'Hamilton' tickets go on sale April 30

HOLLYWOOD – Tickets to see “Hamilton” at the Pantages Theatre go on sale April 30, organizers announced this week. 

Tickets will be available for performances Aug. 11 through Dec. 30. 

There is a maximum purchase limit of six tickets per household. Tickets range from $85 to $225, and there will be a lottery for 40 $10 orchestra seats for all performances. 

Theater officials warned consumers to avoid purchasing tickets from third-party sellers. 

“It’s tempting to get tickets any way you can,” said Jeffrey Sellers, a producer for “Hamilton.” “For the best seats, the best prices and to eliminate the risk of counterfeit tickets, all purchases should be made through an authorized Hollywood Pantages Theatre ticket source: either the Hollywood Pantages Theatre box office, or Ticketmaster.com.”

“Hamilton” is the story of America’s Founding Father, Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant from the West Indies who became George Washington’s right-hand man during the Revolutionary War and was the new nation’s first Treasury Secretary. 

Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B and Broadway, “Hamilton” is the story of America then, as told by America now. 

Music and lyrics are by Lin-Manuel Miranda. “Hamilton’s” creative crew previously collaborated on the 2008 Tony Award winner for Best Musical, “In the Heights.”
