if it's "worth" it. I would never pay more than face value for any ticket. Ever. And most of the time, I don't do that.



We don't know your financial situation nor your NY frequency. What is that money "earmarked" for? What other expenses would you need to incur to make this happen? Travel? Hotel? Meals? NOW how much are you spending -- is THAT worth it.

Lastly: could you admit to your parents how much you spent? If not, you probably shouldn't. (And I don't mean to imply you need their permission, but every now and then when I consider "splurging" on something, that's a good barometer to whether I should or not....and I'm OLD.)

This might help with my previous email "Am I crazy?"

I earn a decent living and am a father of 2. This is a combo birthday gift for my wife (of 25 yrs) and daughter (13) who are obsessed. My wife and I are teachers so no time off to take. No cost for our stay in NYC. Only transportation cost is an 8hr drive. We live in Maine and have been to a few Bway shows in the past. Maybe I'm just trying to talk myself into this?

No we have relatives in the city. Free stay. It may be a mute point now because the $500 tickets have been pulled down. I'm sure there will be others.

I have not sat extreme side Row S but from Row R (this past Sunday) and there was no obstruction whatsoever from the overhang. Saw all that there was to see on the upper level stage. I think I was seat 9.

I know S is up a little higher but if there is any obstruction it has to be very minor. I think by being far back you will not miss anything on the stage extreme left or right. When I first saw Ham from extreme right row E there was some action I missed by being so close and so to the side. But I don't think that is the case when you are further away.

I'm so excited that I'm finally seeing the show in a little under 2 weeks. I got tickets for my birthday, the 31st, the night of the Tonys. What was weird was my tickets weren't marked obstructed view until after I bought them..

I'm orch row D seats 19 and 21, I'm not too worried because I'm grateful to be seeing the show, but do you guys know if i am going to have an extremely obstructed view that close?

What do you mean by this?"

For dates prior to Feb 1 the top premium prices were $549 (except for holidays they were higher). The batch that went on sale in June were from Feb 1, 2017 and the premium price went up to $849 and more of the seats were considered premium. So anyone who bought at that premium price and resells (scalpers or regular folk who can't use their tickets in the end) will want to get more than people who paid the lower prices.

According to the person here, it may be February 1.
