Hamilton Cancellation Line

[MyFavoriteBrunette]

vomsy said: Apparently the folks who lined up last night lined up across the street to kind of get around the RRT's policy. 

They would have had to anyway because unlike other nights, there was no way they could line up anywhere near the theater last night.  Getting out was one of the more challenging night's I've encountered.

What a long winded read. Hatred for people who could hire line sitters??? Shoving your way into your seats??? Sitting in a Starbucks for 8+ hours. No showering for 3 days. Bet y'all smelled good after that.

 genabasha great post! I was actually at that ham4ham so I probably saw you in line! Lol

I'm glad you had such a great experience even with the wait being so long. I feel ya on the line sitter thing too. They don't even seem to make sense money wise now with the wait being what it is. 

 

You probably should have over emphasized the steps you took to freshen up. People on here seem to refuse to grasp the concept that you can use these new inventions like deodorant and even baby wipes and not smell when you get into the theater.  

 

[mailhandler777]

Baby wipes is not a shower. Also unwashed hair for 3 days...ewwww.

8 hours is not several hours. You're loitering and taking up seats from other customers. Took me possibly 5 minutes to read it. I'm not jealous of someone that spent 68hrs on the street. I've been on this thread since it's started so no trolling from me. As for having time on my hands I work a full time job plus take care of a house and family. Unlike you who has time on your hands to spend 3 days on the streets of NYC.

 

Honey I'm definitely not angry or jealous of you or anyone that does this line.

Deodorant + baby wipes = a whore's bath.  Plus I don't care how great your deodorant is --- it ain't lasting for 3+ days on the sidewalks of NYC! in 85 degree heat!!

People on here really just need to mind their damn business and stop trolling, lol. *I don't even see how you can hate from outside of the Richard Rodgers... when you can't even get in!* :) xo"

 

You just joined yesterday and don't know what trolling is. People have been here for over 10 years posting.

Wow you people are extra special. You must be a riot at parties.

 

Also you can reapply deodorant... Like however many times you want. They make travel sizes too. 

And the weather in NYC the week she went was not bad. It wasn't even hot if you were in the shade. Which she was.

Are you like 15yrs old?

I do have a phone that has Internet on it that I can catch up on posts.

Like I said before I'm not mad nor am I hating. If I wanted to see the show I would wait until the next block goes on sale. I'll probably wait for the tour to come near me in a few years.

"... The same young, cold, waspy Greenwich couple that cared more about the upper-crust bragging rights that came with having seen Hamilton than the appreciation of the work of art itself..."

Projection, much?

I actually enjoyed most of your cancellation line post. Wait on line one hour, wait on line 100 hours, who cares; it's your time, you do you. 

But not everyone who makes a comment about your writing is a "troll" or a "hater." 

for example, I didn't understand your hate for the couple using the line sitters:

"The same young, cold, waspy Greenwich couple that cared more about the upper-crust bragging rights that came with having seen Hamilton than the appreciation of the work of art itself."

did these people do something to you? How do you know what they do or don't appreciate? Was there a test about levels of appreciating Hamilton that they didn't score high enough on?

They're following the same cancellation line rules to buy their tickets that you are. One person (line sitters are also people) can buy two tickets. 

Making comments about "cold waspy" people, comments about 'others' who are not deserving of tickets, that adds nothing to your recap of what to me sounds like a fun time.

She's deleting all her posts now. Interesting. Oh well they are all quoted in other posts.

I believe that you and the other chick are the special ones.

"She turned around to us. "Wait, what's the name of the guy who wrote this musical again?" she asked. "Lin-Manuel Miranda," I said. And that's when I realized that Hamilton deserved me just as much as I deserved Hamilton"

 
 

So you deserve to see a show more than anyone else in the audience because you know the names of the people involved? People who don't know the names of the cast or creators can love a show as much as the next fan. Hamilton and LMM will do fine without you. Congrats on getting tickets I guess

[Alexander Lamar]

I have seriously considered spending sometime in this line to see the OBC one last time, but J. C. these people sound totally insufferable. 

But I can totally go days sitting next to someone with my earphones in and not say one word, so maybe I'm the weird one.

I'm glad you're all gung-ho about camping on the cancellation time and had a good time.  That's one of the goal of the creators and actors: for you to enjoy yourself.

But really?  You lost me when you said you "chose to be homeless" because you waited for 3 days and nights.  That's not choosing to be homeless.  That's camping on the sidewalk and knowing that if you said, "Eh, screw it.  I'm done," you can get in a car, a bus, on a train, you have a home.  Homeless is not the same.

I'm of the entitled millennial brat generation.  Granted, I fall into the group of "older millennials," but I feel like the entire cancellation line has just become some 19 year old's idea of Utopia.  In the real world, most people do not have the ability to camp out for 4 days to possibly get tickets for a musical.  Because in the real world, people work and usually have 2 days a week off.  In the real world, there is no happy list of what's fair and who goes first.  People do what they want on their terms and chances are, you'll get your toes stepped on.  They don't buy breakfast for you.  I'm not going to pull some, "In the old days..." thing because I did grow up in a time where I never stage doored without a cell phone or Starbucks.  Then again, the very idea of waiting more then a few hours for something was (and still is) absurd to me.  But this absolute fit throwing about rules being changed and acting like it's the end of the world if only 6 tickets are available is just ridiculous.

I know everyone has their own set of values, choices, and goals they live by, but in my eyes, the line has become hot mess that's a nuisance to the neighborhood.  

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go get my nitrogen brewed coffee, retina display MacBook, small-batch locally brewed craft beer, and conflict free recycled diamond earrings and sit on my porch and yell at people who step on my lawn and threaten them with the garden hose.  

(Yes, I'm making fun of millennials.  I am one.  And at times, I just shake my head at life.)

Who hurt you when you were younger?

[sundaymourning6am]

So, I read Gena's recap and, man: what a whiny, entitled See You Next Tuesday. Her disdain for "rich white" people is SO IRONIC because her privileged ass was waiting in line for days (!!!!!) to see a show about the RICH WHITE FATHER OF CAPITALISM. 

I'm glad she got to see the show because who wanted to read her post about waiting in line FOR DAYS ON END and NOT GETTING IN? Not me.

And your disdain for New Yorkers questioning your questionable behavior? If you don't like New Yorkers, GTFO of New York.

Is the line back to the way it was pre-filming?  

[joycekm]

Any chance we can get back to the helpful questions and answers about the line? Disagreement isn't a bad thing in and of itself, but this thread has kinda just progressed to insult-slinging.

The line at 6pm that I saw on my way home had one in front of the theater and one across the street.  I don't know how it was operating tho.

I would also love to hear what the line is like now!! My cousin and I are flying into NYC Saturday and *Hoping* to make the line part of our trip.
