From my understanding, only people who are current season-ticket holders have rights to buy tickets to Hamilton. Though they have to buy next year's season-ticket and have the opportunity to buy one or two additional Hamilton tickets. A friend of mine who is a season-ticket holder told me about this when Hamilton was announced.
So, make friends with someone who has a season-ticket now.

Well, current season ticket holders will have the first rights to buy additional tickets to Hamilton, but the fact that they will likely have a limit, coupled with the fact that there will be 32 performances ... it seems logical that there will be tickets available for non-season ticket holders.
That said, it'll still be ridiculously difficult to come by tickets, and they're going to be crazy expensive.
I have a season ticket holder friend who has promised me one of her additional ticket opportunities, but if I can't get a ticket for a reasonable price, I'll go with my original plan of waiting a decade or two to catch this show.
It's going to be ridiculously hard and expensive to get tickets for Hamilton. They're only going to have a few tickets for those performances due to season ticket holders. What tickets they will have should go on sale sometime this summer and be gone probably the day of sale.
Hamilton is one of those we'll wait a few years down the road, take a 90 min flight to LGA and make a NYC night out of it... I mean, it's not even worth trying to get tickets.

Not sure why this misinformation keeps getting spread and most of the time it's spread with venom on social media. Season ticket holders only get access to the first week of the show (8 performances during the first Tues-Sun Nov 6-11) and as hertfordshire mentioned, there will be 32 total performances over the course of a month.
In regards to season ticket holders buying extras, this is the official statement from DPAC:
-----------
AS A SEASON SEAT MEMBER, HOW DO I PURCHASE ADDITIONAL TICKETS TO HAMILTON?
At this time, we do not have information regarding how many, if any, extra tickets Season Seat Members will be able to purchase to HAMILTON over and above their season seats.

Honestly, I'd be surprised if extra ticket purchases are allowed at all given demand and public pressure.
If you are still shut out of tickets during the general sale, blame scalpers, bots, and crazy demand for a theatre that only holds a 2712, not season ticket holders. That's how tickets to popular events work.

I'd be surprised if season ticket holders don't get to buy some extra tickets just because they're the bread and butter of the theater's finances. If I had to guess they'll get to buy one extra ticket for each season seat... which will still leave two weeks worth of tickets for the non-subscribing public.
At least I hope that's how it works since, I admit, I'm a season ticket holder.

I'm with you because not only bread and butter but because of the crazy price increase this year for the season. That being said, they don't need us to sell out Hamilton. They have all the leverage. Also with the way they make it easy to unload unused tickets and pick our exact price/profit on the DPAC Ticket Exchange (if you haven't used it, it's the Sell Items button and tickets go live on the TM website), I fear they'd just be enabling more TM-approved scalping.
