It’s never been easier to get tickets to Hamilton at the Kennedy Center. Well, at least that’s how it seems when you compare the current ticket-purchasing experience for the show’s upcoming 10-week run to the nightmarish ticket frenzy of 2018. Back then, members waited in lines for hours, non-members felt duped into purchasing subscriptions, and others prayed to a higher power that they’d win a ticket lottery.

This time, taking your shot at reasonably priced Hamilton tickets is a lot simpler — as of Thursday, there are still hundreds of tickets available in the $59-$79 range, depending on the night, and plenty of $100-$380 tickets in the orchestra, box, and first-tier seats. (Ticket sales opened to the general public on Tuesday.)

If those prices are still a bit steep, as with the last run four years ago, 40 cheap tickets — $10 each — will be available through the #Ham4Ham lottery on the official Hamilton app. The Kennedy Center will put out more info about how to enter the lottery closer to the show’s opening in August.

For regular purchase, customers need to create a Kennedy Center account online using a more recent internet browser than Internet Explorer 11 and — voila! — tickets are there for purchasing. Patrons can also buy tickets in person at the box office or by calling (202) 467-4600. There is a limit of eight tickets per purchaser  — and, as Eliza Hamilton sings in the show, that would be enough.

A Kennedy Center spokesperson declined to comment on Hamilton ticket sales. But based on how many tickets are still available, it’s possible pandemic-related postponements — along with the availability to watch the Broadway rendition of the blockbuster musical on streaming service Disney+ — have had an impact on demand. The show was postponed in 2020, rescheduled for July 2022, and, finally, put on the calendar for a shortened run from August-October.

Tickets sold through the Kennedy Center’s official Hamilton website will be mailed in physical form or delivered digitally two weeks before the performance. The center warns that third-party sellers are often scammers offering fake, overpriced e-tickets.

Until August, Hamilfans can get excited for the live show by reading DCist’s previous coverage of the Hamilton craze in Washington, which dates back to March 2016.
