Hamilton Lottery: Win Tickets For $10 For Last December Shows

HOLLYWOOD, CA — Have you longed to see "Hamilton" at Pantages Theatre, but just have on idea how to make it happen? The touring Broadway show is worth the price of admission if you can afford seats even in the rowdy nosebleed section. Since its arrival in Los Angeles, guests have filled the ornate theater, stood in line for the merchandise and spent countless hours afterward listening to and re-listening to the brilliant original cast soundtrack by Lin-Manuel Miranda.

If you've been trying to get tickets for "Hamilton" but don't have the money and haven't yet won the $10 ticket lottery, there's hope.

The show's producer announced Monday that every ticket for the 8 p.m. Dec. 19 performance of the smash-hit musical at the Pantages Theatre will be $10. The tickets will be sold using a lottery system through the Hamilton app, which is available at www.HamiltonMusical.com/app

"Before we leave on Dec. 30, we want to make it possible for another 2,550 people to enjoy the show for $10," producer Jeffrey Seller said. "Accessibility remains one of our strongest goals and we will continue to explore ways to make 'Hamilton' affordable for those who cannot bear the expense of traditional theater prices."

Hopeful theater-goers can enter the lottery through Dec. 17. Winners will be notified beginning Dec. 18, when they receive a single-use code from Ticketmaster that can be used to purchase one or two tickets. Be prepared to drop everything and go if you're chosen. Winners of the lottery will be notified by text message or e-mail the day before the selected performance. Expect that note to drop at 11 a.m. Pacific Time the day before the performance.

The ticket (or tickets) must be picked up at will-call beginning 90 minutes before the show, and ticket holders must immediately enter the theater after picking up their tickets. Winning tickets not purchased by 4 p.m. on the day of the performance will be forfeit.

"Your tickets may be partial view and, while every effort will be made to seat pairs together, there is a chance that pairs will be split up," they said. "Only one entry per person, per performance."
