^ It won't be much of a birthday treat if you have to pay, especially with you being a poor student!!!

I've just booked what will be my 6th visit! (Still paid less than one premium ticked in total for my 6 tickets!). More Scary that I've booked a ticket for 2019!

Can you have two bookings on the same card for the same performance. The seat next to me is available for my mam to come with me but she wants me to get it. Yep- just have both emails and they’ll swipe your card twice at the entrance. I bought a pair and then added a third seat elsewhere for the same performance for myself, my mum and sister and it was all grand!

Does anyone ever win the Hamilton Lottery? Do you get good seats from it? Long time lurker here! I won the lottery for this past Friday's performance and our seats were Stalls B38 and 39 (end two of the row) so are classified restricted view. I didn't find them too bad though as you only miss a small section of the side. Although row B is very close to quite a high stage I did like being able to see facial expressions. I was so shocked to win though, after entering for most performances since it opened, I thought it was never going to happen!

Because when I bought them they were sold as "normal" seats.

Wow! When I send a message that I thought the view was restricted I got an email from boxoffice saying that they never heard someone complain about those seats and that the view wasnt restricted!!!! A month later they changed it to restricted view!
I paid 100 for them (100 a seat) and they werent marked obstructed.... three weeks ago.

Stephenson Ardern-Sodje will be on as A Ham tonight. Intriguing! Hope Jamael’s okay, I saw the Thurs matinee and all seemed fine but then Ash went on in the evening. I guess with Sifiso as Burr (as he has been since Thursday too), they’re a bit short - good job Stephenson wasn’t added to the cast a while back really.

Just saw this for the first time tonight. I enjoyed it a lot and everything about it was great as You would imagine. New a bit about the show and a fair few songs but was still very exoted. Stephenson Arden-Sodjie was superb as Hamilton, filled with charisma and played the character very welll with a very nice voice. I can see him doing very well in the West End and glad to have seen his debut. Don’t know who was Burr but believe it was an understudy so if anyone’s knows please tell. Can’t really add much else to what has been said but I really loved the lighting in the show and had very good seats in row J of the grand circle and they are nicely priced.

Yes - that’s what i mean...sorry if that was unclear. I mean they would not schedule an u/s to do a Saturday night show. They would never be desperate because they are there to fill in when called upon.

I think Sifisio was on as Burr tonight. He goes on quite a lot and have heard only great things about his performance.

Just managed to grab a pair of £20 seats for a Saturday night in February 2019. Grand Circle slips 1-2. Will be my 3rd time seeing the show. Hopefully the view isn’t too bad?

Wont be that bad but do know that you will be seated on a bench with little legroom.

I found the legroom better in the U/C slips than in either circle but you do have to lean forwards. Still totally worth it for the price!

At least you have back support there. Here you can't easily lean backwards without hurting your back and because you're very close to the people next to you.

It’s kind of a given that Swings and Standbys are amazing, but given the amount of lyrics in this show this is just mind blowing for the same week!

Giles' attendance really is curious, misses random shows every week. Hope he's okay and it's just a thing to protect his body and voice etc.

Has anyone had issues with the ticketing system. I received a new card (but still have the one I paid on) and even after calling to inform them of this my email has arrived with the old details on it. Now I cant seem to get through to customer service after trying on 3 occasions today and I go tomorrow!! aargh!!

dazzerlump If you still have the card you originally paid with then just take that one with you, it doesn't matter if it's expired it'll still work and produce your tickets. You only really have to change the card over if you no longer have the original payment card

So how does the ticketing work, in a nutshell. I'm meant to be going to the matinee on 14th July but can't now - how on earth would I be able to transfer a ticket to a friend, without it going to waste?
