The producers of Hamilton have launched a new incentive to allow audience members more chances to win tickets to the much-coveted show.

Tickets for Hamilton, which opens Wednesday December 6 at the newly restored Victoria Palace Theatre, will be released via a daily lottery, which can be entered into via the musical’s app, downloadable from the Hamilton website.

Tickets will be available for £10, with theatregoers invited to sign up for tickets daily, between 4pm and 2pm the following day. Successful ticket holders will be contacted via the app, and invited to pay for their tickets.

Winners will be notified within an hour of the lottery closing, and will be chosen at random.




This is the latest digital incentive by producers to combat unauthorised ticket sales via touts, which Hamilton organisers are stamping out thanks to the Hamilton Paperless Ticket offering from Ticketmaster.

Hamilton, which is currently booking until June 2018, is a hip hop and R&B retelling of the rags to riches story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton.

Newly created boxes within the theatre have also made room for extra seats in the re-imagined Victoria Palace Theatre, which reopens to accommodate the show.

It has become one of the most successful musicals on Broadway, with tickets reportedly changing hands for up to $10,000 in the past.

The show is described by producers as ‘the story of America then, as told by America now’. The musical has played to packed houses on Broadway since 2015 and has become a stalwart of the modern Broadway landscape.

Hamilton opens at the Victoria Palace Theatre December 6.
