Hamilton Trade for Tonight, 10/17 |

Surely face-value for partial-view seats, even for Hamilton, is NOT $400 per ticket.
When reading the original post I had the same thought.. $400 for partial view sounds ridiculous (because it IS..). HOWEVER, I did a quick search on Ticketmaster for March, April and May and the low end of resale for C 17 and C 19 was $376 per ticket, plus fees, so the $400 isn't too far off what has become going rate for those seats.
A quick check of StubHub and Ticketmaster for tonight shows 110 available tix, 8% of the available Richard Rodgers Inventory of 1344. with tickets ranging from $190 for Rear Mezz to $2500+ for Center Orchestra, with side Orch F 17-21 listed at $360/each.
The rate does seem to be on par with the inventory that is available in the market for those tix, I wonder how many of these seats end up empty/unsold in the end.
The problem isn't necessarily the price but the fact that it's that price and the show is today. As you mentioned, there are tickets going for less for tonight's show on Stubhub so I'm not surprised this OP isn't getting any takers.
As for your other comment - the tickets do sell, as in the last few hours before curtain the prices drop and people grab the tickets whenever they see a price they like.

Unloading seats on this website is NOT about getting the "going rate" but about the face-value of the tickets.
