The show will run Feb. 12-Mar. 10.
You can buy up to four tickets. That's for the entire run, not per evening. Tickets will cost between $86-$196, with some premium seats going for $489. Each performance will have a lottery for 40 seats; those will cost $10.
Here's where you'll sit with each pricing level:
Premium $489: select center front orchestra seats in rows FF-A
1, $196: front and mid orchestra; mezzanine front, sides and boxes
2, $186: mid-to-rear orchestra; rear mezzanine
3, $146: rear orchestra; balcony front, sides and boxes
4, $116: rear balcony
5, $86: gallery
Every night the Straz will use the "Hamilton — The Official App" to hold an electronic lottery for 40 seats costing $10 per ticket. You can text HAMILTON to 73005 to get text alerts about the lottery, too.
There are two American Sign Language-interpreted performances: Feb. 14 at 7:30 p.m. and Feb. 23 at 2 p.m.
Once they go on sale, you can buy tickets online, in person or by phone.
In person, Straz Center staff will start handing out wristbands at 5:30 a.m. and stop at 7 a.m. The Straz will not allow overnight camping. Each wristband will have a number and staff will choose random numbers; if they call your wristband number, you can get in line to buy tickets. Anyone arriving after 7 a.m. will get a wristband with a different set of numbers; if tickets remain after everyone who had a wristband by 7 a.m. has purchased their tickets, people with the post-7 a.m. wristbands will repeat the process.
Online, you can go to strazcenter.org/hamilton and enter a virtual waiting room at 6 a.m.; at 9 a.m., everyone in the virtual waiting room will get a random place in line to buy tickets. If tickets remain after those people buy tickets, anyone who visits the website will get slotted in behind those in the waiting room before 9 a.m. Important: If you wish to buy tickets online, you must have an account at the Straz website (you can create your Straz account here, and we'd suggest you do it now in case there's an issue)
If you're trying to buy tickets by calling, start dialing at 9 a.m., and may the odds ever be in your favor.
