Richard Rodgers seating

Ok I just bought tickets to see Hamilton on 6/8.  I'm confused by the row.  Rear Mezzanine row M?  This is not on the seating charts?  I was there this summer in the 2nd to the last row of the theater and it was row F which is what the seating charts reflect.  Did they reletter to make the Mezz front and rear sequential letters?

I guess the first obvious question to ask is, where did you buy the tickets? As far as I know, tickets for 6/8 aren't on sale yet, and there is no Rear Mezzanine Row M. If you bought them on stubhub or something like that, they might be fake. Make sure you only get resale tickets on ticketmaster.

Not sure where Alex172005 is getting his information, but Rear Mezz Row M is the next to last row. To see the seating chart, go to the url you entered to buy the tickets, and change www.ticketmaster.comXxx to www1.ticketmaster.comXxx (add a 1 after www) and you'll see the seating chart. Hope this helps.

A new block of Verified tickets went on sale this morning through Ticketmaster.

Front Mezz at the Richard Rodgers is Rows A-F, Rear Mezz is Rows G-O. You're fine.

The first time I saw Hamilton (I’ve since seen it twice in Chicago) was on Broadway in 11/2015. Paid way more than face value for last row of rear mezzanine. It’s to the credit of the show that it became my favorite show despite my knees screaming at me the whole time. There is almost little-to-no legroom in the rear mezzanine of the Richard Rodgers. Hope you got an aisle seat and/or have short legs. You’ll have a great time regardless, but better if you don’t need a lot of legroom.

Second what Miles said. First time I saw it I was in the balcony/mezzanine, and it was TIGHT! I'm 5'9" and my knees were hitting the chair in front of me. And that was on the aisle. Poor dude in front of me was like 6'5", so I know he was struggling. Second time I was in orchestra and was much more comfortable.

The first row of the REAR mezzanine has excellent leg room! You're sitting behind a short curtain. Your legs can dangle to your heart's content.

I think they relettered the Rear Mezz to continue from the Front Mezz, instead of duplicating row letters

I believe so, as the OP commented.  I just went on September 26th and had great seats in the rear mezz, Rows D & E seats 1,3,5,7.  D is the row directly over the entryway to the front and rear mezz.  It was great not to have any heads in the way, tight even for me at 5'2" to have a half wall right at my toes!  But the view was great and I wanted to get seats for friends during the pre-sale in the same section and was thrown off by what in my mind was row D coming up as row K.  For a second, I thought I had the wrong theater and show!

My apologies, when I checked I hadn’t seen any tickets for that date on sale, and they must have changed the row letters recently because the rear mezz used to start at A. In fact, if you search for seats this week they’ll still show the old lettering, even on ticketmaster. Again, I apologize for not being more up to date. I’ve just heard so many fake ticket stories and wanted to avoid somebody else being scammed. Enjoy the show.
