My understanding has been that Richard Rogers theatre requires printed tickets. If that's the case, how do you print those last minute (sometimes literally last minute, or 5 minutes) Stubhub tickets in time for the start of the show? There are hotel business offices where you can pay to use a computer to print them, but that's not very reliable, given that there are often people waiting in line to use them.

If you can't use the hotel across from Richard Rogers, StubHub does allow you to print at their LMS center it is on 40th between 6th / broadway. It's about a 10 minute walk depending how slow/fast you walk.

I understand Stub Hub will let you print the tickets out at their offices nearby - you should call them first to make sure. Their office is at 114 W 40th St, New York, NY

They do...as soon as you walk into their temporary LMS (while the regular one gets upgraded) you will see computer off to your left hand side. If you are picking up hard tickets you just see the people at the counter.

I saw row B seats 2 ,4, 6, 8 selling as singles for $350 ($422 after fees). I've sat there and that was the lowest I've ever seen those go. When I sat in row B seat 1, the face value was $549 so that price for today was a good deal.

That's helpful. Though one has to keep in mind that there could be a wait at Stubhub, and that traversing several blocks in Times Square can be slow going. So, it depends on just how "last minute" the tickets are.

Andy51 There are hotel business offices where you can pay to use a computer to print them, but that's not very reliable, given that there are often people waiting in line to use them.

The closest I've purchased is 15 minutes to curtain about 3 times. I sit in the 8th floor lounge area of the Marriott and watch prices and rows on my phone, sometimes for 30 min. As the prices get lower and the availability of my desired row get slimmer, I buy my ticket then I log into one of the computers in the FedEx Office and print my ticket. That all takes about 3 minutes and about $2.00 the show has never started at 7pm or 8pm sharp so even if one buys 10 to curtain, there's still time to get down and to your seat. I've never had a situation of a line for using computers to print. There are 5 to use.

I purchased a pick-up only ticket and the walk back from StubHub to the theater took more like 20 minutes. My husband an I walk fast but we couldn't duck out of the way of the masses and tourist. They impede whatever quick stride you may have and you're left to swim in a molasses of people to the theater.

And when I went to SH for pick-up, their computer was down and all of these Beiber fans were panicking. So always keep computer glitches in mind.

Forgive my ignorance on this but I've never personally purchased tickets through StubHub. Are the tickets on there for real? I'm a little paranoid about possibly paying for a ticket for Hamilton only to get there and find out it's not a real ticket.

How's the line today? How early did people arrive and did they split the line for the matinee and evening performance?

I've used stubhub multiple

times for concerts and shows and never had an issues. They're the most reliable and in the unlikely event the tickets are not real...your money is guaranteed still.

Yes, they are usually real. Stubhub guarantees the tickets they sell, but if someone sells a fake ticket there is some chance that you could show up there, the ticket doesn't work, and they can't get you into the show. They would give you a refund (not sure about other compensation), but I think since they hold sellers accountable if this happens, Stubhub is a pretty safe bet for the most part.

My first purchase was TM resale but I've purchased 5 times on StubHub with no problems or email delays whatsoever. The credit card bill is my only problem. LOL!

Other than Hamilton, I've used SH for Yankees games and several concerts.

I am 6th in line for tickets but can't justify spending $200 again so soon after seeing it last week. Am I crazy to pass and hope for 1 standing room ticket? Anyone know the average of SRO tickets they have and how many nights they have none? Thanks in advance!

4:45, right after The Color Purple matinee. Lol But I will tell you, it was an absolute **** show!!! Lines everywhere, people here this morning missing out because they weren't standing in the right place. A stampede to get the line together. Not the pleasant experience I had on a one-show day!!

Random Stubhub question. If you get seats that are marked "pickup" where do you get them? Is it at the Stubhub office on 40th?

I bought Stubhub tickets for the matinee on July 9 (the final day of of Miranda and Odom) for myself and my 10 yr. old son (who is a huge Hamilton fan). The tickets turned out to be invalid and didn't scan. The box office gave me a sheet with the phone number for Stubhub. I figured we were screwed - it was already almost 2pm, and even though I knew we would get a refund, what were the chances we'd actually get seats for this performance? Moreover, a refund for the tickets doesn't compensate for travel expenses or a heartbroken child (and parent). Well, I called, and after about a 10 minute hold spoke to a rep who sent someone over pretty quickly with tickets. We missed the first 2 minutes of the show. But the seats they gave us were row J Orchestra, dead center - among the very best seats in the house- whereas the tickets we had bought were in the rear mezzanine. That left me with pretty positive feelings towards Stubhub, though I guess I wouldn't assume Stubhub always has backup tickets to give out in these situations.

I was on the line today too, first time. I Was told to line up at 5:30 but the guy didn't say where the line started. I stood by the theater at 4:45pm, two lines formed and got contradicting info on the "real" line. Some girls had been there all morning but ended up at the end of the new line. It seemed like such a mess. Maybe 6-8 tickets were released. There was a gentlemen selling tickets at face value but at 8:15pm, I didn't want to pay full price for RMezz and miss the first scene. Oh well.

I'll be on the line around 7am tomorrow with coloring books and snacks if anyone wants to join. I guess I'll have to wait for it!
