With the flash of a cannon blast, 60,000 Hamilton tickets came and went. Within hours of Playhouse Square releasing the first round of tickets April 13, fans of the musical snapped up every available seat, leaving unlucky stragglers “Helpless.” But you haven’t quite missed your shot. Here are three alternatives to get in the room where it happens.

Wait For It
Playhouse Square is said to be releasing another round of tickets across price points closer to Hamilton’s July 17-Aug. 26 run at the State Theatre. These seats range from $60 to $435.

The Story of Tonight
Those Hamil-Fans willing to try their luck can enter a lottery for one of 37 $10 tickets made available before every performance. Details on whether those seats will be sold online, via phone or in person are yet to be announced.

The World Was Wide Enough
Of course, you can always try to make it work (work) on online ticket exchange giant StubHub for steep upcharges. As of May 21, these seats are on sale for $90 to $2,200.
