Hamilton in the Blizzard — Page 4

I was supposed to go to 54 Below tonight.  Will have to get a refund since I don't know when I'll be able to go next. Oh well. Will see what is on the limited channels on my hotel room TV.

I think that's a little naive. The ONLY reason performances are cancelled is because the mayor "recommended" performances be cancelled (i.e., demanded). The producers, contrary to Ms. St. Martin's statement, could care less about performers' safety. They certainly don't concern themselves with the safety of the crew or house staff. The subways will still be running in Manhattan. It's telling when the "encourage" performers to stay with friends in the city so they can get to work.

Just of curiosity, does stubhub or TM+ refund tickets of shows that were cancelled due to the storm? I understand the box office will refund all original ticket buyers, but those who bought tickets through secondary market like Ticketmaster Plus and stubhub, would a refund of the price paid be possible?

Glad to hear that! I was wondering how they would handle the resale I was hoping it would be refunded for you!

You are very welcome! Have you seen Hamilton yet? If not hopefully you can get in sometime soon! I just saw it for the first time Thursday, I did the cancellation line. It was well worth the price and the 10 hours standing out in the cold! :)

Awe some to hear you'll be refunded!!!

Everything 's on today. Who's seeing Hamilton in the blizzard aftermath?

As of now, everyone is on.

Many do, but they wait until MINUTES before curtain.  If they made it too easy (an hour before, for example) lots more people would wait until those prices dropped.  There are already folks that do so just minutes before.

I do take great joy over the people that put up the tix for exorbitant prices having unsold tickets.

But it looks like there are unsold scalper tickets for every single performance. I kept an eye on the Ticketmaster page today and at least 5 tickets (priced over a thousand dollar) have gone to waste because the vendors didn't lower the price. Doesn't look like a great marketing strategy, if you ask me. Off course a part of me is happy to see them lose their money, but at the same time these are highly wanted seats that won't be filled.
