NEW YORK — Be prepared to fork over a lot more Hamiltons to see the Broadway smash “Hamilton.” Producers have pushed the top premium seat price up to a record $849.

The previous high for premium ticket prices was $477 for the best seats at “The Book of Mormon.” “Hamilton” will easily shatter than mark, an attempt to cut scalpers out of the resale business.

But lead producer Jeffrey Seller has also opened access for people unable to spend hundreds by increasing the number of last-minute digital lottery seats for $10 – a Hamilton – from 21 to 46 people. “It’s not a token amount. Forty-six tickets a night is a lot of tickets,” he said.
