Hamilton Cancellation Line

[CercleRouge]

No reason to think any of the main cast will be out for Saturday matinee, right?

How many hours are you up to?  Anyone left the line and gave up?  Anyone already passing on tix for the 9th?  That's a week away soon! hang in there!"

I'm up to 56 hours now. We have bus tickets for Monday morning so we're hoping luck is on our side as things are starting to look very tight. No one that I've noticed is waiting specifically for the 9th but I know a couple people willing to wait that long if they have to. I think a couple people may pass on tickets tomorrow and wait for Tuesday so they can see Lin though.

How many SRO tix are available each show?

I don't know how many are held for cast friends/family and there's also no way to know how many will be released for a show.

Wow, Monday is getting close.  After so many hours invested, I hope you get in.  

If it got to the point of missing the show, I'd buy resale.  Back in March, when I didn't get tickets in the cancellation line, I was surfing on StubHub while on line but tickets didn't go under $700 that night when there had been $400 and $300 all week.  So went home exhausted and glad to crawl into my bed.

My best wishes go out to everyone trying  to get in before before D-Day 2.0!! Hope you all make it and have an amazing experience!!

Quick(ish) update- I got to see the show today! Around 15 tickets went out for today's matinee, including 3 premiums that were sold about 2 hours before the show. All 20 or so people in front of us passed on them and my brother ended up surprising me and snagged a premium for me as a birthday gift. I went in at the regular time, saw 4 people from the line go to their seats right before show time and then found out during intermission that my brother got in as well as the folks who had been immediately in front of and behind us. At least 7 standing room tickets went out and most of the people in front of him in line passed on them so he and several others grabbed them and made it to their spots right as the opening music started. I'm a little bummed that he spent so much money on me when I turns out we could've both gotten in for SRO but we're both just beyond thrilled we got to see the show at all. It was well worth the wait!

Congrats vomsy!!! After all that wait I think you guys would appreciate a seat vs standing room!

:)

The show was amazing! The entire cast was there for our show which I am so, so happy about and it completely blew me away (no pun intended). In my opinion, it 100% lived up to the hype and I am totally happy with our decision to do the cancellation line. Now we're just trying to figure out what to do with all the extra free time we weren't expecting to have!

I think this is the most important question - How/where are phones charged?

[bemily]

Hello! I apologize, I've been reading this board for a while but I only just joined. I also apologize for the fact that I'm not entirely sure how posting on here works so I hope I'm doing this right.  I have a question! I know at this point it's terribly hard to estimate how long of a wait there is, but if anyone would like to hedge a guess what do you think my odds of getting in by Thursday would be if I'm in line by like 8pm tomorrow? I'm coming from like the very top of northern Maine and my friend can't meet me til later on Tuesday so I'm a bit nervous about this endeavor haha. Still want to try though!

 

on a similar note to that last part, will it be any problem for my friend to join me in the line later on? We wouldn't be going for more than 1 ticket each and we wouldn't be swapping out or anything like that, she just has to work until Tuesday early afternoon so she can't come join me right when I get there. I hope that's okay!

People bring portable chargers Or charge them at the Marriott Marquis.

Yaaaaaaayyyyyyyy!  so glad to hear!  and so glad you had the entire cast!  I hope people bought those last minute tickets on StubHub because they were priced alright!  The evening was another story.

This sounds a lot like what happened during the Memorial Day weekend, when it was a ticket festival.  I guess no friends and family want to come see Hamilton during the holidays!  They are like "Nah!  that's alright Uncle Lin...I'm going to the beach!".

GREAT FOR THE CANCELLATION LINE!  Everyone must've been over the moon!

[MyFavoriteBrunette]

And incase anyone is wondering what SRO looks like, I took a picture myself when I was there earlier this week.  Not the best but you'll be in The Room!

She stated the entire cast was there in a following post.  That was a lucky bunch this afternoon!

 

[lafayettelove]

If I wanted to see the show again, should I go like a weekend in August or miss school in October? I just don't want to wait overnight because everyone I knows is impatient and won't do it with me.

I believe the premiums are now $549 and regular $199

Standing room looks great! Sure, the second floor on stage is slightly cutoff but not fully. For $40 to be in the room where it happens? I'm in! :)

Just saw on Twitter it appears Daveed is out today for sure.  Leslie and Chris have July 4th shows out of town tomorrow so they may be out, too.  Saw that the Clintons were at the show last night.  Best of luck to all you in the line today!

[mikem]

I'm pretty sure that Andrew Chappelle was on for Anthony Ramos at yesterday's matinee, but everyone else was in.  Not sure about last night.

 

Presumably, Hillary Clinton is going to be at the fundraiser on July 12, so she'll have seen the show twice in 10 days.  I think we have a real Hamilfan!

You are correct about Andrew Chappelle, I missed that change when looking at the cast list for the show. Premium tickets were $549 and standard are now $199. My seat was row F and I actually ended up sitting right in front of Alex Lacamoire which was pretty cool.

My brother did say that from standing room the top level of the set was cut off so he missed anything going on up there but he didn't have any complaints about that- just said it means we'll have to come again when things slow down a bit! 

We bought two portable chargers that we used to keep our phones working and also had a nearby hotel room where we would take breaks to shower and change so during breaks, we'd plug in our phones and re-charge the chargers. The Marriott also has places you can plug your phone in on the 8th floor and a little vending machine of portable chargers you can rent for the day. 

I went to the stage door after the evening show (pure madness) and ran into a couple of the line people then. They told me about 6 tickets went out for the evening show and 2 of them ended up sitting in the same row as Hillary Clinton! All together about 21 tickets went out on Saturday so I think most of the folks who'd arrived Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday got to see the show!

[ncgator]

Having tix for today, sorry to hear Daveed will be out, but Iooking forward to seeing whoever goes on.  Philly and DC are not that far from NYC, so really hoping Leslie and Chris wait until after the show today to head out.  But whatever happens, hapoens - sure it will still be great!

My last line buddy ended up getting tickets on stubhub, so I am still interested in pairing up with someone this week for the cancelation line. If you are someone who is planning on doing the line anyway and would like your ticket paid for in exchange for me being your +1, please let me know! 

[rdsport323]

so, from Tuesday to Saturday, there are 8 performances, will Lin be performing at all of them?  Does anyone know if he plans on taking any breaks since it is his last week?

 

what about any of the other principle cast members?

[broadwayfever]

I'm pretty sure he'll be performing in the rest of them. However, according to the security guards at the theater, very few cancellation tickets if any at all will be given out during this week due to friends and family members wanting to see the final shows throughout this week.
