So what time do the General Release tickets go on sale on Thursday?

If you were chosen to get a code or be on standby, you would have more than likely found out by now."



Yes. But you don't receive an email regarding your status either way? I thought the only two options were to get a code or be on standby. Thanks for your help.

That is indeed curious. It also seems curious that there's a policy on the FAQ page which says that tickets may be cancelled for a refund up to a certain point before the show date. Ticketmaster has never come close to Telecharge with regards to leniency in this area, but for this particular show they've stated in writing that you're allowed to change your mind.

Perhaps the show's thinking is that no ticket, especially at this point, will go unsold, so they've concluded that there's little risk in allowing would-be attendees an unusual degree of freedom.

The FAQ page says that tickets purchased more than 28 days in advance can be cancelled/refunded any time up to 14 days prior to show time.

I didn't see anything indicating whether Ticketmaster refunds the full charge, or retains their "fees".

I think if a good chunk of the house ends up on StubHub, then a good chunk of future tickets might get canceled. Hamilton did a massive audit and opened up a bunch of seats all at once like that...

As I read the ticket info on the HP website, I'm beginning to think Feb 8 is not really a "public on sale date" since no time is specified and they say "tickets can be purchased as and if available" or something to that effect. Based on that, I'm guessing they will release all tickets, including premium, tomorrow - whatever shows up on or more likely after Feb 8 will only be cancelled or returned tickets. Otherwise, they'd have a time and/or actually call it a "public on-sale" date or something. So basically starting Feb 8, we (those of us without tickets) can all just constantly check and recheck Ticketmaster.

Anyone care to disagree and make me feel slightly more optimistic about my chances on the 8th since I'm standby yet again?!?!?!

And rightly so. If people are just buying them to resell them, then I'm all for those tickets being cancelled.

I don't think that's how it works, though. If they decide to do a ticket audit against the codes that were sent, it would be against anyone who used a code that wasn't theirs, not just the ones that ended up on StubHub.

Yes, it might be a ****show but you might end up with cheaper tickets than with Stubhub. Even if it's annoying, give the official ticket channel a shot first before going to other dealers. You'll get a better deal and you're guaranteed to have legit tickets. I wouldn't want someone to purchase $2,000 tickets for a family of four, only to be turned away because they're not valid."

Stubhub has a buyer guarantee, if the tickets happen to be fake, which is extremely rare nowadays they will find you replacement tickets or give you a full refund. It couldn't be more safe."

Yeah, but do you want to take that risk of planning an entire trip to New York to find out that your tickets are invalid? And I'm not talking just about fake tickets but invalid ones. If someone for the production is trolling Stubhub and noting which seats on being sold, who know if those tickets will be accepted? Yes, that's probably a stretch but it's best to get tickets from the official source than going to secondary dealers.

That's really so rare nowadays though, they have it setup that the seller will actually have to put their credit card information in as well. You can't just sell fake tickets on stubhb and get away with it easily on stubhub. The system just doesn't work like that currently. Of course it's better to get them from the official site if you can but anyone who buys off stubhub shouldn't be worried about it.
