If your schedule is flexible enough to make the trip on short notice (or you’re willing to call off work), you can try to get $10 Hamilton tickets for the Pittsburgh performance via lottery system! Read below for details.
“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. Released in 2015, “Hamilton” quickly became one of the most coveted Broadway performances across the U.S., and has earned 11 Tony awards. The musical blends hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B, and Broadway, with the Original Broadway Cast Recording developing a huge following of all ages, earning a Grammy in 2016.
With that demand, ticket prices are expensive, but the Ham4Ham lottery system makes it incredibly affordable to the lucky ones who enter and win.
