MHOTC’s Bryan won tickets and they were in the front row — centerstage! Let us know if you’ve won in the comments. “You’ll be back!” The blockbuster musical Hamilton is back for its third run in Denver. And so is the show’s famous $10 ticket lottery. The iconic show plays the Buell Theatre from October 16 to November 24, 2024. Tickets sold out quickly (of course!), so many fans were left empty-handed. However, there’s still a shot at getting the highly coveted tickets and you won’t have to pay any outrageous prices — just ten bucks!

Here’s how you can take your shot at getting $10 tickets:
All times are MST.
Enter via the official app for Hamilton. You can also enter online via Lucky Seat.
When you enter, select which performance dates and times you wish to enter. You can choose one or two tickets at the time of entry.
You can also increase your chances by selecting all performances for the upcoming week. However, if you choose the latter, be sure you can attend any of the performances because, if you win any given date, you will not be able to change it.
The lottery opens at 10 a.m. every Friday and closes at noon the next Thursday — prior to the following week’s performances. There are a total of 6 drawings — see schedule below.
Winner notifications will be sent between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. every Thursday for the upcoming week’s performances via e-mail and mobile push notification. Winners have only two to three hours to claim and pay for their tickets, so check your e-mail and texts often.
Winners must be 18 years or older and have a valid, non-expired photo ID that matches the name used to enter. Tickets are non-transferable.
Limit one entry per person. Repeat entries and disposable e-mail addresses will be discarded.
Lottery tickets may be picked up at will-call beginning two hours prior to the performance with a valid photo ID.
Lottery tickets are void, if resold.

I’ve won the lottery the last two years!! Both times the seats were in the FRONT ROW CENTER!!! Amazing!;
I won the chance to buy two $10 tickets. Saw the text come through, and was so excited. But I was at work and got busy and forgot to go online to buy the tickets within the 2 hour window. Was totally sick about it when I realized it 4 hours later. So be warned–there’s no second chance if you miss the 2 hour window. I can enter the lottery again each week, but I know that chance of winning twice is slim. :( so sad We will never be able to afford to buy tickets outright. Just too extravagant for our budget.
I won’t tickets using luckyseat. They were on the 3rd row in the middle and were incredible!!!
I won Lucky Seats tickets to Wicked, and they were third-row seats! It was such a treat! I haven’t been as lucky with Hamilton, but I’m giving it a go for the last week and keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks to the DCPA for this special opportunity!
Before LuckySeat, I won tickets to Wicked. This was back when we had to go in person to the Buell, the day of the show to enter the lottery. Names were pulled 2 hours before the show until all tickets were gone. I won 3rd row center orchestra tickets during Hamilton’s second visit on LuckySeat. This third run I already had tickets but reminded family, friends and my coworkers to enter every week.
I’m afraid very little work was done Thursday afternoons the past few weeks. I wonder how many entries they get. Seats are always exceptional. One friend needed accessible seating. She won this time around and was able to take her 89-year-old mother who uses a walker! She said their seats were by a door, easy to access and the view was excellent. The process has improved with each show. Can’t wait to see what is next.
