• Read the box seats thread.
• Read the cancellation line threads (there's more than one).
• Enter the lottery if you live in or near NYC.
• Join the Hamilton official e-mail list to find out when the next block of tickets go on sale (Feb. 2017 - April 2017 show dates).
• If you have an American Express card, sign up for e-mails from them about Entertainment Access®.

American Express® Presales: During the specified sales period, tickets are available exclusively to all American Express® Card Members (including Prepaid and International Cards).

The November 1st 2016 through January 31st 2017 block of tickets went on sale (for American Express cardholders) on January 25th 2016.

 

On sale to General Public:

Start: Tues. 2/2/16 10:00 am

American Express Presale:

Start: Mon. 1/25/16 10:00 am
End: Tues. 2/2/16 9:59 am

 

On January 25th, I looked into American Express pre-sale tickets for Hamilton.  The cheapest seats were $139 for side rear mezzanine.

 

Also, on January 25th, there were seats available for $179 each for center rear mezzanine.

 

IMPORTANT:  When the next block of tickets go on sale, the prices will increase!  Earlier in Hamilton's Broadway run, the cheapest seats were $99 (side rear mezzanine).

 

Also, you used to be able to get box seats for $167.  Now you will pay $199 - $239 for box seats.

Trying to get tickets to Hamilton will cost you one of two things:

1. A ridiculous amount of money

2. Hours of your time in the cancellation line (and even that does not guarantee admittance)

You can try your luck at the lottery, but that's becoming a one in a million chance. I would think that it would have been obvious by now that if you want to see Hamilton, you'll need to purchase your tickets 8-10 months in advance. I saw the show in December and had purchased my ticket in July, before the REAL hysteria set in. The seat that I paid $75 for last July Ticketmaster has now been peddling for $150.
