 How weird cuz I was clicking on the price, location, value tabs and refreshing. I still only saw the 2 pick up listings. It's so strange how much different sites appear from person to person or on different devices.

"I watch stubhub sometimes to see the prices and the drops but have never purchased off of it (yet). I do wonder what happens to the empty unsold seats . . . the ones left at showtime. The theater must watch this too, no? I can't imagine that a few minutes into the show they won't let people go to the very few empty seats and sell more SRO? No?

Or perhaps the ushers just let SRO people sit in the unsold seats ? I have been to the show several times, and I have never seen a seat remain empty after the first song or so when late seating occurs.

Remember that in these cases, the empty seats aren't unsold. They're empty because they weren't re-sold. So the theater has made its money from them.

Well there's the mixtape, documentary, Chicago opening, tour opening, London opening and most of the original cast are still there. So...a while.

It's called planning ahead, buying face value and being patient. Seen it twice - first time $149 second time $179. Both excellent seats.

You seem more addicted to hating it judging by your posts so far than anyone here is to loving it.

As soon as people stop caring. Is it really that difficult to wrap your head around the monumental significance of this show (without regard to whether you personally like it or not)? For the first time in most of our adult lives a theatre piece is actually a major cultural phenomenon. It's a ray of hope in our poor step child of an art form. No reason for so many people to freak out. What's the pathology behind this? Low self esteem?

I sat near a pair of empty seats that stayed that way both times I attended, in April and in May. Once in the front mezz and once Row H center orchestra.

These kinds of comments are so ridiculous. Of course there are someties empty seats, and one person's anecdote that they never saw any in their "several" times at the show is the height of meaningless. There are a lot of people going to see Hamilton. Some die on the way. Some go into labor. Some get too drunk at a bar beforehand and forget their plans. Some are in serious car accidents. Some may even be taken hostage by martians. And then there was the dude who met the girl of his dreams on the street and somehow seeing The Notorious REG  became less important.

"When the next blockbuster is out."

Exactly and as great as it is I don't see it running forever like a "Phantom" or "Wicked".

it's much better than both of those shows so we can agree that quality and longevity aren't exclusive.

I'm going to go out on a huge limb here (snark) and say no future Hamilton cast members will have any post-run haircuts covered in USA Today.

Hopefully people that paid $1000+ for tickets make more than minimum wage

 

Can't imagine it's worth working 100+ hours for one Broadway show ticket...

We can't agree that it's much better than both of those shows, since in fact, it's much worse. It is true that quality and longetivity do not always go hand in hand, but what some may deem to be of quality may in reality be anything but.

In the abstract, that's true, but when tethered to YOUR troll-like posture of "reality," it suddenly becomes as false as singing an A flat when an F sharp is called for.

Why is there so much snarky nastiness on all the Hamilton threads? If you don't like Hamilton or its fans, why participate in the threads?

I saw the same show today. It was funny.

Because some people want the theatre to be a little cult and freak out when it enters the broader cultural consciousness. Other people are just garden variety trolls. Neither of these groups are actually theatre-lovers; they are more interested in their own egos than the theatre.

Hey, people can love two things at once! They just might be more self-centered about the other!
