Try American Express Concierge
If you have access to using Amex’s Concierge service, give them a call on Tuesday and inquire about tickets to Hamilton. Simply call the number on the back of your American Express Platinum or Centurion card. The Concierge service had worked for me many times, including the time I brought my family to New York City and we purchased tickets to Hamilton and got 3rd Row Orchestra Seats for $199, while the people next to us paid $1,000 each by buying them after-market.
NOTE: Reader Sean reported “Called AMEX Platinum Concierge and they said they aren’t able to help with Hamilton day of sales because of the digital waiting room” In the past, I’ve gotten tickets from Amex even on the 1st day of the sales, but as always, things could very well have changed. If anyone heard differently, please share.
Thanks to Amex Concierge for the 3rd Row Orchestra Seats for my family – Hamilton NYC – Spring 2017
