The one challenge with Hamilton, at least in NYC, is that it seems most of the seats are premium seats, so you can easily get up to $600+ per ticket; we elected not to do that... My daughter who is a teacher went to a matinee two weeks ago with her class.Tickets were $10 each for mezzanine seats. She previously saw the show 3 times. She went to high school with the first actor who portrayed Hamilton when the show opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very cool. The original Hamilton was Lin-Manuel Miranda, the playwright, Pulitzer, Tony, Grammy, and Emmy award winner. (If he can get an Oscar, he’ll one-up the EGOT). Nice guy to have as a classmate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not just the actor of course, but as markeb said above, Lin Manuel-Miranda is also the genius who created Hamilton and wrote the music and lyrics. And if your daughter went to Hunter, she's no slouch in the brains department either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our return from Bermuda to NY some years ago on the NCL Gem, we sailed into a nor'Easter, after first taking a detour to rescue six folks who were stranded on a sailboat that had lost all its power. That was an incredible experience, as was the wild ride back to NY later that day and night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare little britain Posted April 18, 2019 #218 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Looking to buy Come From Away tickets for October.... it is coming up at $150per ticket for the matinee on Sunday!! Is this a normal price or is there a discount site I can use! We don't pay that much in England for the theatre!!! I also checked out Hamilton but that was over $350 each!! I got tickets in London for £75! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted April 18, 2019 Author #219 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I bought tickets last year from tkts which sell half price tickets but there is no guarantee what plays will be on that list . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got tickets in London for £75! Broadway theatre is more expensive than the West End. As George said above, you can try TKTS on the day of the show, but you never know in advance what shows you can get. If there were a show I really wanted to see, I’d get the tickets in advance. Come From Away is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. I have been telling my friends (I’m in America) to fly to London to see Hamilton. We had fabulous seats there for a fraction of what they would cost in NY, if you could even get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted April 18, 2019 Author #221 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I buy 90 percent of our tickets via tkts sites , but if you really want to see this great play 150 a piece is not a bad price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
