Special Fan Matinee Performance Of Hamilton Will Take Place On Wed August 6, 2025, At 1:00 PM At The Richard Rodgers Theatre. At Least 1,000 Seats Will Be Available For $10 Each Through The Digital Lottery.
Special $10 Hamilton Lottery Announced
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Hamilton on Broadway, producer Jeffrey Seller is offering fans the chance to attend a special matinee performance on August 6, 2025, at 1 PM for just $10 per ticket. At least 1,000 seats will be distributed via a digital lottery, which is open now through July 31 at noon.
Original Cast Members Anticipated To Attend
There are 1400 seats in the theatre and it is unclear who will be sitting in the remaining 400 seats, but sources indicate that all the original cast members will be in attendance including Lin‑Manuel Miranda, Leslie Odom Jr., Phillipa Soo, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Daveed Diggs, Christopher Jackson, Okieriete Onaodowan, Anthony Ramos, Jasmine Cephas Jones and Jonathan Groff.
How to Enter the Lottery For The Special Matinee Performance
Fans must enter the lottery through the official Hamilton Mobile App. Lottery winners will be notified between 1–4 PM on July 31 if they have won and will have two hours to purchase up to two tickets. Winners must be 18 or older, and tickets are non-transferable and must be picked up with matching ID.
The official press release states that you can enter the lottery using the Hamilton Mobile App or you can use the Hamilton website to enter the lottery - but that does not appear to be true as the Hamilton website has no mechanism for fans to enter this special lottery- many cynical fans have complained that this project is really just a marketing scam by the show producers that want to get the flagging Hamilton app on another 150,000 mobile phones to boost ticket sales.
Evening Performance to Support Immigrant Rights
The August 6, 2025 7 PM performance, on the same day as the special fan lottery, will be invite-only performance and will serve as a fundraiser for the national, multi-ethnic, multi-racial alliance of immigrant-serving nonprofits: Immigrants: We Get the Job Done Coalition. VIP packages are priced from $2,500 to $10,000, and are available for purchase at Hamillton VIP Tickets
Hamilton Show Continues Its Broadway Run
Hamilton, with book, music, and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, remains a staple at the Richard Rodgers Theatre. It won 11 Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2016. A new block of tickets is now available for performances through November 23, 2025.
Ticket Warning for Fans
The Hamilton producers warn fans not to buy tickets for any of the August 6, 2025 performances from third-party sellers, as they are unauthorized and are circumventing the whole intent to give back to the community. Their warning about any tickets sold on this market as potentially being counterfeit is unfounded and fearmongering.
