Couldn't find another post on here re: Thanksgiving weekend, but it seems there are Premium Orchestra seats being sold by Ticketmaster for $999 each.  These shows had all been previously sold out as of two weeks ago - they must have held them back?

It's possible these seats had been held back for some reason and then not needed.

Or Ticketmaster investigated the buyer and found that the person violated the terms of service by buying too many.

But the price is pretty high! There's got to be a backlash at some point.

I looked at a performance with the seats left and I don't think it's Ticketmaster looked into someone. There was at least 15 seats there for $998. I doubt someone bought 15 seats at that price. But then again who knows with Hamilton tickets. I'm not quite sure, but wasn't thanksgiving week part of the release where tickets were $500 for premium. I may be totally wrong, but if so maybe they held back some tickets so they can sell them for a higher since it's thanksgiving break.

I thought the premium seat price went up to $849 for the block starting Jan 31, 2017.  Is $998 the highest retail price they've had?

There is other math.

Buy three tickets, sell two for $1500, see Hamilton for free.

I think you are right Castle.  Highest price from the theater I have seen so far.  Releasing these tix now def will bring down the resale prices too, more supply with same demand.....
