Tickets to see the Broadway phenomenon Hamilton at the Aronoff Center next year go on sale this Friday, Nov. 16 at 9 a.m. The touring production of the show will be in Cincinnati Feb. 19-March 10.
The difficulty of getting tickets to see Hamilton on Broadway has been a comedic punchline for the past two years and there is nothing to indicate that tickets to see the touring show will be any easier to come by. So if you're hoping to attend, you should probably make plans to be online or at the Aronoff box office Friday morning.
You can order tickets at CincinnatiArts.org. To get them in person, visit the box office at the Aronoff at 650 Walnut Street.
Details from the ticket on-sale press release:
There is a maximum purchase limit of four (4) tickets per account for the engagement. When tickets go on sale, prices will range from $65 to $195 with a select number of $279.00 to $449.00 premium seats available for all performances. Additional fees will apply to online purchases. There will be a lottery for forty (40) $10 seats for all performances. Details will be announced closer to the engagement. Group sales are not available for this engagement.
Producer Jeffrey Seller says, “It's tempting to get tickets any way you can. There are many sites and people who are selling overpriced, and in some cases, fraudulent tickets. For the best seats, the best prices and to eliminate the risk of counterfeit tickets, all purchases for the Cincinnati engagement should be made through CincinnatiArts.org.”
Hamilton's mix of Hip Hop, Blues, Soul, Jazz and American history took Broadway by storm, earning a record-setting 16 Tony nominations in 2016 (it won 11, including for Best Musical). The show also won a Grammy and the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
Update: Tickets to see Hamilton at the Aronoff reportedly were all sold out after only two hours. Stay tuned for info on the lottery tickets.
