Trading in the secondary market for Hamilton tickets wasn’t that important to me. They are just one more luxury good/service among many others to choose from.

You can go stand in line for one of the $25 day-of tickets.

I think we’re actually fairly wealthy compared to our peers because we didn’t spend money on private schools, designer label clothes, or second homes that didn’t appreciate. But I don’t pry into their net worths, that’s for sure.

As I said, I’d pay a decent price for Hamilton tickets - have always enjoyed the excerpts and WH performances available on YouTube - but don’t think I’d enjoy it if we had to pay over $200 per ticket. Admittedly, that’s a somewhat arbitrary ceiling, and the market indicates others will pay more, but we all have individual limits on what we’ll spend for certain items. I get the distinct impression that the fact that some of us won’t shell out that type of money for theatre tickets makes some of lesser means who did question their own spending habits. That’s your problem to sort out.

Then what was the point of this thread? And what was the point of writing, "Are there others who would really like to see Hamilton, but just can't stomach the exorbitant ticket prices? I'm really torn, but don't think I can splurge on this."

Rather than taking pot shots at others, I think you should explore why you feel compelled to pass on experiences you yourself state you would enjoy, and which you can objectively (easily) afford, because of some arbitrary threshold of your own creation. That, as they say, is *your* problem to sort out.

I paid $600 for 2 tickets a few weeks ago. I'm going to pretend I didn't just read this.

There's this option for $10 but I also think there's some way to go day-of and wait in line: https://www.facebook.com/notes/the-john-f-kennedy-center-for-the-performing-arts/hamilton-ticket-lottery-details/10156408434808147/

Good decision. Why waste $200 on a show? Go for a movie for under $20 including popcorn..
