Sooooo...I signed up to get access to advance ticket sales for when Hamilton comes to the Chicago Theatre. I got the notice today. First of all it said this thing I had not seen before, and I am wondering if it's specifically a Hamilthing or if it's now common in a realm of ticket sales that I simply haven't accessed before; it says: "We are a resale marketplace, not the ticket seller. Prices are set by third-party sellers." Secondly, I was of course expecting that tickets would be in the hundreds of dollars, but I wasn't expecting that per-ticket prices would start at over half-a-thousand and go up over two thousand. Wow, that's a more dedicated theatre-goer than I who is paying over two thousand. Did any of y'all pay less than $550 per ticket?
