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)"

I saw that box seat as well but I am 99% certain it was for pickup only; not Instant Download. Given how you only have minutes to get the tix and what not, I'd buy only "instant download" tickets from stubhub.

I know right? I was going to suggest to you to just buy tix from stubhub similar to what cerclerouge is plannign to do. In fact, why don't you guys pair up together? I know for me, I prefer to buy a ticket from stubhub or TMresale rather than from a scalper but that's just me. Others may feel different.

Also keep in mind they did record the performance. Hopefully someday it'll be on BroadwayHD. Just thinking about it, imagine if BroadwayHD made Hamilton as the first musical on Broadway to be ever livestreamed?!? Wow! At a cost of $10 too.

That's a good idea, Wick3!

Cerclerouge, if you see a pair of tickets on stub hub for under 400 each (I understand that is unlikely), I would love to pair up on July 6th for the night show.

CercleRouge said: "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?

THIS sounds A LOT better than asking someone on line to be their plus one on the line as it isn't working anymore with the length of waiting time. I hate to admit, Hamilton has made me the StubHub Queen at home--not a title I was planning on earning.

Do the Marriott FedEx for 7pm performances (they close at 7pm)

Do the Staples on 8th & 48th for 8pm performances (they close at 8pm)

Do StubHub offices on 40th St in the lower level of the Courtside Mariott if too many tickets are pick up only. (They close at 8, have computers, print tickets and are 10 minutes away on foot).

Sunday afternoon, when the OBC was filmed, tickets did get down to $700 and $500. I was watching while at a Yankee game.

Actually only the FedEx counter itself at Marriott closes at 7, the computers remain accessible to anyone with a hotel room key, OR anyone who's just sitting in there before it closes. Trust me, I'm an expert. crying

I've yet to see any go quite this low recently, unfortunately. 500 + fees minimum, I think.

I've been casually looking at stubhub tix as well and rarely ever see prices below $400. Stubhub adds 10% fees?

Why would anyone not understand that? I, for one, would love to see this video. I'll wait for approximately as long as I waited in the Hamilton cancellation line. laugh

How is buying from StubHub or tm resell ANY different then buying from scalpers?? The only difference is more people are getting you money.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Nope. They always charge the seller 10%, but they charge the buyer whatever they want, based on supply and demand. I found this out the hard way after seeing a $275 fee on a $200 ticket. I contacted them thinking that was an error, but they confirmed there is no set fee rate for the purchaser. It usually seems to be in the $130-$150 range, but there are exceptions. You can change your search options to show the full price after fees.

Ah I see. I didn't know that. Next time I'll change the option to show full price after fees.

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

I'm still in line and "the list" currently has 27 names on it for a total of roughly 47 tickets. However, several people behind me in line have expressed reluctance to stay the night so there's a strong possibility they leave after tonight's show.

Last night only 7 tickets went out so there's been a consistent decrease in the number of tickets available which is partially inflating the wait time. We were chatting with RRT staff earlier who think we (#19 on "the list" Hamilton Cancellation Line might get in on Saturday night but most likely not until Sunday. Luckily we aren't picky about seeing Lin so we don't mind seeing the Sunday matinee.

LOL! I see you have a StubHub crown yourself! LOL! GREAT to know one can stay in there after 7pm. I did see the sign regarding the room key access. I think there may be a good chance tonight. Tickets in the rear mezz are starting at $900 but once they start dropping, they will go fast. If $500 is your threshold, it may be tough. I paid $550 in May for 4th row and that was the day before the Tony nominations. The next day, prices were never the same.

But wasn't there 3 tickets given out on wed evening? Wouldn't that be an increase on number of cancellation tix available given there were 7 tickets given out last night? Either way, good luck! I hope you get to see it saturday evening. :)

Did cancellation exactly a month ago and got in, not waiting overnight. I would like to do it again, but seeing the OBC is not a priority, because I already did. Would you guys recommend going after summer is over (in like October) or just going after July 9th??

Oh, it's definitely better than the Wednesday shows, just not quite the average it had been before.

I'll be going later in the summer after July 9th since a friend is visiting who loves the show (but doesn't care about OBC) so we'll be waiting in cancellation line again. I'm really hoping the wait will not require an overnight wait by then.

@vomsy, good point. Good luck though and hopefully you guys will get in by Sat eve.

Just say to yourself "I'm paying the 2017 premium seating price for the 2016 cast".

Incase it's the cast that matters to you the most to go and see.

Not to be a creeper but your #Hamilquest updates on Twitter are entertaining; I can't wait to see the Sat/Sunday tweets when you get in!

and the lunch vote should always be Shake Shack. Hamilton Cancellation Line

Haha, thanks! I'm glad you've enjoyed them. Most of the wait is pretty boring so I've had to amuse myself however I can.

8 tickets total went out today- 1 premium earlier in the day and 7 other tickets right before the show. I'm still not sure exactly the makeup of those 7 tickets as far as house vs sro.
