'Hamilton' extends Chicago stay; tickets on sale Sept. 27
The "Hamilton" ticket scramble recommences at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 27, when a new block of tickets goes on sale for the Chicago production.
Days before previews begin at the PrivateBank Theatre, producers of the Broadway blockbuster announced the Chicago run of Lin-Manuel Miranda's hip-hop musical will extend 26 weeks, through Sept. 17, 2017.
Fans waited hours online and in line last June attempting to purchase tickets for the Tony Award-winning show about Founding Father Alexander Hamilton.
Tickets will be available online at BroadwayinChicago.com, by phone at (800) 775-2000 and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the box office at 18 W. Monroe St., Chicago.
Tickets range from $65 to $180 and will be limited to six per household. In addition, there will be an online, day-of-show lottery for 44 $10 seats for all performances. Lottery seat locations will vary but will include front row tickets.
Last June, fans reported online resellers offering single tickets for as much as $8,000 per ticket. Theatergoers reported Ticketmaster prices of up to $600 for weekend and holiday seats.
