Hamilton Cancellation Line

That's not nice. So you shouldn't be saying it.

You folks love to dish it out, but you sure can't take it.  Keep racking up your years here, Lizzie.  I'll be moving on.

Peace out.

Kad and LizzieCurry both consistently offer up intelligent critique here, and never once have I seen either of them be anything approaching mean. If you're really that offended by what they're saying, perhaps that is your problem. 

[LizzieCurry]

How complimentary! I beg to differ -- I have been mean here. But not in this thread.

[perfectlymarvelous]

Ha! I believe you, I just haven't seen it.

Kad said: "I'm stunned that you think that someone should be shielded from adverse responses because they've shared an experience on a public forum.

And that the people sharing the experience are also sharing adverse comments regarding people using sitters ahead of them or patrons in the theater.  Should they also be held to just saying nice things and only share essential facts of how the line operated?  I mean, when one puts it out there--that's it!  It's up for debate and discussion.

By all means, wait in line. I haven't attacked anyone for doing so. I don't get it, but whatever, people probably don't get why I've watched the same video of a cat dressed as a bee falling off a chair over and over again.

I object to the people in line who have a hyperbolic public tantrum over some perceived slight while waiting in line, or the people who think waiting in line makes their experience of seeing the show more authentic, or the people who think they appreciate or get the show more deeply because they chose to wait in some line.

Basically, I object to the superfans who use the fact they've waited in a line on a sidewalk for three days to assert their own... fan superiority. If you're gonna treat yourself like a true believer waiting for Moses to come down from the mountain because you've waited in a line to wait in a cancellation line for a Broadway musical, you deserve a little ribbing.

There is so much beef on here can everyone just get along and wait on the line together in harmony bahah

Aaron Burr would wait on line for Hamilton tickets. Alexander Hamilton would just go write his own damn musical.

I love how these kids just disappear or delete their posts after not getting their way and making themselves look like fools.

Burr would "Wait For It" via the line.  Hamilton would have been "Non-Stop" and go directly to StubHub, LOL!

Wow!  At that wait rate, one will need to be in place or have line sitter hired no later than Tuesday-Wednesday to have a possibility of getting in Saturday night.

And what if all the house seats for Sat night are used by the RTT friends and family, all lotteries claimed and maybe just a pair of premiums are the only ones to come out that night being that's it's Lin's departure performance.  Dang!  That's gonna be one angry mob!

This is speculation, but I can't imagine that many, if any, tickets would go out on July 9, maybe even the couple days before. I bet that they will all go to family, friends, or celebs. You never know, but I think you are right about this.

I keep trying to buy last minute tickets on StubHub etc... (I'm talking about 10 minutes before showtime) but since I'm only a single person, my options are limited (most tickets are sold only in pairs). Is anyone interested in meeting up with me at the Marriott and purchasing tickets together? Two days ago there was a pair for less than $500 each, but I wasn't going to buy the pair just for myself. Anyone into that idea?

If I were you I'd go to the cancellation line an hour ago and gauge interest whether any of them are willing to buy a pair of tickets on stubhub with you. 

From my recent cancellation line experience, the first 5-7 people tend to be deadset confident on buying cancellation tix. Then those numbers 7-20 who are unwilling to sleep another night will go for premium tix or cheap enough stubhub tix. 

I've been following stubhub ticket sales this week and saw a $599 orchestra seat for yesterday's matinee and $1685 orchestra seat for yesterday evening's show. I normally look within the last 10 minutes before start of performance. Seems to me matinees tend to be cheaper in the reseller market?

Have you checked for tonight? I see several singles available in the $700 range (after fees, which is about what the $500 ones would be). One is a box seat, but know that the top level box is so high you are almost looking over and down at the stage. The bottom level didn't look too bad. 

 

[CercleRouge]

Yeah not a bad idea to approach the cancellation line, though of course if someone leaves the line to join me in a StubHub search, there's still obviously no guarantee they will get in.

 

I wasn't able to get here (the Marriott) until 6:45 today, but as of right now there's a pair in Front Mezz center, Row E, for like $500 each. Annoying, again, that I just need a single ticket.

 

I saw that box seat earlier but didn't get a chance to do anything before it disappeared.

I will be in the line starting Sunday the 3rd (evening). If you found a pair for about $500 each for the Tuesday or Wednesday shows, I would definitely go for that. I would leave the line for a legit, affordable ticket offer.

I'm sure this has been asked somewhere, but is there anyway to find out how many seats go unsold on StubHub/TicketMaster re-sale?

[nrubanobroadway]

What days does Javi go on for Lin during the week?

[lafayettelove]

Anyone on the line now??? How is it?? I might join if it's not too terrible but I highly doubt it. 

[nrubanobroadway]

Lafayette ove, Obviously now is too early, but I think that it would be a good idea to go for the 7th or 8th since people may pass on tickets to see Lin's last show!

[nrubanobroadway]

Sorry but I'm looking back at page one and wishing I had a time machine right now 

"literally, just after my last post, I checked the website and saw. Gonna try for tomorrow's matinee (hoping the daylight savings plus the awful winter weekend will keep people away, but who am I kidding, I'm looking for any kind of reasoning for why sitting in line for 5 hours tomorrow makes more sense)"
