Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “Hamilton” opened on Broadway in 2015 and for the past eight years has consistently been the hottest ticket on the Great White Way.
Way back when the 11-time Tony Award-winning musical first premiered at the Richard Rodgers Theatre, critics and fans alike were dazzled by the original hip-hop reimagining of Secretary of State Alexander Hamilton’s life.
By 2017, some seats were going for as high as $42.5K for a pair of tickets according to Financial Planner LA.
That’s more than the average starting price for a minivan in 2023.
However, as the years have gone by, prices have become much more reasonable to see Broadway’s buzziest, most talked about production.
In fact, at the time of publication, some tickets are only $117 before fees on Vivid Seats.
For those keeping score at home, that’s 0.002% of $42,500.
Fans that want to get up close and personal with Hamilton, Burr, Washington, Lafayette and King George may have to shell out a bit more – but not much.
Ticket prices for lower-level orchestra seats can be procured for around $180 before fees depending on the show.
Not in New York City in the “room where it happens?”
Not a problem.
You can still get your “shot” to see the show in person.
“Hamilton” is on tour in cities like Toronto, Virginia and Minneapolis.
All prices listed above are subject to fluctuation.
