The Thread for HAMILTON Fans/Obsessives [SPOILERS AHEAD] — Page 22

JK re: my previous post. I found out Emmy went on for Angelica yesterday evening and today's matinee, but Alysha Deslourieux was back as the standby in the role for tonight's performance.

Has anyone sat in the box seats? Namely G and/or F? is the view okay? And dare I ask how much do they normally go for normally?

I don't normally get to go to the US, but I'm considering doing the unthinkable.

There's a whole thread devoted to the box seats

I bought my box seats on March 10th. The lower boxes (A, B, C, D) are $239 per seat. I kinda doubt there are any box seats left at this point, but one won't know until you actually go to the box office (go NOW) to ask. The upper boxes were $199 per seat.

They went up that much!!!??? Unbelievable. I purchased a set in November, under 200 apiece. That's a huge jump ( lower boxes)



Also don't know how the can be sold on resale....You get hard tix...nothing to be done electronically. Anyone know?

I don't know the "how" of selling since they are paper tickets, but if you choose to view the resale tickets as a list rather than on the map, they are listed. Perhaps it's the same thing with a new barcode generated that voids the barcode on the existing printed ticket. So if you tried to use the paper ticket that you sold, it wouldn't work.

I see box seats for sale on Stubhub, but not on Ticketmaster so far. I've checked only a couple of performances. I still don't see how you can put your paper ticket, which you purchased in person at the theater, into the Ticketmaster system. But maybe the scalpers are smarter than I am. I wouldn't be a bit surprised.



I know some sporting venues have a deal with Ticketmaster that you can enter the bar code number and put them up for sale. But I don't know if Hamilton is doing that.



Stubhub has a seating chart that includes the eight boxes. Ticketmaster does not.



I would not pay anything over regular price for the box seats. They are partial view. But I guess with Hamilton, anything goes!

I think Stubhub is pretty reliable. I think they have a system in place to refund customers for fraudulent tickets.

Another question: Someone on the cancellation line thread I think said that someone behind her on line purchased a ticket from a person who had an extra ticket (which is apparently common).



I think she said that the person approached the box office with the ticket before purchasing and verified that it was legit. Does the box office provide this service? Can anyone confirm?

Wow reading through this thread sure has been illuminating. I had given up on using stubhub for tickets but now I'll reconsider.

I am seeing the show this Wednesday, March 30 at 8pm. Does anyone know who is playing the role of Hamilton that night, and if any leads are scheduled to be out?

This is my 3rd time seeing the show but my first time seeing it with an actual paper ticket I purchased from ticketmaster directly. I bought it on November 2.

It has been tempting to see that seats in the two rows behind me have been posted for re-sale for about $1700-1900 on ticketmaster. Sure would be a hefty profit. But, I would rather see the show than have that money. Am I crazy? lol Last time I saw the show, I purchased a stubhub ticket and there were still tons of tickets available around my seat. Sure enough, when the lights went down, ALL of those seats were empty. I wonder how many seats at a given performance go empty because nobody paid thousands of dollars for them?

LMM is on vacation next week. Javier Munoz will be on the evening of March 30, per a Twitter announcement.

I'd love to see 'Hamilton', was actually planning a vacation in NYC in July around it, but looked at the ticket prices on Stubhub etc. and there's no way. LMM is so much against bootlegs, but it seems to me his energy would be better directed against the scalpers who bought up all the tickets are all selling them for $2000+. I couldn't even find crap seats for less than $500 each. That's a huge profit for the scalpers, and it means most people who want to see the show have no chance. It's a major bummer.
