Hamilton Cancellation Line |

It's not necessary. 7am would be the earliest, probably. However, there are always the unpredictable days when everyone has the same idea and there's a longer than normal line, just like there are days with a shorter than normal line.
Hi All! Dumb question and already sort of answered: if I'm only trying for SRO, and I tell them that, will they only call me if SRO becomes available and just move down the line if it's premium? Would one lose one's spot in line if the first available is SRO? Thanks all!
We lined up on the right side facing the theatre looking for the matinee show but we left when I found out I won the DEH matinee lottery. While my daughter and I watched DEH, hubby went to line up to get tixs for the evening performance, and he said the line was on the left side facing the theatre. Got excellent row A seats!!! I say if you see a line, just ask the last person if it's the line for the cancellation.
I tried for the matinee today! Got there at 11:30 and was third in line. I was only trying for SRO and everybody ahead of me got in. Unfortunately, no SRO today, but it was worth a shot!
100% of people who waited for regular tickets, however, got into the matinee.
Hi guys! I am near the city for the rest of the summer and am willing to wait in the cancellation line for Hamilton and grab a second ticket if you help out with the price of my ticket on any day!!! (I'm a college student so hamilton's a bit pricey for me...). If you need more than 1 ticket I can bring a friend, but they would also need help with the price of their ticket and the dates I could do would potentially be less flexible (I can do any day, any time. with a friend is more likely to be a weekend). Please PM me!!!
"100% of people who waited for regular tickets, however, got into the matinee."
Great to hear that everyone got in!
The cancellation line has always been hit or miss...waited 12 hours last fall and got standing room- a bit challenging to stand for the show after that long wait -but worth it!
Does anyone know when they hand out unclaimed lottery tickets usually and if so are there usually unclaimed winners?

There usually are unclaimed seats, but the amount varies greatly.
If they are going to hand them out, it can be anytime after the window for claiming has closed. Sometimes that's 30 minutes, sometimes they put the tickets up for sale and don't release them to the line until just before curtain time, sometimes it's sporadically during the day. You just have to line up and see what happens.
I waited in line today (Wednesday 7/12) for the matinee show. I went in line 12:30 and was around the 17th in line. During the process, three people left because they wanted to try Great Comet, and 4 people in front wanted sro. With tickets being released now and then, I was the first in line five minutes before curtain. I was giving up hope but I ended up getting a seat! I was the second to last that got a seat, and I was orchestra G102. Not sure how many sro were released today, but at least five since the friend of the person sitting next to me got an sro and she was behind the 4 that wanted sro.
Hello! I'm going to try the cancellation line for the matinee for the first time tomorrow. To those who have recently gotten into the matinee what time do you recommend lining up? I am hopefully planning on buying the face value tickets rather than SRO.
What is a good time to show up for the line for an evening show on a two show day. Also how does the line work for the evening show?

It's all one line. If you want the evening show, but end up at the front before the matinee, they'll just take the people behind you who want matinee tickets. If you want to guarantee you get tickets, show up by 8am. If you're willing to risk it, come just after the matinee has started. The line has become very unpredictable since its not as in demand anymore. Sometimes it's long, sometimes it's not.
I waited in line a couple days ago (Wednesday 7/12) for the matinee show. I went in line 12:30 and was around the 17th in line. I was losing hope because it's past the "lottery winner payment deadline" for quite a long time and I'm assuming they are already out of tickets, but I had nothing else to do so I stayed. During the process, three people left because they wanted to try Great Comet, and 4 people wanted sro. With tickets being released now and then, I was the first in line five minutes before curtain. I ended up getting a seat! I was the second to last that got a seat, and I was orchestra G102. AMAZING seat for 230 bucks! Center orchestra slightly to the right. Not sure how many sro was released, but at least five since the friend of the person sitting next to me got an sro and she was behind the four that wanted sro in front of me.
I know that you need to arrive before 8 am for an SRO or cancelled ticket - I need just 1. The question is how long would you predict I'd have to wait for an eve show on a 2 show day? Right up to 8 pm curtain or earlier?
You don't necessarily need to get in line prior to 8am. It depends on the day as some days have alot of people waiting and others not very many. I went on a Thursday, which is a 1 show day, and didn't get to the line until 1:30pm. Ended up getting a ticket 5 minutes prior to show starting. I've remember an earlier post of there being no line at all one day and someone just walked up to the box office and requested a cancellation ticket and got one.

That was me! It was friday june 30th-got there about 3:30pm. Literally walked up and got a ticket. I do think that was an exception.

Some good news! Last Christmas I bought prime seats for my wife and daughter (Row Q Orch) for the Sat night show, but couldn't afford one for myself. I figured it was a long shot, but I went to the cancellation line hoping to get one for myself. Arrived at 6 and there were 15 ahead of me. StubHub showed 12 seats still on sale. The first 2 or 3 bought regular seats and the rest of us got SRO tix. The person at the front arrived inline around 4. Good luck!
Did the cancellation line saturday July 15th, for the evening show only. Arrived 1:30 with my partner, we ended up 9th and 10th in the end.
Sidenote: If you arrive before the matinee starts and only want the evening show, there is a separate line! We could have been 5/6 if we'd known, instead of ending up at the end of the matinee line and then moving over.
We were 15/16 originally, then some people left after deciding that after waiting for the matinee it wasn't worth waiting longer, and we moved up to 9/10. Tickets went slowly throughout, mostly later on. We received center orch row F at about 25min to curtain. At my best guess there were about 14 tickets given out in total, much less than usual (There were 25ish for the matinee, according to reports).
It was so so worth it. Seeing Javier as Hamilton alone was worth it. Aside from one rather rude lady behind us the line was great, lots of passionate fans that were great to talk to. Time went fast, especially when we stopped giving a damn about pride and sat down on the (not very nice) ground. Bring lots of water!
Any hamilton fans interested in cancellation line sitting for me (us) for wed July 26th 8pm show?
I think ive seen posts where the fee is me paying for your ticket, which would be fine up to $250/ea per seat
If interested and you are reliable and in for doing this, please pm me
thanks!
Any recommendations on the best day to stand in the cancellation line? Our options would be Aug 12th (but cannot get to line until probably 1), August 13 or August 15th. My kids would stand in line every single day all day in hopes of getting tickets but we just cannot dedicate the entire vacation to Hamilton. :)

I would say, go by the theater on the 12th when you can and if the line isn't long, jump in. If there is a long line, then come back early(like 7/8am) on the 13th, that way you only lose 1/2 a day since it's a matinee only day. Depending on how many tickets you need, not everyone needs to be in the line the whole time, so you can switch out.
Also, have everyone enter the on-line lotto, you just might get lucky and win enough tickets.
Thank you!!! That was kind of our plan.....check it out Saturday and see what the line looks like. I thought it would be impossible but I'm seeing some of these posts with people getting tix getting in line early afternoon on Saturday. Just wasn't sure about Sunday vs Tuesday but you are right, Sunday would mean less time in line.
I've read so many different things about the standing in line! I have a 12 and 14 year old. I'm hoping my husband and one kid can stand in line and maybe we can switch out? Trying to prepare my kids for the very real possibility that we could stand in line for a very long time and still not get tickets!
We can pay with credit card, right? I really don't want to be walking the streets of NYC with cash. I swear I read somewhere that it was best to bring cash? Maybe that is in case someone is trying to sell tickets?

Officially swapping is not allowed, though you could call it an extended break.
If you want the kids not to worry just get there extra early.
Bring a 2nd credit card just in case the first doesn't work. Cash isn't needed ever as you could simply take a street seller, who are rare these days, to a nearby ATM.

The line has become unpredictable since the show is not the #1 draw anymore. I would also think about how you would want to handle if they only have 2 tickets available and whether you'd want to split up and see it on different days/nights or either everyone sees it or no one does. Also, consider how to handle it if you end up getting 2 seats and 2 SRO. Who goes where? Your kids are old enough that they could sit by themselves. I've also volunteered to keep an eye on a young teenager who ended up in the seat next to me when it happened to the family I was in line with, since we'd been chatting for hours.

Yes, if you want 4 tickets, as long as there are always at least 2 people in line you're fine.

Yes, you can pay with a credit card. Have fun and good luck!
