A Saturday?  Your chances just went down.  A friend got box seats in Feb just about two weeks ago (Sunday night performances), and I got mine for July about 5 weeks ago.   It was the first date I tried.  ( I'm a teacher, so the whole summer is available.)

Good luck.

They are all sold out apparently. I find it hard to believe though as people got them for December last month... Does anyone have any advice?

Sorry to hear that, Maxx.  

But as I said, both a friend and I, a few weeks apart and in Nov. got box seats for Feb and July....so that poster had incorrect info.

The success rate seems to hinge on "when can you put me in a box?" moreso than "I want to go on this date."

#58Hamilton Box Seats

Just back from Hamilton and I sat in upper box G seat 1 and my friend was in upper box H seat 1. Both are on the right hand side.  I took photos from both boxes so eventually I will have to figure out how to post those somewhere.  From G (closer box), I had to do a lot of leaning over and resting my arms and elbows on the railing if I didn't want to be sitting back in my chair and peering through the rails.  The leg room was great, and the chairs move around so you can get as close as you can within the box.  I had a great view, but could obviously not see everything happening on the extreme right.  From the upper box, I could see the tops of heads and the rotating stage, which was weird for me since I almost always sit in orchestra seats.  I LOVED the show, but felt a bit far removed from the action.  I felt like I was the only one clapping or laughing since there were just two others next to me.  By the way, Seat 1 in the right boxes is better than either seats 2 or 3, in my opinion.  

That said, it was an absolutely wonderful way to see the show with the original cast without breaking the bank, and I would do it again if that was the only way to afford it and I accepted going in that it would indeed be a partial view.  My friend, going in completely blind to anything Hamilton related, loved the show from her seat in H.  Would have loved to have had the lower boxes, but having asked my only NY friend to go the box office in October, getting two seats for one of only two possible dates in December was a miracle.  I booked these travel dates 10 months ago, so they were set in stone.  People we spoke with in NY did a double take when we would mention we had seen the show at all.  They all wondered how in the world we got tickets!

My seat is orchestra E24 and according to that site, the whole row is considered partial view and it seems like where my seat is, the lights will be blocking most of my view... I am not a bit scared and annoyed (since I paid almost $200 for my ticket..).

I ended up getting a partial view seat for July the 7th. It's row C seat 20. Has anyone sat here before? Also I think the OBC should still be there as (I think) they all have one year contracts.

>> I sat in the house right box when I saw the show and I didn't miss much, maybe Burr giving Lafayette's intro for "Guns and Ships". I have house left box seats during Thanksgiving weekend and I feel like with the stairs being on that side, I'll miss a few things there. I'll let you know afterwards.

Hi!  Thanksgiving weekend has come and gone, so I'm curious as to what you thought of the view of the boxes on one side vs. the view from the boxes on the other.

Thank you.  :)"

Sorry for the non-response.

House right box seats (C and D) are better than house left (A and B). Because the stairs are on stage right, it's hard to see what happens over there.

I had a friend go to the box office two weeks ago to try and get a single box seat and the first available date she could get was in November.

#68Hamilton Box Seats

My view from Box H seat 3.  Missed a few things but I would skip the front boxes, way too severe. 

#70Hamilton Box Seats

I sat at Box D seat 3 which I think the best box seat. I enjoyed watching the show in 3D. This was my third time seeing the show and the acting was still tight. Btw I was told at the box office that the box seats are sold out for the entire run (I assume for the duration they sell the tickets)!!

Esgred said: "Oh, no!  When did they tell you all the box seats were sold out (date)?  Were you at the box office when you were told this?

Thank you!  :)

Last week. Yes the box office staff told me and he said the earliest regular price ticket availability is for partial view in late December and January.

#74Hamilton Box Seats

Correct. I didn't ask which partial seats are available but from ppl who were buying at that time, I guess rear orchestra side seats.
