Tickets to See Lin-Manuel Miranda's Iconic Musical 'Hamilton' Go on Sale This Wednesday in Chicago
Fans of hip-hop infused history will have a chance to relive the story of America's founding father, Alexander Hamilton, when tickets for a spring 2026 run of "Hamilton" at the CIBC Theatre Downtown go on sale this Wednesday. The musical, which has already had a three-year run in Chicago and remains one of the longest-running shows outside of New York, is expected to sell out quickly given its massive popularity.
The show will run from March 4 through April 26, 2026, with ticket prices ranging from $40 to $159 for general seating, while premier seats are available for a whopping $183. For those looking to catch the show at an even lower price point, there will be a lottery for 40 seats per performance, with tickets available for just $10 each - although details on the ticket lottery process have yet to be announced.
Chicago was one of the first major cities outside of New York when "Hamilton" hit the road in 2016, and it's safe to say that fans here can't get enough of the show. The CIBC Theatre has already welcomed over 2.6 million people during its initial run of 1,341 performances - a larger audience total than even the original Broadway production.
The musical itself blends hip-hop, jazz, and R&B with Miranda's masterful storytelling to bring Alexander Hamilton's life to the stage. With an impressive list of accolades under its belt, including a record-breaking 16 Tony Award nominations and 11 wins, as well as Grammy and Pulitzer Prize awards, "Hamilton" is undoubtedly one of the most iconic musicals of our time.
While casting for the upcoming production has not yet been announced, fans can mark their calendars for Wednesday when tickets will be available to purchase online or through the CIBC Theatre box office.

Oh man, I'm so stoked that Chicago is getting another shot at seeing Hamilton! 
It's crazy how long this show has been running and still selling out quickly... that $10 lottery tickets though? Genius move by the theatre! 
I can imagine it'll be super popular with hip-hop fans and history buffs alike. Did you know they're planning to run the show for like 8 weeks straight?! That's some serious stamina, right? 
. I mean, $183 for a seat? Are you kidding me? They're gonna sell out quick, no doubt, and leave a bunch of people stuck with hundreds of dollars in ticket prices that they can't even afford 
. And don't even get me started on the lottery - 40 seats at $10 each? Good luck getting tickets at all, let alone for a decent seat 
.
i mean who wouldn't wanna see lin-manuel miranda's masterpiece live? 
it's gonna be crazy to try and get tickets though, especially with the lottery thingy... but hey 40 $10 seats is def worth a shot, right? 
anyway, can't wait to relive alexander hamilton's story in person. anyone know if they'll have any fun behind-the-scenes tours or stuff like that? 
. And can you believe they're adding a lottery option for $10 seats? That's amazing 
. It's no wonder this show is still going strong after all these years - it's just that good 
. Bring on the Lin-Manuel Miranda magic 
!
. Anyone who gets those seats is gonna be super lucky, but what about the rest of us who wanna see the show and can afford it? 
anyway, the lottery system for $10 tix sounds like a great idea... can't wait to see if anyone's gonna score those sweet seats 
march 4th can't come soon enough, i'm already planning my outfit
