With so many hit productions heading back on tour lately, high ticket demand has naturally caused a bit of stress for many show-goers these days. With Hamilton opening in Detroit this week, this trend continues—and naturally (three months after tickets originally went on sale), there are limited seats available at this point in the ticket-buying game. One Broadway tradition, however, offers us a glimpse of hope for snagging a pair of coveted tickets at a largely reduced cost.
Enter #Ham4Ham, a digital ticket lottery that allows theater-goers a chance at scoring $10 tickets leading up to specific Hamilton performances. Here’s how it works:
