PORTLAND, Ore. -- For those who missed a chance to get tickets to the Broadway musical Hamilton when they first went on sale they had another chance this week. That second chance didn’t make everyone happy.
Kala Schraner-Hayes bought tickets when they first went on sale from Broadway in Portland. She spent two hours on the ticket website then found out she could buy tickets for $500 each. When she heard about this week’s sale and checked prices she found tickets on the same row were on sale for $345.
“Broadway in Portland really disappointed me. I should feel I can watch theater and not have to go to another city in order to get a decent price," Schraner-Hayes said.
