SCHENECTADY, N.Y. -- The unique style of "Hamilton" makes the musical one of the most popular shows on Broadway. It won't be coming to Proctors for another 17 months, but it's already drawing a lot of interest. 

"It's this bit on American history delivered in this way that is so now," said Michael Eck, Proctors' senior communications and public relations leader. "Different races, walks of life, different types of music, strains of hip-hop that have never been in Broadway before."

But those seeking tickets for "Hamilton" at Proctors need to be aware of scams.

One Facebook event has more than 5,500 interested. It seems legitimate until you click on the link to purchase tickets.

"If you've spent the money online and they've sent you a ticket and you look at that ticket and you're excited, it's not a real ticket," Eck said. 

That's because it's a bogus website offering to sell tickets for thousands of dollars.

Single tickets for "Hamilton" at Proctors actually don't go on sale until 2019. The only way to get a ticket now is to subscribe to the Proctors or the Capital Rep season, which guarantees a ticket for "Hamilton" next year. 

But if you are seeking single tickets next year for "Hamilton," Eck says buying them through Proctors is the only way to make sure you are not getting scammed. 

"We've got a proprietary ticketing system with many, many safeguards in place so that the customer doesn't get scammed, and that is what we want to make sure happens," Eck said.
