She was on a waiting list for tickets to the touring show coming to Kansas City this summer. She just got an email today alerting her that tickets were available, she went online and after about half a dozen attempts, was finally able to snag a pair of tickets.
At $430 a pop. :eek:
I guess I won’t be needing to buy her anything for Mother’s Day, or her birthday, or Christmas… for the next few years.
The tickets here in San Antonio run as high as $900 each. Crazy!
Yep, when I saw it in DC last September the only tickets left by the time I got to the head of the online members-pre-sale queue were the $650 (each) ones. I saw it again in NYC in January, and “only” paid $400-something.
My wife and I decided not to “do presents” this year, and instead we bought Hamilton tickets for NYC.
Even though they were insanely expensive, we thought it was money well-spent.
She said “We never do anything fun.” I said “Whad’ya mean? We’re going to see Avengers tomorrow night!” 
Yeah, it was a chunk of cash, but I figured it was a once-in-a-lifetime thing, might as well jump on it while we got the chance.
If you’ve already spent that much on tickets, you’ve pretty much committed yourself to a $250 dinner.
I won that lottery when Hamilton came to Boston, but I guess I won earlier since I got the seats for $230/each. And they were excellent seats. At that bargain price, I ended up buying 4. 
These prices seriously blow my mind
Hamilton played in Rochester this week. Somebody told me that the cheapest seats available cost $250.
Yep. As much as I’d like to see Hamilton, this right here is why I probably never will, lol.
That’s well into “yikes!” pricing territory for me!
I don’t understand these prices. I actually saw Hamilton two weeks ago, and had purchased the ticket three weeks before that for $84. This was in San Francisco on a work trip.
Is this just because it is at the beginning of the run in these cities, and it would have been these prices in SF too at the beginning.
Yeah I’m thinking hotel room, dinner… might as well make it a mini-vacation. (Can’t afford to go anywhere else now!)
Hamilton just extended its run in San Francisco. I don’t remember what we paid. I was sitting on the virtual queue for hours, and we bought them when we were in NY where TKTS tickets were $100 each for less desired (but still good) shows,
So there is demand.
Odd - I think they max out at $400 something in San Francisco, where you’d think it would be higher.
It’ll be here in August.
My tickets were $85 each.
I’m just guessing but it might be a function of the size of the theater. If the show is performed in a theater with a thousand sets it would have to charge more per seat than it would in a theater with four thousand seats.
You sure you actually own those tickets? Proctors sez tickets won’t be on sale till June.
Shoeless, you could have come to the Godzilla and Friends film festival, this past weekend, for free! Well, we do hope for donations, but not $430. There was a guy I met this year who drove from Hutchinson to Topeka to attend, he is a lawyer.
Baker that sounds awesome! Too bad I missed it.
Man, $240ish is what I paid for the seats in Chicago, through a broker (Picktix or Stubhub or something). And they were ground level, center and not very far back. Guess things have only gotten pricier since winter 2017-18.
Congratulations to the OP though since it should be a hell of a show.
