By now, we all know that Hamilton is like, the biggest deal in the world when it comes to musical theatre. It’s such a big deal in fact, that the hip-hop and R’n’B-infused soundtrack is on regular rotation with people who don’t even want anything to do with musicals on the average day. So, when the show’s return Australian season landed exclusively in Sydney this August, it is safe to say there were a lot of people scrambling for tickets (especially those of us who had booked into the previous run, only to have our fun spoiled by Covid lockdowns, ugh!).
So, will you be in “the room where it happens” before Hamilton leaves Australia for good after January 25, 2025? If forking out upwards of $100 for a decent ticket is still a little out of reach for you (damn you, cozzie lives!) then we’ve got good news. To celebrate the final performances going on sale, the producers are running Sydney’s first ever Hamilton flash sale for three days only!
How does Sydney’s Hamilton flash sale work?
The flash sale starts from 11.00am AEDT on Monday, October 28. A discounted $79 ticket price is available on select tickets when purchased online from this time, until 11.59pm AEDT on Wednesday, October 30, 2024.
The fineprint: the offer is valid for performances from October 29 to January 5 only, excluding Saturday matinee and evening performances, subject to availability. (Note: a handling fee of $9.90 per transaction also applies for online bookings.) Once the offer ends, ticket prices revert back to normal ticket pricing and the offer price is no longer valid. (The offer is also not valid on previously purchased tickets, four-ticket discounts, or combined with any other offers.)
“But hey now, didn’t I see some cheaper tickets for like $70 on Ticketmaster?” I hear you ask. Well yes, you did. Here’s the thing though, those seats are not very good. So, if you want to get excellent seats (get outta here, nosebleed section!) for less than $80, this exclusive flash sale is your chance! Head over to ticketmaster.com.au to make your purchase.
Can you still enter the Hamilton ticket lottery for Sydney?
I also sense that you might be asking another question – “What about the Hamilton ticket lottery, is that still a thing?” Yes, the $25 ticket lottery is still being run by TodayTix, and you can throw your hat into the ring by entering for free in their app. Of course, this is a game of chance that does not guarantee you’ll score a ticket, let alone a cheap one. (You can find out how it works and all the T&C’s in the TodayTix app.)
