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.

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

no just don't have the $20,000 right now.

question: where do these hamheads get the money to see this multiple times?

maybe we can start a 12 step program for these sorry addicted

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".

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.

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



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.

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?

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.
