How To Get Hamilton Tickets in Dallas

We now know that Dallas Summer Musicals is bringing Hamilton to the Music Hall at Fair Park in 2019, from April 2 through May 5. We already knew that getting tickets to what’s known in theater parlance as a “super hot show” would be difficult. But not impossible. We have three pieces of advice to anyone trying to guarantee their spot in the room where Hamilton happens next year.

1. If you bought season tickets to Dallas Summer Musicals’ 2017-2018 season, as we advised all the real Hamilton heads to do when it was first announced that the biggest musical in the country was coming to town, then congratulations on your foresight. You are locked in for Hamilton and get first dibs on seats as long as you renew your subscription for the ’18-’19 season by Feb. 16.
2. A season subscription is the best way to assure yourself of Hamilton tickets. A new subscription to a stacked seven-show season that also features The Phantom of the Opera and Aladdin starts at $204 (although better seats are considerably more costly).
3. Group tickets “may not be available” for Hamilton, according to Dallas Summer Musicals, and single tickets haven’t even gone on sale yet. Single tickets usually go on sale “8-12 weeks” before a given show’s opening night, so you could just spend all of January and the first part of February 2019 hitting “refresh” on your computer. Alternately, sign up for Dallas Summer Musicals’ newsletter for an early tip-off and a chance to take a first shot at tickets. What’s one more newsletter in your email inbox vs. paying a scalper thousands of dollars for tickets next year?

Good luck.
