Hamilton in Detroit

The week is finally here! Hamilton is coming to Detroit and tickets go on sale THIS WEEK. The question on everyone’s mind is either, how can I afford to see Hamilton or how can I even get my hands on a ticket?

Ticketmaster Verified Fan

Tickets for the Detroit engagement of HAMILTON will be available online through Ticketmaster Verified Fan®, on Friday, January 25 at 10:00 AM ET.

Verified Fan is a new fan-facing technology from Ticketmaster that allows pre-registered fans to unlock access to tickets without competing against scalpers and bots.

“Verified Fan is the newest program to make tickets available to theatre-goers at regular prices. I am confident that it will be a valuable service to our fans. We know how challenging it is to buy tickets and this new Ticketmaster program will make the process a whole lot easier.” – Jeffrey Seller (producer)

Ticketmaster Verified Fan® registration begins now and will close Wednesday, January 23 at 10:00 PM ET. Visit verifiedfan.ticketmaster.com/hamiltondet to register.

Those who registered will be notified by Ticketmaster via SMS text message on Thursday, January 24 if they have been selected for the Verified Fan on sale. The Ticketmaster Verified Fan® on sale will be available for purchases online only.

Tickets will be available for performances of HAMILTON at Detroit’s Fisher Theatre, March 12 – April 21, 2019.

There is a maximum purchase limit of four (4) tickets per household for the engagement. Tickets range from $80 – $185, with a select number of $485 premium seats available. Ticket prices include facility fees and parking.

Fisher Theatre Box Office

A limited number of tickets will also be available for purchase through a wristband lottery at the Fisher Theatre Box Office (3011 W Grand Blvd., Detroit). From 7:30 AM – 9:30 AM on Friday, January 25, numbered wristbands will be distributed.

More About Hamilton

If competing for one of the coveted tickets to Hamilton just doesn’t sound appealing, here are other ways you can fill the Hamilton void in your life:

• Listen to the Hamilton soundtrack Free to listen on Prime!
  Tip – I tried listening to the soundtrack a few years ago and had a hard time getting into it. It wasn’t until I carved out a chunk of uninterrupted time where I could listen to the whole thing all the way through, that I got hooked! Think of the soundtrack like a movie or book on tape – you’ll get the bigger picture and capture more detail from the story if you can devote a serious amount of time to listening.

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. Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B, and Broadway, HAMILTON is the story of America then, as told by America now.

With book, music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler and musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, HAMILTON is based on Ron Chernow’s biography of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton.

The HAMILTON creative team previously collaborated on the 2008 Tony Award ® Winning Best Musical In the Heights.

HAMILTON features scenic design by David Korins, costume design by Paul Tazewell, lighting design by Howell Binkley, sound design by Nevin Steinberg, hair and wig design by Charles G. LaPointe, and casting by Telsey + Company, Bethany Knox, CSA, and General Management by Baseline Theatrical.

The musical is produced by Jeffrey Seller, Sander Jacobs, Jill Furman and The Public Theater.
