I just wanted to make sure.

Well they could always cancel it last minute, but as far as anyone knows there will be one.

Don't worry about it vomsy!

It's really not worth staying overnight anymore being that the security guard's have already said that they will be picking people randomly to get into the cancellation line every day. They also said that they will no longer be recognizing any lists or videos that we make.

Are the tickets from people who don't claim their lottery tickets in time just going to go back on sale at the box office at 5?

We're pretty much hoping they won't be sticking to this new policy and if they are, well we have a hotel booked anyway so we'll just hang around before showtime each night, enter the lottery every day and hope for the best. We're prepared for the worst and if nothing works out at least this policy of picking randoms means we can get "out of line" to go see something else.

I'm joining the line Thursday afternoon, if anyone would like be line buddies or my +1 in exchange for paying for my ticket message me! Good luck to all my fellow hamilfans! Hopefully the line will return to running smoothly after all the recent drama. I also want to thank all posters on this thread for sharing your information and experiences 

 

UPDATE: Someone has claimed my +1, thanks all! Still open if anyone else sitting in line just wants a buddy to sit with :)

Always a few seconds too late when I see someone offering. Been dying to try the cancellation line, but I can never get the op because of work to commit so much time waiting. If anyone is planning to wait, I'd happily buy your ticket for you.

Hi all,

I am wondering if any of you With ham cancellation line expirence could help me out! I am wondering what you think the possibility of me going to the cancellation line tomorrow and getting tickets for the same day ? I know that the cancellation line has been closed for a couple of days now and I was wondering if it was worth it and if you can give me and tips/advice as this is my first time trying the cancellation line!!! Plus do you have to be 18 in order to wait in line and buy the tickets ??? Thank you all in advance!

Here's a pic of the crowd waiting to run across the street when the show let out tonight, so they could  line up.

Has anyone walked by the line this morning? Based on some pics from Twitter it looks like the RRT didn't end up enforcing the "no re-forming until 10 am Wednesday" policy after all and I'm curious how many people have hopped in line.

They might have the line go away like they did on Saturday and then pick people at random. There is an in person lottery today.

I wish people would start following the theatre's rules. Maybe they'd respect the cancellation line more.

Yeah, I agree. Apparently the folks who lined up last night lined up across the street to kind of get around the RRT's policy. To my mind, it's difficult to argue that the theater should honor the line's self-imposed rules if the line isn't going to honor the theater's actual rules.

[metalmeatwad]

People shouldn't be mad now when the theater picks people at random tonight to get in. Respect RRT's rules.

So when the staff is picking people at random, are they picking people to stay in the line to wait further or picking people for the actual available tickets?

I'm really sorry to hear this business about the system not being honored, it worked so so well when i was there a few days ago. I got to see the show after 68 hours, both the line experience and the show made it so incredibly worth it and i would certainly do it again. I've documented my experience in its entirety if anyone is interested. It's long, but contains everything you need to know and more, and i think that you'll enjoy the read. I can't say how thankful all the info on here was for the past several weeks. I really appreciate it. Best of luck to everyone.

That was a great read -- so happy for you!  (I've given up on New York but managed Chicago tickets!)

Based on what people who were there said, over the weekend staff picked 20 people at random to stay in line directly prior to the show and cancellation tickets went to those 20 regardless of where they had previously been in line. Some people who had been in line for 4+ days went home empty handed while people who just showed up that afternoon got in. There's no guarantee this is how it will continue from now on but I'm sure we'll know by this afternoon following the matinee.

Beautifully written!  I'm getting all teary-eyed myself!

Does anyone know if today's matinee at 2pm will have the full cast performing?

[Brophie]

Nicely written, until you got to the part about finding religion because you scored a ticket to Hamilton??!  That was just fatuous and ridiculous.  Made you look like a moron.

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.
