Ticket lotto kicks off for ‘Hamilton’ at Bushnell

- By Christophe­r Arnott

“Hamilton” is returning to The Bushnell, and so is the chance to win $10 tickets to the show through an online lottery.

The ticket lottery has been a part of the “Hamilton” experience since the show opened on Broadway and is now regularly conducted for all the different national tours of the show.

The lottery began Monday, with tickets available for every performanc­e at $10 each to the winners. Tickets raffled between Monday and June 16 are good for performanc­es the week of June 22. A new lottery begins on Friday for the following week of performanc­es.

“Hamilton” is at The Bushnell from June 22 through July 10. It is the second time Lin-manuel Miranda’s Tony-winning show about the first U.S. Secretary of the Treasury has visited the theater. This engagement was postponed two years by the COVID pandemic.

The lottery is conducted on the official “Hamilton” app, found at hamiltonmu­sical.com/ app or the usual app stores, and works on all IOS and Android devices. Lotteries start at 10 a.m. on Fridays and ends the following Thursday at noon. Participan­ts are notified, whether they win or lose, between 1 and 4 p.m. on Thursdays.

Lottery winners have just two hours to claim and pay for their tickets. Each winner can buy up to two tickets. The tickets are then held at the Will Call desk of The Bushnell box office and can be picked up there starting two hours before the performanc­e they are for. A valid photo ID is required. The tickets are void if resold and are non-transferab­le.

Regular tickets for “Hamilton” are still on sale through The Bushnell for $91 to $266. Some performanc­es are not sold out, and certain grouping of tickets have yet to be released to the general public.
