Tickets for the highly anticipated spring run of Lin-Manuel Miranda's 'Hamilton' in Chicago will go on sale as early as Wednesday, marking the latest chapter in the show's already impressive history. The three-year, Tony Award-winning run in Chicago has set a precedent for demand, suggesting that a local ticket to this cultural phenomenon will be all but impossible to snag.
Perched at the CIBC Theatre Downtown from March 4 through April 26, 2026, 'Hamilton' promises to deliver an unforgettable experience with its unique blend of hip hop, jazz, and R&B-infused score. Tickets for the show will range from $40 to $159, with top-tier seating available for a more indulgent $183.
However, not everyone will have easy access to these coveted tickets - 40 seats will be made available through a lottery system at just $10 each, though details on this initiative are expected to be revealed in the coming days. In its previous Chicago stint, over 2.6 million people caught 'Hamilton' at the CIBC Theatre during its initial run of 1,341 performances - a staggering figure that left many fans eager for more.
With an impressive resume boasting 11 Tony Awards, a Grammy Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, it's little wonder why 'Hamilton' has become such a global sensation. The story of founding father Alexander Hamilton's life is sure to captivate audiences in Chicago, with a casting announcement expected in due course.

who else is ready to fight for those $10 lottery tickets?!? 
i mean, Lin-Manuel Miranda is a genius and the show is going to be EPIC as always! 
40 seats at that price?!? it's like the universe is playing a cruel joke on us, but in a good way, right?! 
i'm still dreaming of that first Chicago run back in 2016... now we get another chance and I'm SO here for it!!! 
this show has already made over 2.6 million people crazy it's like they're expecting us to be broke or something 
and don't even get me started on the prices, $183 is just insane 
i mean, can't they just make some of those seats more affordable for regular peeps? 
I'm def gonna try to get in on that, fingers crossed! 
! Like, $10 for a chance at those premium seats? No thanks! And don't even get me started on the prices themselves... I remember when 'Hamilton' first came out and tickets were like $50-$70. Now it's like they're trying to nickel-and-dime people out of their hard-earned cash 
. I mean, I love Lin-Manuel Miranda as much as the next guy, but come on, can't we just have a normal ticket price like everyone else?! 
. I mean, come on, 40 seats at $10? That's just an excuse for the system to favor the hardcore fans, you know? And don't even get me started on the prices for the other seats. $183?! Are they kidding me? 
.
.
. It's like they're intentionally making it impossible for regular folks to get tickets 
. I mean, the show's already famous, what can you expect from the Chicago run? Over 2.6 million people saw it last time so I'm sure the demand will be insane again. Can't wait for more info on the casting announcement tho!
. And don't even get me started on the prices themselves - $40 to $159? That's just ridiculous 
?
, might be outta reach but we'll def try again 
I mean, I get it, the show is gonna be insane and all, but come on! 40 seats for $10 each? That's like a golden ticket to musical heaven 
The prices are already kinda steep, so adding that extra layer of exclusivity is just rubbing salt in the wound 
. I'm def checking out their website ASAP to see if I can snag one (fingers crossed!) 
can't wait to see the casting announcement tho, alexander hamilton's story is straight fire 
I mean, who wouldn't wanna see Lin-Manuel Miranda's genius on stage? I've heard the show is literally AMAZING, and the score is straight fire 
! I've been thinking about how crazy it's going to be trying to get tickets for the spring run – $10 for those lottery seats? That's a pretty sweet deal if you ask me 
. Now we're getting 40 extra chances through that lottery system... fingers crossed I can get in on the action
