This was sort of a disaster, wasn't it? Every search I ran took 2-3 minutes (I timed it), and I didn't get seats at all. I've done Hamilton tour ticket presales in four cities, and all of them, even the ones that have crashed websites, have been easier than this. I hate Ticketmaster.
I eventually gave up. Searching took forever, and ultimately everything seemed to be rear mezzanine or once I got back of orchestra. Even apart from price, it seemed like only the least desirable tickets were available.
I got onto the site right at 10 am, and managed to get third row mezzanine. But I only wanted two tickets. Talk about plan ahead: January 2019?? I can't even think about June 2018 clearly.
I had an 11am slot and got great seats in Row A Rear Mezz for 1/17/19. Easiest Ticketmaster Verified Fan experience yet, for me. I'm sorry it didn't work out as well for some of you.
My time was 11 and I just logged on. Tons of seats still available, albeit for a ton. I can't believe they are selling rear orchestra seats that are obstructed for $235.
When I was in the city over a week ago, I went to the box office to see what kind of tickets they have for a show the next evening. They offered me side orchestra seats, Row G near the aisle at regular prices. Depending on the day of the week, you may get lucky just walking up to the box office and see what they have.
I don't know why Hamilton doesn't do a virtual line for releases. It works very well, barring technical difficulties. I did it for Harry Potter recently and was No, 4,000 something. I waited about 15 minutes, and I was in. Very smooth.
Took me a little longer than usual but I did end up getting a nice pair in front mezz row A for a client. I wanted to get a small block of seats (the six more I could have bought) for me and some friends as well, but could not find anything worth having for any of the dates we could attend. I can't complain too much; I have been successful every time I have tried and will see it for the third time next month. Now if they would only get some new Schuyler sisters...
