Hi all!

Apologies if this has been addressed; I've only been able to find one small reply regarding a cancellation line for the Kennedy Center.

Apparently there is one, but what are the ticket prices like?  Is it the same as in NY where we've essentially got two prices; one of which is premium and one of which is "regular"?

And what might those prices be??

Kennedy Center cancellation tickets are face value, meaning it could be $99 or $625 or anywhere in between, depending on what tickets they have. I’ve heard it’s usually 0-4 tickets total available. They would also rather see a seat go empty than discount it. I discovered that when, one minute before curtain, the box office manager told me that there were no seats left below my price limit, and that she had three empty seats at twice that price each, but that there were no discounts, and so I left and those seats went unused.

Oh that really sucks.

I'll stick to playing the lotto every day and planning another trip to NY in the next year or so.

Would have been nice to see it here at home, but the pricing, etc. has been pretty ridiculous.  I was pleasantly surprised to see how easy and relatively reasonable tickets are in NY if you just plan way in advance and take your time looking for tickets.  I was stunned and so excited when we saw it a few months ago that I know I didn't fully absorb the show.  Seeing it several times is a must if at all possible, as far as I am concerned :)

What the heck is Hammy???

Also the Kennedy Center doesn't do a lottery. They do have SRO though.

Oh, you know!  Hammy!  The show about pigs that fly.

Kidding; we're talking about Hamilton.

They are doing a lotto for the KC run.  I'm entering daily via the Hamilton app.  I didn't know they did SRO; are those seats only available the day of the performance or can you buy them ahead of time?
