Here’s what you need to know to get ‘Hamilton’ tickets for the O.C. performances

It’s the most coveted ticket in town.

The Tony Award-winning musical “Hamilton” will come to Segerstrom Center for the Arts May 8 through 27. The public can buy tickets to the three-week run at 9 a.m. Monday at scfta.org and at the box office, 600 Town Center Drive, Costa Mesa.

Tickets range from $80.75 to $200.75 with a select number of $600.75 premium seats available.

There also will be a ticket lottery for all performances, with details to be announced closer to the show’s arrival.

There is a maximum purchase limit of four tickets per account.

The center and “Hamilton” producer Jeffrey Seller said there are many sites and people who are selling overpriced, and in some cases fraudulent, tickets.

For the best seats, the best prices and to eliminate the risk of counterfeit tickets, the center suggests that online purchases for the Costa Mesa engagement be made at scfta.org.

“Hamilton” tells the story of founding father Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant from the West Indies who became the nation’s first treasury secretary. The musical, written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, features a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B and Broadway-style show tunes.

The center is also inviting fans to gather on the Julianne and George Argyros Plaza and participate in “Hamiltunes: An American Sing-Along,” from 4 to 6 p.m. March 3. Costumes are encouraged, and the event will be hosted by three-time Emmy Award-nominated Broadway conductor, pianist and comedian Seth Rudetsky. Admission is free.

Segerstrom Center for the Arts is at 600 Town Center Drive, Costa Mesa. For more information, call (714) 556-2787 or visit scfta.org.
