The long-awaited announcement of ticket sale information for the upcoming San Francisco production of "Hamilton: An American Musical" has finally been delivered.

According to a series of tweets by SHN SF, tickets for the show will go on sale first to American Express card members beginning at 10 a.m. PST on Monday, December 5. Cardholders may only purchase tickets at SHN's specially created site, www.hamilton.shnsf.com and only six tickets may be purchased per household.

Tickets will then go on sale to the general public a week later, at 10 a.m. PST on Monday, December 12. These may be purchased online, via phone at (888) 746-1799, or in person at the Orpheum Theatre's box office.

Ticket prices range from $100-$197 for regular tickets, with a handful of premium seats available for $524. Those who don't score tickets may still enter each performance's day-of-show lottery to nab one of 44 orchestra seats for $10.

"Hamilton" is a take on the life of Alexander Hamilton, the first Treasury Secretary of the United States. It grew to pop culture fame for its thoughtful blending of contemporary music styles like hip hop, jazz, and R&B juxtaposed with an American colonial landscape.

Grab your musket and powdered wigs — the show will begin in March 2017.
