Hey Republicans, how'd that Hamilton boycott work out for ya?

'Hamilton' seats became available to the general public Monday morning, and only minutes after the official 10 a.m. sale time nearly 100,000 people were in the digital queue.

A first round of seats became available to American Express cardholders last Monday, and for that sale some 80,000 people were also in the digital line.

"If every position in the queue is being held by a person (as opposed to a bot), that equates to roughly 9 percent of San Francisco's population," SFGATE reported.

Today tickets went on sale online, by phone at 888-746-1799, and in person at the Orpheum Theatre Box Office for the SHNSF production that runs March 10 to Aug. 5.

Starbucks - 1
Hamilton - 1
Star Wars - 1
Kellogg's - 1

Republicans - 0

outfits like StubHub.

We're going to be in NY right after New Year's, so I checked out seats. $800/per seat for anything decent.
On a Wednesday afternoon matinee, we could get 4th row center Orchestra seats for $1600/seat!
